It is no secret that people are always trying to lose weight or maintain a certain weight..everyone and unfortunately some are so desperate and unhappy and want the quick, no exercise involved fix that they will try anything and one of those ways has been the use of laxatives or excess fiber of some sort. THIS IS DANGEROUS, and the reason is taking in excess fiber or laxatives causes the body to excrete the nutrients taken in (if any-which is even worse) before the body gets a change to utilize the precious vitamins and minerals needed for health and the next thing you know you are malnourished, can't function, can't sleep, your skin and hair are a mess, your bones are brittle, your depressed, lethargic and feel like you are worthless...Sound like a good diet plan???I didn't think so.
Fiber is necessary in maintaining good health and body composition so keep in mind natural sources can be obtained through your diet and should be in the range of 20-40 gr/day..If you are having problems with being regular there are herbal laxatives and teas you can purchase at the health food store that will help get things moving again.
For healthy ways to lose excess check out my older posts and keep posted to this blog..lets do it together.
As per the popcorn...use a popcorn popper and NO butter..try adding nutritional yeast and bragg's natural soy sauce..or go to the health food store they have some wonderful popcorn seasonings
