Health, Wealth and Happiness

OK folks, here goes.

   I have told you all that I have lost weight and that I have started taking a whole food supplement called Mila by Lifemax.  It’s this simple.  I mix the powder, which is Chia seed using a proprietary processing method…..with water.  It tastes kind of neutral and looks like it’s really good for you.  Those of us old enough just know that medicine or something good for you (spinach and its vegetable cousins, for example) don’t taste like Kool Aid.

   After a nice full glass I eat my meals.  I usually get my morning dose, whether my wife puts it in the oatmeal or if I take it with water, as above.  Most of the time, I get a second glass or have it in food, but noit all the time.  This is why I am amazed at the weight loss.  I had not started exercising intil the other day, and I therefore am expecting more loss.

   So here is my favorite value meal these days.  Please don’t think that I am encouraging ‘value meals’ but time and finances sometimes push me to the dollar menu.  They love me at Drive-Through.  I gave up making jokes there however, because so many don’t really speak English as their first language.

   I get a McDouble with no pickles and no cheese.  That cheese is something made in a lab, I believe.  (I just don’t like pickles.)  I then order the star, a side salad.  The dressing is Paul Neuman which is pretty good and either just enough or sometimes a little too much.  I splurge with a Parfait which has surprisingly tasty and attractive fruit on  the botom and Vanilla Yogurt.  It is just enough fruit to seem healthy and just sweet enough to allow me to bypass the dollar Chocolate sundae.

   Now, you MAY be saying to yourself that they see old Dollar Menu Guy (me) driving down the street and specially make these items extra good.  Or Not.  I think that this is what they always serve.  So, back to the Mila.  For about 3 months now I have taken the product on average every day at least once.  They recommend 2, as I do.  I forget though.

   I had lost 16 lbs from 223 to 207 about 2 yearts ago using an herbal tea rather regularly.  In fact it made me more regular, cleansing the colon.  I gave up the tea after it just became a hassle to do all the time.  I managed to keep the weight off, good for me. 

   I had stopped drinking soda about 5 years ago after years of habitual Pepsi consumption.  I really had issues going back 5 1/2 years ago when I had  a heart attack. I cut back on red meat.  I’ve been pretty good, eating better and moving to paradise (Hawaii) and now receiving acupuncture, regular Chiropractic and Energy Healing.

   So to lose 9 MORE lbs when I really wasn’t trying was, well, “Now we got something.” 

   So Mila, by Lifemax is it.  There are so many testimonials that are more powerful than mine, and studies, we GOT studies.  Lots.
