Can you overdo magnesium?

Magnesium is a crucial nutrient for health, participating in such things as blood pressure and blood sugar regulation, heart rhythms, and bone health. Virtually all modern people begin with magnesium deficiency, often profound, that shows as erratic blood sugars and blood pressures, heart rhythm abnormalities, bone thinning (osteoporosis, osteopenia), even sudden cardiac death.

But can the OPPOSITE happen, i.e., magnesium overload or toxicity? It can, but it is unusual and confined to specific situations discussed in this video.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge

 

Here’s a recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge taken from my Wheat Belly Revised & Expanded Edition, a recipe that should snap you out of any boredom while sheltering-at-home.

Minus sugar, grains, and other unmentionables, we turn fudge into a health food! And, because it’s loaded with healthy fats, you will find it exceptionally filling, while not fiddling with blood sugar.

Keep a supply of this decadent dessert handy to satisfy those occasional cravings for chocolate or sweets.

Serves 12

Fudge

1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted

8 ounces unsweetened chocolate

1 cup natural peanut butter, room temperature

4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature

Sweetener equivalent to 1 cup sugar (e.g., 1/4 cup Virtue, 1/3 cup + 1 1/2 tablespoons Truvia)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of sea salt

1/2 cup chopped unsalted dry-roasted peanuts or walnuts

Topping (optional)

1/2 cup natural peanut butter, room temperature

1/2 cup chopped unsalted dry-roasted peanuts

Coat an 8 × 8-inch pan with the melted coconut oil.

To make the fudge:

Place the chocolate in a small microwaveable bowl and microwave for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes in 30-second intervals until just melted. Alternatively, melt the chocolate in a double-boiler setup, as shown in the photo.

 

 

In a separate microwaveable bowl, combine the peanut butter, cream cheese, sweetener, vanilla, and salt. Microwave about 1 minute (alternatively, add these ingredients to the chocolate in the double-boiler set up and heat until all ingredients melted), then stir to thoroughly blend. Stir the peanut butter mixture into the melted chocolate and stir well. If the mix becomes too stiff, microwave another 30 to 40 seconds.

Spread the fudge into the prepared pan and set it aside to cool. If desired, when cooled, spread the fudge with a layer of peanut butter and sprinkle with the chopped peanuts:

What happens to your body when you lose weight

 

 

When you lose weight, where does it go?

You mobilize stored fat as triglycerides that flood the bloodstream. This phenomenon can be seen if someone performs blood tests and identifies a substantial rise in triglycerides and other changes, phenomena that can be confusing, even to doctors.

Understand and recognize what happens during successful weight loss so that a doctor does not try to “treat” this phenomenon.
