Diet Idea – Orange Peel Juice
Once again I would like to state for the record that I’m not a doctor, an herbalist, or dietician. However, I’ve tried this recipe before and it did help lose some pounds. According to the student who gave me this idea it is also suppose to be a very good source of vitamins, and a drink that can lower cholesterol. 
(One orange will meet about 20% of an adults daily folate needs, as well as being an excellent source of vitamin C. Oranges supply 80 fat-free calories packed with energizing carbohydrates that fuel energy levels. In addition, oranges contain Monoterpene and d-limonene, which comprises more than 90% of the oil in orange peel. These two items have been found to prevent some cancers. Recent tests on the anti-oxidant effectiveness of various commercial fruit put oranges at number five in effectiveness against damaging oxidative processes in cells.)
Basically this is an all-natural drink that you take three times a day. I’m not 100% sure why it works, but I believe it could be a result of the high concentration of pectin (a water-soluble fiber) found in oranges.
Pectin is known to suppress hunger for up to four hours after ingestion. In addition studies have shown that pectin also helps reduce cholesterol levels, and can help lower the risk of heart attacks.
While I don’t know if this is the only reason this recipe is so successful I’ve had several female students who swear by it. One eighteen year old lost 15 pounds in two months using this recipe, and she didn’t change her normal eating habits.
When I tried it, I lost ten lbs, in two months and I have to admit I ate a lot less than normal.
The nice thing about this recipe is that is very simple, requiring only two ingredients, and about half an hour of prep time.
Ingredients:
Approximately 2 – 4 pounds of oranges (I suggest juice oranges, but you can mix various types.) (I also strongly suggest organic oranges, as they are less likely to be coated with pesticides and other toxins.)
3 quarts of water
Instructions:
Wash all oranges thoroughly. Cut oranges in half. Remove pulp. (I suggest juicing them since you discard the pulp.)
Discard pulp (All you want to use is the peal and the white fluffy stuff attached to the peal.)
Place orange peals in pot and add water
Bring to boil
Boil for approximately ½ hour
Let cool
Dosage:
Drink three 8-ounce glasses pure day.
Can drink warm or cold.
The flavor is a little bitter so if you must, you can add one teaspoon of honey per 8 ounce glass for sweetness.
