Big G Whole Grain Cereal Review And ~~Giveaway~~

Ninety-five percent of Americans do not get enough whole grain, according to the Report of the 2010 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee. In fact, the average person gets a little more than half a serving of whole grain each day. That’s significantly less than the three servings recommended daily.

Every Big G cereal contains at least 8 grams of whole grain per serving, with more than 20 Big G cereals delivering 16 grams or more. (At least 48 grams of whole grain are recommended daily.) A diet high in whole grain has been found to help with diabetes and weight management, and may help reduce the risk of heart disease and certain cancers.

Weight management is more than just watching calories – it's also important to ensure you're getting enough of the good stuff. Big G cereals are made with whole grain and are nutrient-dense to help you start your day off right with brands you love, including Cheerios®, Lucky Charms®, Cinnamon Toast Crunch®, Honey Nut Cheerios®, Fiber One® and Total®. Just look for the white check on the front of the box!

Frequent cereal eaters tend to have healthier body weights (and that includes people who choose sweetened cereals).Cereal eaters consume less fat, less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters. Cereal consumption as part of an overall healthy lifestyle may play a role in maintaining a healthy body mass index.

According to “The Belly Fat Prescription,” by Dr. Travis Stork, MD and host of The Doctors, a large amount of research has shown that belly fat carries more health risks than fat stored elsewhere. In his book, Dr. Stork also offers several additional “Laws of Leanness,” including:

If you love to graze: Nosh all day long on your favorite fruits and vegetables to help keep your belly full

If you love fatty foods: discover which fats can actually strip away pounds

If you love soda: substitute more delicious drinks that can help you lose up to four pounds in four weeks.

Ben and I are trying to eat healthier, not just for our own sakes but for the kids.

When I was given a chance to get a box of Multi Grain Cheerios, and get to read Dr.Storks new book, I was very excited.

I love to watch The Dr's, and Dr Stork is my favorite!! (Oh and he's cute!!)

Dr. Travis Stork, cohost of The Doctors, cares about the state of your abdomen. Why? Because when he’s not on TV, he works in the E.R. at Vanderbilt Medical Center. And his years of training and experience have told him that the one of the very first vital signs to check—one of the most important determining factors in whether a patient will recover from illness and injury, or face a future of disease, pain, and disability—is how much belly fat they’re carrying. In fact, visceral fat—the kind that clings to your waistline and infiltrates your internal organs—is not only unsightly, it also sets you up for a host of health woes, including diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

So fighting belly fat is the same thing as fighting for your life!

But now, Dr. Travis, America’s top urgent-care doctor, has written the ultimate prescription for curing dangerous belly fat. His revolutionary PICK 3 TO LEAN plan lets you customize your diet and lifestyle to start melting away belly fat, without giving up your favorite foods, without spending hours in the gym, without really sacrificing anything—except belly fat! If you love snacking, if you love desserts, if you love burgers and steaks, if you love big, hearty breakfasts, there’s a plan in here for you. With tiny tweaks to the foods you already love and enjoy, you’ll begin to see the pounds disappear in just days!

Plus, Dr. Travis explains the magic of N.E.A.T.: non-exercise activity thermogenesis, a fancy way of saying “burn more calories without exercising!” You pick the lifestyle you’re most comfortable with. You decide which foods you want to eat. You choose what fun activities you want to enjoy. With The Lean Belly Prescription, you will have a plan custom-designed by you—with the help of Dr. Travis—that’s scientifically proven to strip away up to 15 pounds in just 4 weeks.

With The Belly Fat Prescription, you’ll find yourself eating more the foods you love, spending more time doing the things you love, and having more fun with the people you love. Dr. Travis will teach you how to do that because the Belly Fat Prescription is a whole-life plan, taking in variables other diets don’t consider, and offering weight-loss opportunities you didn’t know you had. The result: a prescription plan you’ll love, and stay on for the rest of your life because of how it makes you feel.
