breakfast of losers

 About that fast. Yes, I know the so-called "Beyonce" lemonade fast is terrible for you. Nonetheless, in the hopes of dropping some weight and my blood pressure, I went on a modified version of it (if any one cares, I'll share) for a week and lost about 8 pounds. I am now trying to drop two more. By Tuesday. When I try to convince my doctor to take me off this damn medication.
Who can explain what these items are and why I have chosen them to start my day?

    Those are chia seeds! The latest superfood, according to Andrew Weil.

    They are filled with Omega 3, fiber, and were the protein of choice for Aztec warriors. (Didn't help them, though, did it?) The seeds famously sprouted fur for the Chia Pet fad.
    Anyway, have a tablespoon for breakfast! Me, I also have half a banana in memory of President Truman and coconut water in memory of Jamaica for extra potassium.

    They don't taste like anything. But after a half hour in water they look like tapioca!
