Lose weight with Gold Coast Hypnotherapy

Cravings for salty foods banished.

"I used to snack on salty foods all the time. Since Abby showed me how to use self hypnosis two weeks ago I have lost 3 kgs.

It's awesome because it only took 30 minutes to learn how to banish the food cravings.

Now when I go to a friends place I just eat a meal and that's it. Before the hypnosis session I used to compulsively think about what else I could eat. Now I am now longer interested in the food that is around. --

Two months later I have lost 8 kgs. I slowed down a bit in the cooler months but have started losing weight again." Anja Cass, Gold Coast.

SOURDOUGH DATE BROWNIES RECIPE

INGREDIENTS
Makes 12-16

1 1/2 cups of Californian dates, squashed into the cup.
4 large eggs, from pasture fed chickens.
1 cup Kefir made with raw jersey milk.
200 grams (3/4 cup) butter, from pasture fed cows.
1/2 cup of sourdough starter.
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence.
1 cup carob powder.
1/2 cup baking cocoa powder.
3 cups spelt flour.
1 teaspoon cinnamon.
1/2 teaspoon of Celtic sea salt.
Water, (approx 1 - 4 oz).

INSTRUCTIONS

Chop the dates, then process them in a food processor with the eggs, Kefir and softened butter for a few minutes at medium speed until the mixture forms a rough batter. Then one ingredient at a time, add the sourdough starter, vanilla essence, carob, cocoa and just enough water to make a smooth cake batter. The intention at this stage is to ensure that the dates are homogenised with the other ingredients.

In a separate bowl mix the salt and cinnamon with the flour, then add the flour mixture to the batter in the processor. Depending upon the type of processor you may need to use a wooden spoon to help mix the flour with batter. You will also need to add just enough water for the mixture to reach the consistency of a cake batter.

Grease a 12 x 8 x 1 1/4 inch baking tin. Dust the tin with flour, spoon in the mixture and level out with a spatula. Leave the mixture to rise in a warm place (25-28C) for about 12-18 hours or until the mixture has increased in volume by about 80%. Bake at 180C for 45 minutes or until a clean knife comes out dry.

Serve with Kefir cream.

NOTES

The optimum time to bake the brownies are when the batter has increased in volume by about 80%, then the batter should rise in the first few minutes of baking. It's called 'oven spring'. If you wait until the batter has doubled in size before you bake it then it will most likely sink.
