Was that New Year's resolution to lose weight? How's that going? Are you still following that diet or
did your good intentions go out with the Christmas tree? What you need is a fresh start. Here's a
yummy diet oatmeal cleanse recipe that features low calorie, lowfat, omega fatty acids, fat-burning
foods, high protein, high fiber, superfood antioxidant goodness. Whew! One little meal sure
accomplishes a lot! Purge those post-holiday pounds. I've lost over 100 pounds and I eat this daily. It's
packed with protein to keep you going, plus it's super-fast to make in the microwave.
Superfood Oatmeal Antioxidant Cleanse breakfast

1 tbsp. milled flax seed (35 calories)

Cook oats and apple in water in the microwave. Sprinkle on other ingredients. Top oatmeal with
blended blueberries and yogurt (add kale and avocado if you can stand it). Eat half a grapefruit 10
minutes before consuming (this cleanses impurities from your system and helps food digest better).
Drink water with a lemon wedge with your breakfast.
Grand total calories are 335 (more with avocado). For that, you get lots of protein, vitamins, fat
burners, fiber, MUFAs (mono-unsaturated fatty acids aka linolenic acids: ALA, GLA, CLA). There are no
transfats, refined or bleached flours or sugar.
Warning, it is a cleanse. It will purge. You'll be going to the bathroom a few hours later, and you feel
be a bit gassy as it flushes the yuck out. But this oatmeal recipe will fill you up and melt those pounds
if you follow a healthy meal plan. If you want to follow my weight loss story, here's My Diet Digest
