Okay, at least I have your attention now!

I have been looking for things to eat that are healthy, give me energy and keep my blood sugar on an even keel. I want to continue to lose weight, but I also have to have enough energy to run and rebuild my muscles. I especially like organic products when I can find and afford them. I have to pick and choose though due to the expense.

One thing I found recently that I especially like is Bear Naked Granola. Their products are definitely good eats, as Alton Brown on the Food Network would say. They are also organic, have no refined sugar, no trans fats and no high fructose corn syrup. If you are concerned about such things, their products are also vegetarian friendly and Kosher.

I have also recently started drinking Silk Organic Soy Milk, due to a recommendation from some friends in Philadelphia, PA. It turned out to be very good also and doesn’t upset my stomach. I chose the Vanilla flavor. I combined it with the granola as a morning cereal. I was really surprised at how well it got me through my morning till it was time for my next small snack. That’s another thing I am trying to do, which is to eat smaller snacks/meals all throughout the day, instead of 3 huge meals. There are a couple of reasons why I think that’s a good choice, but I won’t bore you with that.

Anyway, if you like granola, give it a shot. The only downside is the expense and it is hard to find. So, I choose to only eat it every few days. A friend of mine also suggested I try a smaller amount with yogurt. I may try that next week, since it does sound good.

If you live close by, Fresh Market is the only place I know of that carries it. If you live elsewhere, look in the organic section of your grocery or you may have to order it online.

Enjoy!

p.s. This post was worth it just to imagine the look on my mother-in-law’s face when she sees the title of this post! My mother, on the other hand, probably just rolled her eyes and wondered where did I go wrong…
