Rejuvelac For Weight Loss

by Heather McLaughlin

Rejuvelac is an interesting drink, that many have touted for weight loss. The drink was originally created by Dr. Ann Wigmore, who swore by its consumption. These days, many “raw foodists” make the drink and claim that losing weight is one of the benefits of drinking Rejuvelac.

The good news about Rejuvelac is it won’t cost you much money to see if it works for you. Here’s a very good instructional video from YouTube, made by “Rawlee.”

Following the instructions in that video, you’ll have your first batch of Rejuvelac in a few days. Once you do, you can use it as a base for “green smoothies” or you can drink it just like it is. There are a great number of comments online concerning how it smells/tastes, but I didn’t find anything objectionable about it. (If the batch smells or tastes bad, don’t drink it!)

The idea behind Rejuvelac is that when the wheat berries sprout, you’re getting a lightly fermented product that packs a wallop when it comes to nutritional value. It’s also said to add probiotics to your diet, which should increase beneficial bowel flora, making your time on the pot a true wonder.
