"It's All about Health Naturally"
Pat Andersen
For the past 20+ years my motto has always been
“It’s All About Healthy Naturally”
Being in the Holistic Health Profession, I am
always looking for products that will enhance my
life and those I love.
The goal of this book, is to help you on your Weight Management
Journey using the amazing Zija product line. WHY do you feel the
need to lose weight and get healthy? How will it change your life if
you could lose 1# a week which equates to 54#’s a year….or more if
this is what you need… REMEMBER it is all about YOU! Do not judge
yourself by others…. We all lose weight differently.
We have thousands of people who have lost weight naturally on our
system by putting nutrition into their bodies. We have provided you
with a simple guideline to assist you on your 90 Day Challenge along
with your personal journal to record your success. Now start a
Diary…..
In my book I show you what to eat… but write down everything you
do eat so you know what is working and what is not. I like to review
every night what I have wrote…. I might add other notes to it as a
reminder of what I need to do the next day.
I hope you enjoy our recipe suggestions as you become part of our
“Natural Health Revolution”
Thanks to Candace Gish, Tim Pennington and Dr Ben Bowers for their
contributions in helping me put together this book.

Repeat these simple instructions each week!
. ITEMS TO SHY AWAY FROM: • Coffee (use only in moderation) • Over The Counter Drugs (many are non effective and expensive) • Prescription Drugs (only when medically prescribed and as a last resort, read THE
TRUTH ABOUT THE DRUG COMPANIES by Dr. Marcia Angell, MD) • Hydrogenated fats or oils (canola, corn, cottonseed, peanut, soy, they contribute
to heart disease) • Pork (patties, sausages, bacon, rinds, full of nitrites, nitrates, phosphates, fake
colors, sugars, salts, preservatives which are cancer causing and contribute to weigh gain and heart disease – pork may be “the other white meat”, but it’s because you will be sick, or dead, sooner)
• Red Meat (you should limit you intake to less than 8 ounces of grass fed or organic beef with nice marbling and cooked medium to well once per week)
• Deli Meats (a chemistry set of harmful fillers) • Sugary Breakfast Cereals (very costly, little nutrition, and potential allergic
sensitivities) • Granola Bars (full of harmful fats and refined sugars) • Processed Poultry (a typical low cost roasted chicken at the supermarket is
pumped full of salts, water sugars, modified food starches, preservatives, humectants, fake coloring, gelatins, etc., it gets worse from there, when talking about food service tenders/wings/skinned or restaurant poultry)
• The Center Aisles Of Most Grocery & Food Chains (yes, your chances of buying anything healthy or nutritious, loaded with harmful ingredients like High Fructose Corn Syrup, declines by 75%, of items on shelves in the center aisles of a typical supermarket or big box grocer, stay on the corners where the real food is found)
• Fat Free, Low Fat, Skim, and 2% (these are terms to make you think you are doing something good for you body, and it’s just the opposite, where little if any real nutrition is to be found)
• Sliced & Whipped & Shredded (if it looks fake, it probably is, and contains polymer science)
• Margarines & Fake Branded Spreads (can you say ‘semi-edible plastic’?) • Scented Candles & Air Fresheners (chemistry, pure & deadly, for the most part) • Energy Bars (far too many unfortunately are glorified candy bars, it takes some
careful comparison-shopping to find brands that are decent) • Potato Chips & Salted Snacks & Crackers (most sell the 4 most inexpensive &
nutrient deplete ingredients = air, water, salt and HFCS). • Frozen Pizza (mostly harmful ingredients) • Frozen Dinners or Meals or Snacks (typically highly process empty calories at best) • Bottled Salad Dressings & Bagged Salads = (hidden inert gases, aids to processing &
bad for you ingredients in the bagged salads; lots of harmful chemistry in these bottles)
• Instant (translated from the HYPE, meaning void of nutrition) • Microwavable Popcorn (the flavor of cancer causing chemicals, salt and coloring
combined with molecular manipulation of kernels and hot air) • Bottom Fish Or Shell Fish (can be loaded with harmful lead, mercury or other heavy
metals, and/or high levels of iodine) • Most Yogurts (not healthy) • White Sliced Bread (empty calories, refined carbohydrates) • Canned Fruit (load with harmful sweeteners and void of nutrients) • Monosodium Glutamate (MSG is harmful, period) • Skin Blocks (stops absorption of Vitamin D-3 from the sun)
Suggested Meal Planning
Mix your Moringa drink night before in at least 18oz of water....
Drink 4 oz at a time till completed.... If you want to drink 2 a day
then make second first thing in the morning and leave in refrigerator.

