back in the days of knights and Armour ....the round table dudes lol...
they had a beverage called mead...and it was essentially the first form of beer...it was basically a mixture of water and honey for an energy beverage....where as today our main thing is fruit or berry juice.\\
then the olden days brew masters added hops and barley (barley porridge was big in those days) and beer was born and mead sorta disapeared as the mainstay.
when the chinese came to america to work on the railroads they too carried wine bag containers full of water and honey to revive/energize themselves especially those that worked in mining camps.
water and honey (which is hydroscopic :meaning attracts water)
dont mix together very well ...
takes time for it to disolve unless its heated as in tea. but mix honey: say a tablespoon with a table- spoon of applecider vinegar (5% only of vinegar) and they make a golden juice of
perfect viscosity that makes a great beverage
to loose weight with. mix it with welches grape juice and its very much like wine. Anyways,
my point being if you have a small glass of this blend....one half hour before mealtime....you'll eat much less.
the other thing to remember is....and this is
wicked hard to do....is to listen to that small signal or inner voice (feeling ?) that says
i'm full...
as soon as you sense it....STOP.... because
thats the key... for some reason the brain has a
delayed (about 20 minutes.)
reaction for telling you,,,,,,,,,,,,,, (stop eating)..................
(your full) ... and thats where the apple-cider vinegar/ honey and water/or juice ........
gives you back the control.
because basically....
you can get into a rut of not stoping eating until you have totally pigged out ...and until you get that i'm a freakin beached whale feeling (hands on yer belly) you just won't quit....and you wish you had listened. it's just a matter of adjusting your mental association to... food.
otherwise its....
ohhhh wheres the rolaids, i need tums or mint tea scenario.
