Protocol Cocktail

In the last few weeks I have become aware of different liquid protocols. ACV - the magic bullet - at least it's getting a lot of credit for a lot of things. Cinnamon and Cloves - the top two for stimulating insulin production and reducing blood sugar. My readings lately have been in the mid prediabetic range. Then there is Seasalt , baking soda and other things. So, I created my own cocktail.

3 sticks of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of cloves (about 25 by count)

I soak these in a half glass of water overnight, then boil in full glass in the microwave, Gets a nice rich colored tea. Put back in the fridge. Later pour in a 24 oz jar. I add 2 tbsp of ACV. 1/8 tsp of baking soda and a pinch to 1/8 tsp of Seasalt .
Add water up to 16 oz total and top it off up to 24 oz with Ocean Spray cranberry juice.

A little tart, but not bad at all.

(Note: I am getting some pH strips to see exactly what kind of acidity I'm dealing with: in any case I always brush and rinse immediate after drinking this)

I'll see if I can get my blood Sugar back down.
I am very near my target weight (that stubborn stuff around the middle). I hoping this will help with those final few.

Of course I have been very disciplined in my diet the last few weeks, which includes a salad (chopped up in a food processor) made from lettuce, cuccumbers, carrots and celerly. All, so-called, negative calorie foods. My salad dressing is 2 Tbsp of oil, 1 TBSP of ACV, 1 heaping tsp of sour cream.

As of today, in the last 8 weeks I have gone below 150 for the first time in 12 years. My target is 143-147 (according to BMI calculators)(I fast at least one day a week - and that's enough) Tweet
