Summer’s over! I’m back. Hope you didn’t miss me too much, and that it went as well for you as it did for me :-p

I just got back from a 10 day trip in Fire Island, NY. My co-travelers were my girlfriend, as well as our two fur babies: Thor (a dog), and Worth (short for ‘Bunsworth,’ who, if your deductive reasoning is that of a small rodent), a bunny.

Now that I’m energized and rejuvenated, I’m ready to get back into the swing of things with you now that the school year is starting, and Labor Day is right around the corner!

​I often get asked how you should start your day when you’re looking to cut weight. Since I gained a few myself this past July (that’s since been remedied), I’m on this same regimen that’s worked wonders ;-)

I call it my Trio of Liquid Terror — Just check out my faces in the picture below:

1) Alpha Brain, a nootropic by Onnit.

This is the only product on the market that’s been scientifically-proven to boost cognition, which is helpful when I wake up and I’m groggy in the morning.

2) Coffee.

In addition to the nootropic, nothing gets my brain working and my bowels moving (sorry for the visual 🤮) like a couple of cups o’ joe first thing. To sweeten my coffee just a tad, I use some stevia extract powder, which does NOT cause the insulin spikes that sugar does, nor the deterioration of gut health like artificial sweeteners do.

3) Lastly, I pour a couple of tbsps of Apple Cider Vinegar into a cold bottle of water.

ACV has numerous health benefits, though be warned from my face in the above image — It does NOT taste good!

Just like when mommy told you to eat your vegetables or to take your medicine as a child (maybe you haven’t even grown up yet, and she still tells you those things!), this is one of those things you just have to bite the bullet on.

Your body will thank you for it in the very near future 😎…

Within 20–30 minutes of drinking these three, I’m alert, I’m energized, and I’m flushed out (again, sorry for the visual.

The result? I’m ready to conquer my day!

Try the Trio out and let me know how it goes for you by leaving a comment to this article in a couple of days ;-)

Sincerely,
