Alright, listen up you young folks, let me tell you how to make that there pineapple water for losin’ some weight. You know, them fancy folks in the city, they got all their complicated ways, but I’m gonna tell you the easy, country way, just like my grandma taught me. This ain’t rocket science, ya hear?
First off, you gotta get yourself a pineapple. Don’t matter if it’s one of them big fancy ones or a little fella, just make sure it ain’t all mushy and rotten. You want a good, firm pineapple. Now, you can go and buy one of them pre-cut ones, but that’s just wastin’ money if you ask me. Just get a whole pineapple and a good sharp knife.
Cut that Pineapple Up!
Okay, now the fun part. You gotta chop that pineapple up. Don’t worry about makin’ it all pretty and perfect. We ain’t makin’ no fancy fruit salad here. Just chop it up into chunks, you know, like bite-sized pieces. You can use the core too, don’t throw that away! Just cut it up smaller, cause it’s a bit tougher. The skin, well, some folks say you can use that too, but I ain’t never done it, seems kinda dirty to me. But I have heard city folks use it, wash it good though if you gonna use it.
- Wash the pineapple real good.
- Chop it into chunks, big or small, it don’t matter much.
- Don’t throw away the core, just chop it up smaller.
Water Time!
Now, get yourself a big pitcher or a big ol’ jar, whatever you got. Fill it up with water. Cold water is best, you know, makes it nice and refreshing, especially if it’s a hot day. I like to use water from the well, but if you ain’t got a well, tap water is just fine. And I have heard some folks say that spring water is the best. Now ain’t that some fancy stuff.
Mix it all Together
Alright, now dump them pineapple chunks into the water. Yep, just throw ‘em right in there. Give it a good stir, you know, get them pineapples all mixed up with the water. Now, this is where you can get a little fancy if you want. You can add some other stuff to make it taste even better. Some folks like to put in a little bit of mint, like from the garden, gives it a nice fresh taste. Or you can squeeze in some lemon juice, makes it a bit tangy. Ginger is good too, gives it a little kick.
Let it Sit
Okay, here’s the hard part: you gotta wait. You can’t just drink it right away, you gotta let them pineapples soak in the water for a while. I like to let it sit in the icebox for a couple of hours, at least. Some folks say you can even leave it overnight. The longer it sits, the more that pineapple flavor gets into the water, and that’s what you want. This way the water gets nice and tasty.
Strain and Drink!
Alright, after a couple of hours, or overnight if you’re patient, it’s time to drink it! You can strain out the pineapple chunks if you want, or you can just leave ‘em in there, it’s up to you. I like to strain it, makes it easier to drink. Just pour it through a strainer into a glass, and there you have it! Pineapple water!
Why it’s Good for Ya
Now, I ain’t no doctor, but I heard tell that pineapple water is good for losin’ weight. It helps you digest your food better, you know, keeps things movin’. And it’s full of vitamins and stuff, makes you feel good. Plus, it tastes a heck of a lot better than plain ol’ water. And it’s way cheaper than them fancy diet drinks they sell at the store. So there you have it, my simple, country way to make pineapple water for weight loss. It ain’t nothin’ fancy, but it works. You just try it and see for yourself. And I do declare that after a glass of this I always feel less hungry. And it helps keep you regular, if you know what I mean.
A Few More Tips
Here’s a few more things I learned from making this here pineapple water over the years.
- Don’t use too much pineapple, it can make the water too strong.
- If you don’t have fresh pineapple, you can use canned, but fresh is always better.
- You can add a little bit of honey or maple syrup if you want it sweeter, but don’t overdo it.
- Drink it throughout the day, not all at once. It’s better for you that way.
So go on now, try making some of that pineapple water, and see if it don’t help you shed a few pounds and feel a bit better. It’s just plain good sense, and that’s somethin’ you don’t find much of these days.
