I really enjoy a summer cocktail but not the calories, especially since it is bikini season. So I have made up a few favorites that keep me sipping in the summer.  These low calorie cocktails  keep your waistline in check without cutting into your social life.

Sparkling Lemon  Lime Vodka 

1. A shot of vodka, a few ounces of Pelligrino sparkling water, a tablespoon of lime or lemon juice, whichever you prefer, and half a tablespoon of agave nectar. Stir, serve over ice and enjoy!
2. Another fun favorite is any Crystal Light flavor, with liquor of your choice and mineral water for a little bubbly effect. I especially enjoy the margarita mix with tequila, or the mojito mix with light rum.
Healthy Lunch On The Go:
1 cup Fage 0% plain greek yogurt
1 cup frozen mixed berries
Add the berries to the top of the yogurt and put it in the fridge, by the time lunch rolls around your yogurt is slightly frozen and a delightful lunchtime meal!

      Charcoal has been used for centuries to rid the body of toxins.  If you’ve had a “bad weekend,” ate the wrong foods, are overly tired, bogged down, taking activated charcoal can be a life saver!

Since I have food allergies and environmental allergies, my immune system seems to always be under a constant level of internal stress.  I like to use the charcoal when I’ve eaten food that doesn’t agree with my system, or if I feel that toxins in my body have begun to slow me down.

Where to find Charcoal Pills:  Most local stores will carry these.  However, they could be listed under various name.  ”Activated charcoal, activated carbon, and charcoal,” seem to be the most common terms.  Stores that have pharmacies in them like Walgreens, and Rite Aid usually carry them.  If you can’t find them try health food stores, and vitamin / supplement shops.

  How to Take Activated Charcoal :  Have a hang over??  Been feeling sick??  Immune system bogged down??  Ate tons of bad food?  Then it’s time to pop 2 pills at night before bed.  This will allow the charcoal to absorb the toxins floating around in your system.  When you wake, you should feel refreshed and full of energy!  If you feel better but not quite back to normal, then increase your dose by one pill the following night!

    Other Benefits Of Charcoal Pills:

  • It provides 100% natural relief for indigestion, wind and heartburn
  • Can be taken during pregnancy and lactation
  • Alleviates the symptoms of Dyspepsia (chronic or recurrent discomfort in the abdomen accompanied by bloating, belching, nausea)
  • Relief from occasional diarrhea
  • Wheat and Lactose free
  • Activated Charcoal has been used for many years in the treatment of intestinal disorders
