WEIGHT LOSS SECRETS: Blackstrap Molasses

Blackstrap Molasses is one of the most commonly over-looked foods in the diet and weight loss world, mostly because it is a by-product of sugar and it is feared and ignored rather than understood and used for its nutritious super-food properties.

When talking to people on the the idea of dieting and committing to  weight loss, they claim the top reason they avoid it is because they they hate feeling hungry and having mood swings like they have experienced in the past with other fad diets. They dislike being low on energy and having cravings for their favorite sugary treats. When people try to lose weight using many of the common and mainstream ways that the weight loss industries offer, they find themselves low on vitamins as they are counting their calories and restricting their intake of minerals such as copper, Iron and potassium. This can have detrimental effects on our physical and mental health, We should never feel low on energy, especially if we are working a high powered job or running a home with young children.
