Default Re: Tips for a Healthy Life Style

Start the day with protein...

Like many others, I did the Atkins diet at various times. Too hard to live without bread. One thing that still helps me is to have a high protein, low carb breakfast bar. Filling, satisfying and holds off lunch hunger pangs much longer.

When I used to have a bagel or cereal for breakfast, I would be hungry again 2 hrs later.

My favorite high protein/low carb bar (and I think I've tried them all) is called "Think Thin" by Think Products. I believe Albertsons or Publix carries them...but, I buy them in bulk from the manufacturer. A single bar might be $2.50...when I buy in bulk they are more like $1.30 each. Lots of different flavors.

Good Luck.
