Where The Heck Was I?

Good Evening Everyone,


      As many of you know, I was out of the office over the past month for a couple of weeks due to my new son being born.  I'm excited to report that both he and my wife are very healthy!  I appreciate your patience and understanding with any interruption in your care. 

Now lets get back to some pretty interesting stuff!......

      So, I'm sure that you've all heard that you should try to eliminate or reduce refined carbs and replace them with more complex carbs.... But, what's an example of a comlex carb product?  That's the question I get the most when speaking about this topic.  In answering, I'm going to show some pictures of products that I use to provide me with complex carbs.

      First is a different kind of bread called "Ezekial Bread:"    This is bread from 100% sprouted whole grains which makes it free of refined flour (even wheat flour), full of pure protein, and have a much lower glycemic index rating of 36!  So, if you love bread and don't want to remove it from your diet, this product allows for a great option.  This company also makes bagels, english muffins, wraps, raisin bread ect...

*This bread works great to reduce refined carbs during lunch as it works for a great sandwich.

*For breakfast, this company makes a great cereal that has low or zero grams of sugar per serving!  I eat this for breakfast and if you mix it with some fresh berries, it actually tastes quite good.  The cereal, like the bread gives you all of the advantages that I listed above.  see picture below:

*The cinnamon raisin is the only one that will have a bit higher sugar (because of the raisins), but it will still be free of refined carbs.

Try and pick up these two products at either whole foods or wegmans (some shop-rites also carry it).  They will do a great job in replacing two staples in many of your diets, and ultimatedy reduce your intake of sugar & refined carbs.  Result:  Less storage of energy (i.e.  FAT) from what you eat!



Yours in Health,
