I have been struggling with losing weight tbh, I wanted to take pills for weight loss, but there were so many scary side effects and non vegetarian ingredients!!!! So I am using the natural medicinal properties of common kitchen herbs to give me a metabolic boost every morning!Ā
This is also good for people that hate spicy foods but want the weight loss benefits of spicy herbs.Ā
Ingredients:
š1 Tbsp Ground Cinnamon:reduces appetite, cuts down fat tissue, rich in antioxidants and vitamin A and B, controls blood sugar, helps digestion
šµ1 Tsp Ground Ginger: speeds up metabolism, reduces cholesterolĀ absorption, eases upset stomach, fat burning, cleanses the intestinal tract
š¶1 Tbsp Cayenne Pepper: increases body heat which burns more calories, increases metabolism, removes toxins and fat,Ā surpasses appetite/cravings
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl, slowly add Ā½ the amount of water to herb ratio and mix to form a dough, form the pill shape you desire in the size you desire, allow them to dry in the sun for 1-3 days or until they are dry enough.Ā
Other possible add-ins
Ground Black Coffee: energy, caffeine helps boost metabolism āļø
Crushed Green tea leaves: antioxidant, boosts metabolism š
Black Pepper: Boosts metabolismĀ
So fucking helpful thank you.š
Wow, this is very cool. You can also dry them in the over @ 200F for probably 8 hrs
Ok so I made these yesterday and I can verify that they DO work. The only changes I made were putting in extra ginger and turmeric (by about a teaspoon) and less cayenne (bc I was worried about the spicy uhā¦ after effects). I baked them at 200F for only 2 hours, which is so much less than I originally thought, ya? My pills are also bigger than hers. Like twice the size bc Iām kind of a stimulant addict š
Effects were noticable within 20 mins. (if ya know what Iām saying) No poor side effect, nothing like jittery or spicy down there or anything. I will say that I got a very slight burning ache kinda feeling on my forehead that is exactly the same as when Iām fasting, so I feel like that has to be a really good sign!
1. you will not stop wanting to lose weight when you reach your goal weight because you are literally becoming addicted to losing weight
2. one day you will not be āin controlā of your disordered behaviours and it will happen a lot faster than you think
3. when you tell yourself it wonāt happen to you, that you will stop when you want to, that you will avoid the health risks, that you donāt have a problem, that it will all go away when you reach a certain point, that you wonāt get sick or die, you are lying.
4. people die every day from eating disorders, people just like you, people who never expected things to get out of their control, people who told themselves the same lies.
5. every time you engage in these unhealthy behaviours you are rewiring your brain, and one day you wonāt even be able to happily eat a meal even if you want to
6. you fucking deserve to eat and you donāt need to hate or punish yourself, please seek help before itās too late and youāre stuck with a life threatening and debilitating mental illness for the rest of your life
eating 1000 calories will not make you gain weight.Ā (unless your metabolism is dead – but typically, no.)Ā so if you feel like youāre going to faint or youāre too weak;Ā you will not gain weight if your calorie intake is 1000 calories.Ā most of us (including me) restrict insanely low. 500, 200, 800.Ā and thatās okay, weāre sick. itās expected.Ā but! your safety is important. eating a banana because you almost passed out during chemistry is okaaayyyy. breathe. youāre okay.Ā you will not gain weight because you ate a little extra.Ā if you ate 800 and felt too weak to function and ate a little bit of toast to help that and your intake got up to 950, itās okay.Ā (specific example. just to make things even simpler.)Ā so breathe, have some tea. youāre okay. youāre fine.Ā
Seconding this! Please eat something if you think you are going to pass out or anything like that!!!
Saying no to food isnāt the hardest part. Itās the fact that I damn want that fucking cookie or that slice of pizza. But also I want my legs to be so skinny, my stomach to sink in and my collarbones to show. And then there is the voice in my head telling me that I wonāt have those things if I eat something with more than 100calories in. So I binge because Iām so dizzy and then feel bad about my self for not being more strict with myself..
So to everyone laughing and talk shit about people with ED, fuck off.
