This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen...

It seems to me that it is common knowledge that if you eat a small snack and drink a bottle of water, you will not be as hungry at the next meal.

So what is all the hype about the "Full Bar"? 30 minutes before lunch and dinner, Full Bar users are encouraged to consume one bar, along with 16 oz of water. The results are compared to having weight loss surgery...at the next meal, the consumer will be less hungry and will be satisfied with a much smaller portion.

The original Full Bars range from 150-180 calories each.

Why would anyone spend money on this product? The nutritional values do not seem much different from any other super market bars, high in fiber and/or protein. In fact, they contain more calories than many less expensive alternatives.

Drinking water alone will cause you to eat less, because we often think we are hungry when we are simply dehydrated. If you must eat before a meal, why not eat an apple, containing just as much fiber (which will fill you up) and only 100 calories?

Bottom line, any time you wait for hunger pains to strike before you eat a meal, you will most likely eat more. Eat every few hours and drink plenty of water. Your body will be hydrated, your metobilism will stay revved up, and you will eat less at your next sit-down meal.

Oooh, Aaaah

Happy Fourth of July weekend!

Time to relax, enjoy a fireworks spectacular, spend time with family, and grill up something healthy and delicious.

Tonight for dinner my family made chicken & veggie kabobs. It was a combined effort; mom and I assembled the kabobs and dad did the grilling.

Wanna try this delicious (and guiltless) flavor explosion for youself?

Kaboom! Kabobs

All you need is chicken and a variety of veggies. I recommend sweet red bell pepper, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, and red onion. Chop 'em up, place them on a skewer, and grill away!

Happy Fourth of July!
