Yesterday I decided to be brave and experiment GT's Organic Raw Kombucha. I chose to try the MULTI-GREEN and COSMIC CRANBERRY flavors. When I first opened the bottled I had to check the expiration date twice because the smell and taste was overwhelmingly sour, almost like beer and wine combined for a bitter sweet carbonated tang. Now I'm not going to lie neither of them taste fabulous, although the Cosmic Cranberry's 5% juice content made it slightly better.

Neither of them tasted horrible. However I am one of those people who will sacrifice taste for health. The same goes for things that taste amazing but do nothing for me or my waistline. The positives certainly over compensate for the not so desirable taste. Kombucha supports digestion, metabolism, immune system, appetite control, weight control, liver function, body alkalinity, anti-aging, cell integrity, healthy skin and healthy hair.

The Hereos star told Cosmopolitan magazine about her eating habits.

“I love wine, bread and cheese. I just have to cut out the bread sometimes. Last night, I drank some merlot and made potatoes au gratin with a rib-eye steak. It was amazing. I hope to always find that balance,” She said.

I'm wondering why they didn't think of this sooner. Portion pals are food management discs that help you to lose weight. They come in a 5-pack of silicone discs that are color coded and can even be used as cutting boards.

The five discs include:
Meat
Chicken
Fish
Sides
Dessert

Portion pals will aid you in eating the proper amount of each food group. I think this is a really innovative diet, instead of forbidding certain types of food you're allowed everything in moderation. That's the way it should be!

You can purchase portion pals HERE for $18!

ABOUT: Goji berries are a SUPERFOOD originating in the Himalayas and other parts of Asia. They've been used in traditional Chinese medicine for nearly 2,000 years until their recent recognition in the US. They're small red berries about the size and look of a raisin.

WHAT MAKES THEM NUTRITIONALLY SUPERIOR?

Goji berries are packed with most of the nutrients we need to help keep us free from infection and illness, and to maintain the strength of body cells, organs and systems. You can't say that about any other food.

• Polysaccharides: the Tibetan Goji berry contains a high level of polysaccharides known as “Master Molecules” – LBP1, LBP2, LPB3 and LPB4 – which work together to fortify the immune system, and are not found in any other known plant.
• Vitamin C: 30% of your RDA in just one serving (1/4 cup) 
• Caratenoids – richest source of all known foods or plants
• Vitamin B complex and Vitamin E
• 18 amino acids, including all 8 essential amino acids – a complete protein
• 21 trace minerals, including zinc, iron (11 mg./100 gr.), copper, calcium, selenium, germanium sesquioxide, phosphorus
• tetraterpenoids – xeaxanthine and physalin
• anti-bacterials & anti-fungals: Sesquiterpenoids: cyperone and solavetivone
• anti-inflammatory agent: beta-sitosterol
