Re: kathy smith articles - sugar / pro shakes

[Guest guest]

Cola Pop, the Red Velvet Cake protein powder was just okay.

 I wouldn't rush out to get it, to be honest!   I'd rather have

Optimum Nutrition Triple Rich Chocolate, better macro profile for this too.

 

Lately

've been freezing strawberries, then adding some lowfat almond milk with sugar

free/ fat free jello mix with 2 scoops strawberry powder.  Yum!

 Filling! 

 

PS

I'm late on sending your prezzie - it's done, but I haven't gotten to the post

office yet :/

Wow, that IS interesting. I have never been able to kick my sugar addiction so I know it really is powerful! I think it was Crosby who said he was addicted to cocaine and alcohol and cigs but kicking sugar was the hardest thing of all of those. I believe it!

kathy smith has a few good articles in her newsletter this week.

she is always trying to sell her dvds, books and supplements

though, of course.

http://www.kathysmith.com/category/kathys-corner

the first one concerns sugar addiction, and she writes:

> And, like any addictive drug, it can be insidious. In one

> study, when rats were given a choice of sugar water or

> cocaine, 94% chose sugar water. And, rats that were addicted

> to cocaine quickly switched their preference to sugar.

hmmm... how interesting! do you think that is really true?

she also gives some tips - logging food intake, substitutions

for high sugar foods, doing 10 crunches when you feel the need to

snack needlessly in front of the tv

she also suggests high protein/high fibre, which i totally agree

with, of course.

there is a fruity pro shake calling my name right now i cant

get my stomach to handle increases in the amt of powder though,

so i just use 1 scoop. now that it is summer, i think that i

can drink two shakes a day and see how that goes.

laura, im wondering if you have tried the red velvet pro powder

yet!! im interested in buying some of that if you like it.

darnit!!! it sounded too good to be true!

i like the one that im using alot lately and although i dont mind

mail-ordering special stuff, i can get this one locally which is

great. they only make 3 flavours but the choc and vanilla

taste great (my kids will even drink it mixed in soy or cow milk).

im going to check out the prices and nutrition info on the almond

milk as compared to 1% cow and maybe give it a try.

also it finally occurred to me this morning that i have work to

do for you!!! duh, ive been so busy i have been forgetting

everything, and i hate that!
