There is only one thing I like more than chocolate and that’s ice cream. So, combine the two in a diet-friendly treat and I’m a happy girl.
I have been keeping Breyers Double Churn Light Ice Cream on-hand for years now. It contains 3.5 grams of fat, 100 calories, and a gram of fiber per serving. I had always avoided the fat-free version, up until now however, thanks to more than a few bad fat-free ice cream experiences in the 90′s.
Well, fast forward to today and I am pleased to report that the fat-free version of this brand is quite different than those! It is creamy, flavorful and the texture is nice. (My friend April also taste-tested it with me and she said it seemed just a little “gummy” to her, but I did not notice this.)
Unlike regular ice cream, which provides 4.5 grams of saturated fat per serving, this type has no saturated fat.
Finding balance is something we all strive for every day – balancing work, family, travel and social obligations sometimes seems impossible, especially with ever-shifting responsibilities and time constraints. Finding balance with exercise and healthy eating can also be a problem, something that struck me when I read a recent comment by one of our readers. She said, “…I have become this health fanatic that watches and worries about every little bit of nutritional info on food, vitamins, etc. I know its better for me healthwise to pay attention, but I really liked it (and myself) so much better when I just didn’t care what I ate!”
I think we’ve all been there to some degree or another and part of the learning process sometimes involves going to extremes before finding a middle ground.
Dieting can be a struggle for even the most disciplined. Going against your cravings, turning down tasty desserts, and making wise restaurant choices is difficult for even those of us who give advice about it. And although recent studies show that caloric restriction has wide-ranging health benefits and may offer protection against age-related disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease*, feeling hunger pains can make it a Herculean task. Anyone that was sent to bed as a child without dinner can attest to how uncomfortable falling asleep can be when your stomach is empty. Thanks a lot, Mom.
We’re all well aware that in order to lose weight, you need to burn more calories in a day than you consume. And
Acai Balance is a formula that claims to help you to lose weight and feel great. They claim to flush away toxins, cleanse your body, flatten your tummy, repair free radical damage, increase energy, fight fatigue, and even burn fat. They claim that Acai Balance is the ultimate way to improve your heart health and otherwise achieve benefits you may not have imagined with anything previous to this.
So how does Acai Balance work? Well obviously, they want to base it on the idea of using acai. After all, as a superfruit, they would have you believe that it has the power to change your life and give you everything that you need. However, of course, many have found things to be different when it comes right down to it. After all, acai doesn’t actually cleanse the body, nor does it actually promote weight loss or fat burning. It does have antioxidants, which can ideally speaking kill off free radicals giving you glowing skin and otherwise. However, in terms of actually promoting the results they talk about, it doesn’t have that particular effect. And despit
