beans, beans, glorious beans

So i love beans and i found my new fav way to cook them in the crock pot with some cilantro, onion and garlic!  yummy and very filling!  Today starts a new week! trying to drink water and not my favorite crystal light.  I just read an article about artificial sweeteners.  It said that not only are they made from various poisonous stuff, they fail in faking your brain out when it wants something sweet!  Your brain is smarter than we think.  when it wants sugar it wants nothing else!  So this means it will tell your body to keep eating till it is satiated!  ugh!  I love cherry limeade crystal light!  Any so i read on and was think ing , wtf are we supposed to do then?? Well water helps a ton, and eating s high protein diet.  Hmmm isn't that what everyone says anyway??  Well i am trying to cut out artificial stuff  and the real stuff wish me luck!

I was watching Dr. Oz and he said to definitely cut out the artificial stuff, and our bodies actually do better with the real stuff. Just small quantities. Go to his web site. Pretty good info.

I totally love beans. I have a bit of an addiction. My family laughs at how much I eat. They are so yummy good for you too.

I love crystal light. It is so bad for you. I save it for when I am desperate.

Good for making a change. That is awesome

I need to come see your glorious garden.. mine looks like a dwarf garden and my squash never even attempted to grow! SAD!!
I'm not a fan of artificial sweeteners so it doesn't surprise me that they are POISON!! ;o)
We need to get together soon!

Oh, I am a beaner! Best way to cook them is with cilantro. Yum! And yes, stay away from the processed foods. Water is good for ya! Drink lots of it! I do have to admit, it is easier to drink lots of water at work than at home. At work I have my bottle right next to me and fill it up several times. Good luck!