Breakfast Recipes
I am very big on eating cooked Oatmeal for
breakfast. It is filling and has nutrients that are
good for the heart. One way to cook it is in a
slow cooker, or make a big pot on the stove
and enough to eat during the week. Store it in
a sealed container and take out what you need
in the morning and heat up on the stove with
your choice of milk & fruit.
Ingredients 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cups steel-cut oats
8 cups water
½ cup raisins (you could use more but that is all I had left)
(or add things like chopped apples, pumpkin, dried fruits, nuts etc…..use your imagination)
½ cup packed dark organic brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or 1 drop of Ameo Essential Oil
1 teaspoon sea salt or pink salt
Instructions 1. Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the oats, stir and coat with the
butter, and toast over medium heat until lightly brown. You will start to smell their nuttiness. This only takes about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.
2. Mix oats & the rest of the ingredients into the slow cooker. Cook on low for 4-6 hrs.
Losing weight—and keeping the pounds off—isn't a quick or easy process, but a few
simple diet tricks can be a big help along the way. Our favorites? Eating lots of protein,
fiber, and healthy carbs, which boost your metabolism and keep you feeling full all day
long.
Broccoli & Feta Omelet with Toast
This easy breakfast recipe, which takes just 15 minutes start to finish, packs a one-two punch that will leave you feeling satisfied yet energized.
The broccoli provides filling fiber (and just 30 calories per serving), while the protein-loaded eggs curb appetite and will help stave off those late-morning cravings.
Ingredients Cooking spray
1 cup chopped broccoli
2 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon dried dill
2 slices rye bread, toasted
Preparation
1. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat
pan with cooking spray. Add broccoli, and cook 3
minutes.
2. Combine egg, feta, and dill in a small bowl. Add egg mixture to pan. Cook 3 to 4
minutes; flip omelet and cook 2 minutes or until cooked through. Serve with toast.
Egg and Toast Cups
Ingredients
6 (3/4-ounce) slices whole-wheat bread or gluten free
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 ounce shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese (about 1/4 cup)
1/4 cup finely chopped tomato
6 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled or turkey bacon
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Flatten each bread slice with a rolling pin until very
thin. Trim crusts off bread. Lightly brush both sides of bread slices with melted butter. Cut
each bread slice in half diagonally.
3. With cut sides facing, place 2 bread halves in each of 6 muffin cups, making sure to
cover bottom entirely and allowing bread corners to extend above rims. Bake at 375° for 5
minutes or until bread is slightly firm. Remove pan from oven; sprinkle 2 teaspoons
shredded cheese into each cup. Top each cup with 2 teaspoons chopped tomato. Crack 1
egg into each cup; sprinkle eggs evenly with salt and pepper. Bake an additional 18
minutes or until whites are set and yolks are still a bit runny or to desired degree of
doneness. Remove egg cups from pan; sprinkle evenly with bacon and chives, if desired.
Only 170 calories per serving and the easiest cleanup ever!
Lunch Recipes
Zucchini Fritters
I love these Zucchini Fritters. They are a version of vegetarian kofta, a favorite Indian
snack, but instead of deep-frying them, I cook them like pancakes on a hot, oiled griddle.
They are low carb, gluten-free and delicious. At home we eat them as summer substitute
for potato pancakes or hash browns. They are great topped with poached eggs or as a side
dish for fish or chicken. If your palate needs some zip, spice them up with the jalapeño
Ingredients
1 cup of garbanzo flour or rice flour etc
½ teaspoon baking powder
Salt, to taste
½ -¾ cups water
1 to 2 medium zucchini, grated
1 medium shallot, minced
1 small jalapeño, minced (optional)
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, dry toasted
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro or mint
1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil
Preparation
1. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl. Make a well in the
center. Gradually add in the water and whisk it in to form a smooth batter. Let batter sit
for 10 minutes.
2. To the batter, add the shallots, cumin, and the zucchini. Add the chopped herbs and
jalapeno if using. Mix well to coat the veggies thoroughly in the batter. Using a spoon,
form into patties and set aside on a plate.
3. Heat griddle over a medium high flame. Add 1 teaspoon of the oil and rub it over the
griddle with some paper towels. Add the patties to the griddle without crowding,
flattening them with the back of the spatula as you go. Cook until browned on one side,
then flip and repeat. Set aside and keep warm while you cook the remaining patties. Re-
grease the skillet and continue cooking the rest. Serve immediately.

