HIBISCUS - Hibiscuses are shrubs and small trees that produce beautiful, colorful trumpet-shaped flowers. Native to warm climates, they are just one of several species in the Malvaceae family. The plant has virtually no fragrance (some offer a minimal scent). Some common names include wax mallow, mazapan, Turk's cap mallow, and sleeping hibiscus.A VERSATILE INGREDIENT - Hibiscus cut and sifted flowers are caffeine-free, making them ideal for herbal tea blends. Or mix them with green tea for a soothing, refreshing flavor and aroma. They are tart and colorful, which makes them a nice addition to any cuisine. Hibiscus cut and sifted flowers have also been used in cosmetics and as a dye.FLAVORFUL AND ROBUST - When the cut and sifted flowers are dried out and soaked in hot water, they deliver a tart flavor with a hint of cranberry-like flavor. Hibiscus flowers enhance the taste of green and black teas with their flavor. Mix them with peppermint, linden leaves or spearmint to add robust, intense flavor to beverages.ORGANIC FROM BURKINA FASO/EGYPT - Frontier Co-op Hibiscus Flowers are hand-picked and sun-dried, and then cut and sifted to provide a flavorful blend for many drinks and foods.

Avoid added sugars. You want your body burning lean and clean, and sugar is just empty calories with no nutritional benefit. Read the ingredients: does it contain high fructose corn syrup? Read the nutritional facts: is the "added sugars" entry in the double digits? If the answer to either of these questions is "yes," just don't. Reducing sugar consumption is the place to start.
I could say, if it helps you get through the day, I could say, maybe just a little to treat yourself. This regimen is goal oriented, this is not a walk in the park, no half measures. You can either do the work and reach your goals or you can waste your time deluding yourself that you and you alone are able to defeat basic chemistry and biology and spin your wheels wondering why nothing is working. Increasing sugar intake leads to body weight gain, and sugar reduction leads to body weight loss, flat out.
You know what I love? Herbal tea! I buy bulk loose hibiscus, that shit's delicious and healthy! I drink it hot, people tell me they love it cold, you really can't go wrong! I make another blend, peppermint, raspberry leaf, and chamomile. Also, fucking delicious! And I don't add a single thing to it, no sugar no dairy, just hot water and plants.
Maybe some McDougall can help:
>One special note for those of you who are trying to lower your triglycerides; fruit raises triglycerides in sensitive people and needs to be severely limited – at least for several weeks – in people trying to lower triglycerides.7 Fruit (natural, dried, and as juice) is made of simple sugars and the primary sugar is fructose.
>....
>It may be especially important to reduce the intake of the simple sugar fructose. Fructose has an especially potent effect on de novo lipogenesis; causing insulin resistance, raising glucose, insulin, and triglycerides, and causing hypertension in animal models.1,13 Fructose probably makes a much greater contribution to human obesity than does any other sugar.13
Now, maybe your doctor is correct and you should limit fruit. I ordinarily think fruit is great (so does Greger), but McDougall obviously will dispense the advice to limit it, especially juice and dried fruit first.
In the meantime, if you want to lower your blood pressure, try Hibiscus tea. I buy it in bulk on amazon.
Here the Dr Greger video on the stuff. He cautions not to drink more than a quart a day and with a straw to protect the teeth from the acidic effects.
Amazon does list organic herbs that can be used for tea. I use those for cold brew.
Peppermint for 1 pound is around $10
Hibiscus Petals for 1 pound also around $10
Okay, thank you. Did you use something like this? Or did you use fresh hibiscus?
