The Drink that Gave Me Back That Energy I Had Lost

I have tried many different supplements over the years to relieve the symptoms of chronic fatigue. I just never had much energy most days. I tried many different products and different herbs. Some of them did help, some I couldn't tell any difference at all. What I realized though was that I wasn't making the most important change. Diet. I spent so much time taking supplements of every kind but didn't eat very much at all. I knew that had to change. Now I realize it is the most important single thing you can do to recover your health.

I heard about this egg drink to help my stomach for candida albicans and started making it. This has brought back all my energy. I think it's all the fat. The surprising thing is I did this to just get rid of IBS (thank you painkillers) but I have energy every day now and I have so far lost about 45 pounds.

Raw Egg Drink  (see note if you don't want to use eggs raw, I like the energy it gives)

Ingredients
•2-3 large whole eggs (or 3-4 medium size), preferably "certified organic" free-range
•2 tablespoons virgin coconut oil
•2 tablespoons unsalted butter (should be organic or certified organic, but no hormones or antibiotics, preferably). Raw, grass-fed would be the ideal.
•1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
•1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, or to taste
•1-2 teaspoons Blackstrap Molasses
•2 to 2 ½ cups of warm water (use boiling water if you don't want it raw)

Other spices can be added to suit your taste, i.e. ground clove, allspice, ginger, etc.

Sometimes I add berries and cocoa powder.

For pain relief I add to this turmeric and some curry powder. About 1/4 tsp each.

I make this in a jar or blender cup with my hand blender.
Here is another shake recipe from my other website.

Coconut Shake (Use berries or bananas)

Who knew that something so simple could help so much. It's great to be able to make plans and keep them. All the mental fog also vanished and I can think clearly again. I'm thinner than I've been since I was in my twenties.

Remember, you have to eat. It is the single most important thing you can do for yourself.