I love Mason Jars... So here's a tip... On Sunday prepare a few Mason Jar Salads and keep
in frig till you need them that week... No excuse anymore... Depending on what protein
you’re using determines how long they'll keep? I only prefer to go 1-3 days when I’m
using something like grilled chicken. The fun part comes when you’re ready to eat
because you get to shake the jar to distribute the dressing. I don’t know why, but this is
my favorite part! Once shaken, pour the salad into a big plate or bowl and enjoy. If for
some reason you find yourself without a serving dish you can eat the salad straight from
the jar, but unless you have an extra-long fork, it’s kind of difficult. I speak from
experience. haha
Strawberry Spinach Mason Jar Salad with Citrus Poppy Seed Dressing

6 Tablespoons citrus poppy seed dressing
¼ cup red onion slices

½ teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon poppy seeds
1 ½ Tablespoons olive oil
Preparation
Make dressing by whisking together all ingredients. Recipe will make a little less than ¾
cup of dressing.
Take two wide-mouth 32 oz mason jars and layer salad ingredients. Start with 3
Tablespoons of dressing in each jar, divide remaining salad ingredients in half and start
layering in this order: onions, cucumbers, strawberries, asparagus, chicken, avocado,
spinach and almonds.
When ready to serve, shake each jar and pour into a bowl.

Belly Fat Recipes..... With steamed veggies or a salad
Lemon-Walnut Chicken
Ingredients
2 tablespoons very finely chopped parsley*
2 tablespoons very finely chopped
toasted walnuts*
1/4 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest or
3 drops of Ameo Oil
4 medium skinless, boneless chicken
breast halves, pounded to 1/2-inch
thickness
2 teaspoons all-purpose organic flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper or a drop of
Essential oil
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons diced shallots
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving
1 1/4 cups brown basmati rice, steamed
Preparation
1. In a small bowl, mix together the parsley, walnuts, and lemon zest. Dust the chicken
with the flour and season with the salt and black pepper.
2. In a very large skillet (or two medium-large skillets), heat the olive oil over medium
heat. Add the shallots and saute until they begin to turn translucent, 1 minute. Push the
shallots to one side of the pan, add the chicken breasts, and cook until golden, about 2
minutes per side.
3. Pour the chicken broth and lemon juice into the pan. Cover, and let simmer over low
heat until the juices run clear when the chicken is pierced, 3 to 4 more minutes.

the parsley mixture. Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve over the rice with the
lemon wedges.
Soups | Detox Recipes
OK here we go....Detox Cleansing Soup to start our journey properly...we need to do this if
we want to start losing some weight after all we ate at Christmas..lol
Lemon: Lemon is everything. If you have been reading my blog for a while, then you may have noticed that I drink 32 ounces of warm water with the fresh juice from 1/2 of a lemon every day, before anything else. I cannot skip this step! It makes me feel normal and wakes up my digestive system. Lemon has amazing cleansing properties and provides a burst of Vitamin C while supporting the detoxification process. Adding lemon juice to your soup will help to keep your immune system strong while bringing lightness and flavor. Ginger: Fresh ginger is so essential. So healing. So digestion-friendly. With it’s natural cold fighting properties, you can battle off congestion, flu and nausea while boosting your immunity. Not only do I add ginger to all the soups I prepare, but I add a huge chunk to our daily green juice, in salad dressings and in hot tea. Turmeric: This is a spice that I’ve grown to love due to its skin-loving properties (aids in a healthy glow), antiseptic, anti bacterial and anti inflammatory wonders. It comes from a root similar to ginger, is high in antioxidants and adds a beautiful bright golden color to any dish. Cinnamon: So wonderful in this cleansing soup! It’s important to purchase saigon cinnamon, which I easily found at our local grocery store. Not all cinnamon is the same, which I recently found out. Saigon cinnamon (vs. regular cinnamon) has a distinct flavor, boldly delicious scent and aids in balancing blood sugar levels while stimulating digestion. Add extra cinnamon to your smoothie, oatmeal, granola, baked goods and even soup. Cayenne Pepper: I add the tiniest bit of cayenne to many dishes. While it’s optional, I really love the dose of flavor from cayenne because I don’t have to add as much salt when there is enough spiciness. Not a ton of spiciness, just enough for flavor. Cayenne is known to rev up your metabolism and helps with congestion. Goodbye stuffy nose!
Since this Cleansing Detox Soup doesn’t have noodles, beans or legumes of any sort, it’s
easily digestible for everyone due to the soft vegetables, but if you want to add extra
plant protein like tofu, lentils, chickpeas or noodles, feel free. You will adore this cure-all
soup! I keep coming back to it because it makes me feel warm, wholesome and healthy.
Remember we can use our Ameo Essential Oils everyday also....
