Rule 46

Probiotic food.

What the hell is probiotic? Can you get it from naturel food? Why would you even want something with such a bizarre name? And what’s the connection between your vagina and your waist size?

Probiotics are living microscopic organisms, or micro-organisms.

 In some cases they are similar to the “good” bacteria already in your body, particularly those in your gut.

Makes sense? Lovely! Moving on..

You can get them from fermented foods with active live cultures. Most common: probiotic yogurt.

Yes I eat yogurt almost every day.

Researches show that if you soak your lentils overnight you can get probiotic and benefit from them. However I found out that yogurt does the best work for me.

You can also get them from supplements, but stop being so lazy!

Now would you even want it? Besides health stuff that nobody really cares about (like not suffering from leaky gut syndrome that makes your gut leak) it helps you to digest food properly; meaning your abs look better.

Recent research suggests that probiotics may help you slim down because they make your intestinal walls less permeable. As a result, fewer of the molecules that may contribute to obesity, type-2 diabetes, and glucose intolerance are able to enter your bloodstream. The research found out that women that take probiotic lost twice the weight than those who didn’t. The research also found that men that took probiotic supplement lost just as much as men who didn’t but men who ATE probiotic lost twice as much as those who didn’t.

The connection between your vagina and your waist size?

To have small waist you need probiotic as you just learned.

The old good vs. evil story basically? To have the probiotic survive in your body you need to have more probiotic than fungus.

Now where do you have fungus in your body? In a moist dark place.

Meaning? If you don’t take care of your vagina you’re not going to have a small waist.

Relish
Horseradish
Soy sauce

All vinegars, (except for Apple Cider Vinegar)

Peanut oil

Do it for 6 weeks. See what happen.

The bold means that I enjoy those things and that you need to use your brain.

I enjoy my coffee, is it good for me? Hell no!

Remember the 80-20 rule? Same here, don’t do candida cleanse unless you HAVE to but don’t let the candida get out of control either.

It’s about balance. Prevent the candida from growing and you can still enjoy the “bad things” like coffee and milk.

Candida cleansng sucks! Cut a bit now so you don’t have to cut it all! There’s a war in your body and it’s time for peace….

One more thing before recipes… I thought about giving you a list of foods that you can have but you can have anything else that’s not on the list and if it scares you don’t do it. If you panic no diet is ever going to help you! You need to see a therapist to help you overcome your food issues and your mommy/daddy issues you might have.

And now for awesome people that want and are willing to lead a better life even if it means they have to work a little bit to change it, I have some recipes!
