Weight and Health

 After finding out I am pre-diabetic, I have changed my eating habits and have been searching for better foods and treats. I am learning so much about starches and sugars and well, what I should and shouldn't eat.  I have cut out all white sugar, white bread, white rice, most all breads and no pasta.
I use Blue Agave Syrup for my sweetener and Greek Yogurt in place of sour cream and the milk for my granola. Kale, spinach, quinoa and cauliflower are my new best friends. Take fish oil everyday, fish oil and vitamin D.
The number one thing I had to cut out was the hardest...Dr Pepper. Every once in a while I have a diet soda, but it's rare. I try to choose cranberry juice with a diet lemon/lime soda when I do. I won't lie...diet Pepsi has made it's way into my belly. Truthfully though...no soda for me.  So that is why I am posting about the apple cinnamon water. I am hoping that I can find something I like that will help me out and this sounds good. I'll let you know what I think next time.

Apple Cinnamon Water  is something I just read about. I guess that both apples and cinnamon boost the metabolism, so drinking it is supposed to be a great way to lose.
