"Weight-loss has never been easier, now you can reduce your calories and fat, get better nutrition, and feel more satisfied."
The seaweed weight-loss diet plan is essentially a liquid meal replacement plan (please see your doctor before starting any weight loss plan). All of the recipes are liquids, so if you want more than just liquids, add some recipes from the nutritional diet plan.
Seaweed made into a jelly is a calorie-free nutritious food additive. Use it as a thickener or flavor enhancer; it perfectly replaces fats and empty calories without any loss of taste. Seaweed jelly is a whole food, and it digests as a whole food fiber. Being 80% water it passes through the digestive tract better than any other food. It is perfect for weight loss, because it fills you up, and is a mineral rich, whole-green food fiber.
If you like the taste of green tea, then you will enjoy the seaweed liquid drink used in the weight loss diet. I recommend you make the seaweed liquid using brown dried seaweed (otherwise known as Kelp) for all of the seaweed shake recipes. It is inexpensive and mixes beautifully with herbal tea, coffee, milk, juice - or any liquid. You'll be amazed at how just a small amount will fill-you-up - and all calorie free!
No diet will work unless you reduce your calorie intake, so do not flavor the seaweed jelly with chocolate syrup and ice cream, as I did in the beginning. In addition, leave enough time between shakes – it is a food, so do not gulp!
I have only used two types of seaweed for the seaweed diet recipes, the brown (kelp) and green dried seaweeds. Both are inexpensive (about a $1. an ounce from an Asian market). (I tried using the red seaweed many different ways, but found it too strong a taste to mix with other foods).
The dried brown seaweed (Kelp) has very strong gelling abilities, absorbs more water, and is the choice for weight loss. (Two dollars ($2.) for two ounces of dried seaweed, makes eight cups of liquid, enough for 32 shakes).
Make both varieties, the green (Wakame) seaweed used in these recipes has a different mineral content, and a decidedly unique ‘green’ taste, the two mixed together, creates even another taste- texture. It is fun to alternate, and you will enjoy them both.
