Have you tried the fairly new Kelloggs Special K Protein+ Cereal yet? It comes with 10g of protein, 9g net carbs, and 5g of fiber. This is a great addition to my fiber35 diet. The best thing - eat it as a snack without milk. I am always taking some with me to the office and snack from it during the day. It's sweet and tastes great. It is crunchy (yummy) and actually helps me to stop thinking about my next meal. I enjoy with a cold glas of Orange Juice. Makes a great snack for us fiber dieters.
I have been fairly busy and are lacking a lot of updates. It seems like my body is exchanging fat weight against muscle weight in a 1:1 ratio. I feel that the fat is disappearing in certain areas, but I am not losing weight. As I am working out several times a week it leaves only one option and that is muscle is replacing the weight loss. I am now at a point where I can run 3 miles in less than 30 minutes pretty consistently. I combine my workout out of running, rowing and a little weights for some nicely toned arms.
According to recent studies done on shopping carts in supermarket, more than 60 percent of the shopping carts tested are harboring coli form bacteria (that is that sort more often associated with public toilet seats). “These bacteria may be coming from raw foods or from children who sit in the carts,” says Chuck Gerba, Ph.D., a microbiologist at University of Arizona. “Just think about the fact that a few minutes ago, some kid’s bottom was where you are now putting your broccoli.”
According to studies done by Gerba and his colleagues at the University of Arizona, shopping carts had more bacteria than other surfaces they tested. This includes (but is not limited to) escalators, public pay phones and public restrooms. To avoid picking up nasty bacteria, Gerba recommends using sanitizing wipes to clean off cart handles and seats, and to wash your hands after you finish shopping. Many supermarkets are addressing part of the problem by having sanitizing wipes strategically located near the shopping cart storage.
What else can consumers do to protect them self? Do not use the baby/child seat in a shopping cart to store items that will not be cleaned before being consumed. Use a sanitizing wipe to clean boxes and packages that go into the refrigerator.
