Weight Loss Tips & Fruit Fly Death Trap

Fruit Fly Death Trap
As Raw vegans, we have lots of fresh produce in our kitchen and I'm sure you do, too. Thankfully, we don't have a problem with fruit flies, but I've been asked on more than one occasion about how to deal with them. So, for all of you out there battling fruit flies ---> no more! Check this link out for a fruit fly death trap. I know, I know, vegans shouldn't harm anything that can run, swim, fly, or hop away from us. (That didn't really include fruit flies, did it?)

Weight Loss Tips
1) Some studies show that drinking a V8 about 20 minutes before you eat your main course can help you cut the calories you'd normally consume in one sitting. Makes sense - you feel more "full" as a result, so you eat less of your main meal. Sounds good to me! The only change I recommend is bypassing the V8 and making a Green Smoothie (here is a recipe to try) or a glass of fresh Plant Blood instead.

2) Here's an interesting tip... according to the author of The Body Clock Guide to Better Health: dimming the lights in the evening can help snack cravings go away, because "darkness can act as an off switch to your body clock (sending messages to your brain to stop eating)." Hey, whether you try this tip, or you put Vicks Vapor rub under your nose when you're at the movie theater so you can walk by the popcorn stand without smelling it (my mom does this) - nothing is off limits when it comes to fast and easy tips for losing weight!
