Breakfast Cereals-2007's Best

!±8± Breakfast Cereals-2007's Best

The most healthful breakfast is whole grain cereal. If you're trying to lose weight, control cholesterol or diabetes, or just need a lot of energy, your best bet is a hot cooked cereal of whole grains, such as oatmeal; or barley, brown rice or wheat berries cooked and served like oatmeal. Flavor it with raisins or other dried fruits, cinnamon, and perhaps a handful of nuts such as pine nuts.

If you prefer cold cereal, you need to check the list of ingredients carefully. The FIRST ingredient should be a whole grain. Then scan through the entire list and if you see the words "partially hydrogenated," put the box back on the shelf. We recommend that you avoid foods with partially hydrogenated oils (or "trans fats"), and they still show up in many cereals (see the list below.)

Once you've eliminated all the brands made with refined grains or partially hydrogenated oils, check for ADDED sugars (you want little or none) and fiber (you want a lot.)

Raisins or other dried fruits will add a lot of grams of sugar to the listing on the nutrition panel; they are not distinguished from added sugars, so you can only estimate the amounts.

The fiber content listed on the nutrition label can be confusing because it's based on serving size, and very light cereals (such as puffed wheat) show little fiber per serving, but an acceptable amount when you adjust for weight. Cereals made from bran (the outer covering removed from whole grains) will have higher fiber content than cereals made from whole grains (which have the germ and starchy parts of the grains as well as the fiber), but they can be hard to digest.

2007 Update:I'm delighted to note that partially hydrogenated oils (trans fats) have been taken out of many cereals. The old list included 56 brands with PHO's; the new list has only 13! Most of the popular General Mills, Post and Quaker cereal brands no longer have them. Kelloggs is the one major cereal maker that has not yet removed them from many of their leading products; hopefully they will respond to consumer pressure soon.

Is it really whole grain? Manufacturers have also responded to the call for more whole grains in our diet, so you will find a lot more choices that meet my recommendation of "whole grains as the first ingredient". However, many that claim to be "whole grain" still include refined grains. You may need to do some detective work to see what you're getting. One-ingredient whole grain cereals (i.e., shredded wheat, puffed wheat, oatmeal) are sure bets. If you see milled corn, corn meal, wheat flour or rice in

Tired Of Your Love Handles Or Muffin Top?

!±8± Tired Of Your Love Handles Or Muffin Top?

The appearance of love handles does not mean that you have been living a jolly life. Rather, they mean that you have not taken the time or effort to take care of yourself. Okay, this is a little harsh, but it is true. Love handles only exist when an excess of fat exists on the inside where it has been building up for years. This type of fat is very unhealthy and quite dangerous; when it gets to the point that it is visible it has gotten way out of hand.

Don't get discouraged; it is not too late. There are many people out there who suffer from such unsightly fat deposits who swear there is nothing that can be done about them that once they are there, they are there for life. But, look around. Is everyone suffering from a muffin top or love handles? Many, yes, but not everyone. There are still many people out there who have that physique that we all dream of. It is these people whom should give you hope.

These people may have good genes, but that is not the only reason they look like a million bucks. People who have that "perfect" body; a good muscle to fat ratio, work on it. Yes, having a sexy physique takes time and energy. But, it does not take hours a day at the gym running on a treadmill and elliptical machines. Instead, you can get the same look with a mere 90 minutes a week; shocking, yes, but true.

This is not one of those "get skinny in a week" schemes; rather this is a plan that will not only change the way you look, but your lifestyle as well. See, that is what it takes to have that fit body, a lifestyle change. You need to start making wise choices when it comes to the food that you consume. Rather than eating a brownie when you have a sweet tooth, choose some yogurt or even a red apple. Instead of eating bowl of Lucky Charms for breakfast, eat a bowl of oats topped with some fruit. Choices; it's all about choices.

But exercise is very important too. Cardiovascular exercise is not the answer life we thought for so many years. Instead, muscle mass is. You do not need a serious amount of muscles to be fit and toned; you just need to tone what your body already has. A simple strength training routine, 20-30 minutes, performed 2-3 times a week will do just that. You don't even have to join a gym, just make sure that you are challenging your muscles; yes, you should feel it - if you don't you need to push harder. We all know that it takes work, it's time to put some of our energy and effort into our bodies and focus on losing those love handles; they will kill you.
