SAMPLE HEALTHY BREAKFAST MEALS

As you know, optimum and sustainable weight loss involves good nutrition, excercise and when necessaey, a boost with a safe and nuatural supplement like SLIM MAGIC.

Let me begin with a sample of what I eat for breakast. They are:

  1. An apple with a low fat yogurt and coffee or black tea or green tea.
  2. A bowl of oat meal with a tbs of nuts and a 3/4 cup of fruits like strawberries
  3. A bowl of chereos or Rasin bran, Kashi heart to heart cereal with nuts or berries and Almond milk ( I have lactose intillorance, you can use 2% or fat free milk).
  4. One slice of 100% whole wheat bread  with one egg and a tbs of peanut butter
  5. An apple with tbs of peanut butter and one the beverages in #1
  6. A smoothie made with Almond milk, yogurt, carrots, apples, bananas or any other fruit of your choice like strawberries during their season. You may also use any healthy natural or organic juice like cranberry juice instead of dairy product.
I was reading my daughters' Seventeen magazine issue of February 2010, and found these samples:

    1.   If on the go, stop by McDonald and pick up a fruit and yogurt parfait an a wheat muffin with jam.
    2.  Starbucks oatmeal with reduced-fat chocolate milk, dried fruits and nuts.

Goodluck and do not leave home without your SLIM MAGIC.

THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF CHROMIUM

As you already know, Chromium is one of the key ingredients in SLIM MAGIC. What is it and what are it’s' health benefits. This information is extracted from the link at the bottom of this article. Please visit that site for an in-depth review of all you ever want to know about chromium. This is just a short summary.


Chromium is trace mineral essential for human nutrition. While food sources include meats, whole grains, cereals, mushrooms, and broccoli, it is difficult to get enough of it from eating. There is no recommended daily allowance. Deficiency can impact the potency of insulin in regulating sugar balance. No side effects have been reported. Due to the low absorption and high excretion rates, toxicity is unlikely. Some of the health benefits are:



• Regulation of blood sugar. Chromium aids insulin metabolism and helps to decrease insulin resistance, thus impacting the amount of medicine a diabetic patient may take. Supplementing with chromium should never be used to treat diabetes. You can ask your doctor if you can supplement with chromium to enhance blood sugar control in addition to your medical therapy. It may not only improve blood sugar control, it may play a role in the development of adult-onset diabetes.

• It may improve symptoms of depression in people with atypical depression or control food craving in depressed patients. If you overeat due to constant craving or crave sleep due to depression, supplementing with chromium can give your mood a boost. Serotonin, a happiness hormone, is decreased in chromium deficient individuals.

• It regulates hunger.

• It reduces cravings.

• It aids weight loss. People that supplement with chromium can boost their fat burning capacity by up to 50%.

• It plays a direct role in carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism.

• It protects your heart.

• Boosts energy by helping the body convert carbohydrates, protein, and fat into energy.
