Reddit reviews Yerba Prima Psyllium Whole Husks, 12-Ounce

I definitely think if you stopped in January, with beginning to try in May, your system should be clear.

I like to do a natural detox about everything 3 months (when the seasons change), for 3-5 days. You could add several different types of detoxing after you quit smoking to really, really clean up.

I add a spoonful each of bentonite and psyllium husk to a glass of cranberry juice. (It can be any juice, but cranberry is strong - to mask out weird tastes - and it's known for being "good" for feminine issues. And I love the taste.) It's super sugary though, and cutting sugars is a good part of a detoxing, so I'd water it down. Mix everything up well with a spoon, and drink up.

You could also add Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) into your life, if you haven't be acquainted already. It's amazing.
It's can be crazy disgusting at first, but the results are wild. It will absolutely impact your:

• digestion
  
• bowel movements (can cause diarrhea if you take a lot at first; work up to 1 shot glass of it)
  
• energy
  
  
  
  It's recommended before you eat in the morning and/or afternoon. A shot every morning will start to make changes within a day. Do half a shot to start, mixed with water. You'll want a chaser of at least more water, if not something juice to get that taste out of your mouth.
  I used to do this as part of a healthy weight loss plan. It helped with my appetite and digestion, and honestly gave me a lot of diarrhea. I realized I was just taking too much, so cut back, and it now really helps if I'm ever constipated. You will likely really want natural and safe ways to help with constipation with your preggers. You will likely be crazy constipated often.
  
  Lastly, a actual "detox" kit is always good. These are my 2 favorites, but there are more out there that are good. Inner Cleanse is the cheaper (1/2 the cost), and it's gentle. Like ACV, it can cause diarrhea. Read and follow the directions.
  The other one is Raw Cleanse. It's more complicated and I found it pretty gross, but if you can stomach the process (or find a middle ground with it, like adding juice), it's quite effective. Both of these kits are different, but their ingredients have detoxing elements that nothing else so far has offered.
  
  Also, I recommend drinking kombucha at least weekly. IMHO, this is one of the best brands for kombucha (besides locally made goodness). There are a few other brands that are good, but watch our for the sugar.
  
  So, if it's not apparent by now, all of these detoxing, in some way, stimulate you to ultimately poop a lot. Trying all these different ways of detoxing will not only detox you up, but you can find one detox that you prefer, and then do that one occasionally. I do a super big detox, as in all the things described above combined, maybe every 18. mos - 2 years, and then just one of those (cranberry juice blend or detox pills) every ~3 months.
  
  Hope this helps! Congrats on planning a family. <3

I had the same reaction when I did that math. Eye-opening, to say the least.

For the smoothie, you can mix it up, but I go with this basic scheme every day:

1-2 tablespoons of psyllium husk powder

1-2 tablespoons of ground flax meal

a handful of fresh spinach (trust me, you won't taste it, but it adds a LOT of nutrients)

a cup or so of frozen fruit of your choice. I have used almost everything I can find: pineapple, banana, strawberries, blueberries, apples, pears, peaches, etc. If I can't find it frozen, I buy a bunch of whatever fruit is on sale, cut it up and freeze it myself.

Fill it up with a liquid of your choice to make sure it blends well - I use unsweetened vanilla flavored almond milk because it's low calorie and I'm trying to lose weight, but I've also tried orange juice, drinkable yogurt, kefir, and other such things. You can use whatever liquid you want though.

And that's it. Blend it up into smoothie form and enjoy. One caveat: drink/eat it quickly and with a glass of water - the psyllium husk absorbs a ton of liquid and it can be a little thicker than you want if you let it sit for more than 20-30 minutes. The fiber takes up volume in your stomach as it absorbs water, it keeps you ahem regular, and everything in the recipe is so nutrient dense that it gives your body a lot to chew on, so to speak. A lot of the ingredients for these smoothies come off of this list the ANDI scale which is a rough guide to how much nutrition you get per calorie out of certain foods. Higher scores = more nutrient density = higher efficiency diet.

Disclaimer: if it works for you, awesome! If not, try something else, or meet with a nutritionist. I used the advice of a health counselor service I get through work, but if you go to any Whole Foods, you can schedule an appointment with their "healthy eating specialist" for free, and they can be remarkably helpful.

Hey! OK. I'll try to give you some insight!
(I'm also detoxing right now, as i'm also job hunting. Yay for us ;)

Are you using anything to help you detox, aka pills or fiber or something?
Here's what I use: (and it's all natural)



Detox Pills

OR

Ultimate Cleanse

For these next two, what I do is mix them together in a glass of cranberry juice in the morning and at night, following the directions on the label of starting small and slowly increasing the amount. For short periods (which I would do right at the beginning, for a few days) you can do use the bentonite like 5 times a day (so use it without the pysllium in the afternoon), then cut back to once in the morning, once at night again.

Bentonite

Pysllium

Both of these combined = a lot of fiber and cleansing. You may get constipated, you may be pooping a lot. I wouldn't recommend doing them both for the first time, at the same time. Try the bentonite and psyllium first, do it for 5 days or so, then the pills.

1. There isn't a way to really speed up the process, it's more like you just want to hit it HARD. Drink water, no trees or booze, exercise are all great. Employing detox methods like the ones I mentioned above can help kick it in the pants.
   
   
2. I've been able to pass a test within 2 weeks by cutting out all bud and doing this regime + lots of water, general exercise, eating well, etc. I have never been a very heavy smoker (I'm 5'6, 150lb, smoke 1/8th a month). So, take that for what it's worth.
   
   
3. I think less fat = faster metabolism, and less room for stuff to stick around. I know NOTHING, but I'd assume less fat would be a good thing.
   
   
4. While you're at the store getting those awesome detox supplies I recommended or looking on amazon, pick up some melatonin, and maybe some other natural sleep meds. Melatonin is GREAT and has always helped me for short term sleep issues. Other sleep meds should definitely work, especially if you're never used them before. ;)
   
   Hope this helps girl!

Hey, I'm like you with that almond flour...

Try swapping 1 TBSP of Almond Flour for 1 TBSP of 0 carb cookies and cream (or any other flavor that goes well with chocolate) protein powder.

Swap 1 TBSP of the Unsweetened Coco Powder for another 1 TBSP of 0 carb cookies and cream protein powder

Swap 2 TSP Coconut Flour for 2 TSP Psyllium Husks.

Go from 1.5 TBSP of splenda to 2 TBSP to retain the sweetness.

You have suddenly made that 7g into like 1.8g and you jacked the fiber up by a LOT...they taste delicious (I double this recipe and eat it for dinner sometimes)

Try this. Makes pooping fun! I mix/sprinkle this on just about anything.

http://www.amazon.com/Yerba-Prima-Psyllium-Whole-12-Ounce/dp/B00013YYKS that is one way.

I looked on amazon then cross referenced reviews on iherb and would go with this one (I haven't tried it but may in future based on reviews)

I should probably make a throwaway but fuck it. I bought Psyllium Husk at Haggen (my semi-local grocery store) and you can also buy it on Amazon.

Psyllium husks, my friend... Psyllium husks.
