Healthy Lunch Wrap

With step by step images showing you what I used.  This has helped me curb my addiction to wheat/ breads, and has allowed me to go Gluten Free.  My husband still prefers the Spinach wraps over gluten free ones, but since that's the only gluten he gets we figured why not.  This has helped us work on reaching our weight loss goals.  

Spinach wrap

Green Goddess dressing

Yellow Mustard

Spring Greens

Your wrap should be looking like this

I used real chicken.
This was a leftover chicken breast cooked in Sweet Korean BBQ sause

I put this much meat on, but found it to
be too dry for that much meat.

Add shredded carrots

And shredded cucumber.  Can you see how thin my shreds are?  

Wrap and tuck in the ends.
This wrap is slightly stretchy, and moist so it
sticks together well, and keep everything in.

I made two types, so this picture shows tomatoes.
Cut in half.

Eat and enjoy!

My Rating: This is the second Yacon product/ dietary supplement that I have tried in my life time.  Between these two products there are many differences.  This Yacon syrup is truly a syrup consistency, thick, dark in color, sweet smelling, and reminds me a lot of molasses. So if you like molasses then you'll have no issues taking this product.  I on the other hand do not like molasses and so really had to force myself to take this. However when I was taking this product I really felt good.  My metabolism was faster, I was digesting my food better and more often, my bowels were more regulated.  So there are some very important benefits for having this product being a constant dietary supplement.  However like anything you take for your health consult a doctor before taking to make sure it will be beneficial to you.  To be honest I was taking it daily for a while, then we started going out of town a lot during one of my reviewing months and I stopped taking it, and now as I write this review, I remember that I had stopped and am now remembering the good benefits that I got from taking this, so as I prepare to head out of town again, I'm planning on taking this with me so I can have those nice benefits again.

Pros: works well, good benefits health wise, true to its nature

Cons: tastes and smells like molasses which I don't like

My Review:  About a month ago I started using this product in combination with Garcinia Cambogia Advanced.  They are a paired dietary supplement for weight loss and all that comes with loosing weight, gaining energy and such.  For the Slender Cleanse Advanced it says to take one capsule twice daily 30 minutes before your meal.  I have to be honest, this isn't the first time I've taken a weight loss pill 30 minutes before a meal, but usually its before every meal, not just two, so I was pretty skeptical on if it would be strong enough to do something positive for my body.  These products are suggested for men and women who need to loose 10 lbs or more.  Its also claimed that you should notice weight loss within the first week, and if you loose more than the recommended safe loss of lbs in one week to stop taking this product pair.  For me personally I had a hard time remembering to take this because I didn't take it for breakfast, I needed it for lunch and dinner.  So that wasn't a good start.  between this product and the Garcinia Cambogia Advanced, the positive things that I noticed are these: I wasn't as hungry at each meal so I ate less per sitting, I ate more often but smaller portions, things flowed smoothly in the digestive area which does help with weight loss.  The negatives that I noticed is that I didn't loose weight (maybe a pound or two, but not enough to swear by these products), and I woke up starving to the point of nausea which isn't good.

At the same time I honestly feel like I didn't give my best to this product review, but because of a deadline I needed to post a review.  So what I'm going to do is continue to use this product, more diligently because I really do want to see weight loss going on in my body. In a couple of weeks I'll come back and post my results.  In fact I'm going to start today! Wish me luck on this journey, as I really focus as much as I can on taking this product the way it is supposed to be taken, so that I do get positive results.  I would love to come back and say I lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks or 3 weeks.

Pros: I wasn't as hungry at each meal so I ate less per sitting, I ate more often but smaller portions, things flowed smoothly in the digestive area

Cons: I didn't loose weight, I woke up starving to the point of nausea

My Rating: thumbs up and down
