Potty Talk Session
During my busy month, I watched Dr. Oz (very skeptically because I know he gets paid for almost all products he features) while waiting for my car at Jiffy Lube. He showed a diagram of how Metamucil works. This powder supplement is mixed with water/juice and after a few minutes it turns into a gel-like consistency. As it goes through your digestive process, the gel collects unnecessary sugar, water, and junk and pushes it to your poop. It's healthy, lowers cholesterol, you get a great amount of fiber, and better yet, IT WORKS! I've taken it almost every day for the last three weeks and love it.
You should try it. The Target brand mix is good too and much cheaper. Give it a try!! My next challenge... Garcinia Cambogia. Stay tuned!!!

Ingredients:

4 oz Mozzarella (low fat)

With a potato peeler, slice zucchini into thin ribbons for "noodles". Brown ground turkey and add sauce. Combine spinach, cottage cheese, and egg in bowl. Layer with turkey and sauce. cottage cheese mixture, and zucchini "noodles" repeat layers.

Hey Kenzie! I'm an old friend from middle school. Do you know if the metamucil capsules work the same as the powder? I've been wanting to add it to my diet but it's a bit on the pricey side for me, however I recently found some capsules for super cheap.
ReplyDeleteThanks and keep up the blog!!

Hi Toni! Great question. They would be very similar products. The capsules actually do not have sugar, and therefore less carbs (which is nice). I know it can be pricey, but capsules are a great choice or the store brand powder works great too! I tried Target's brand and it works just as well.
DeleteGood luck and thanks for reading!
