To Snack or Not to Snack...That is not the Question.

The question should be: What to snack on?

So you go into your local grocery store to find healthy on-the-go snacks for your kids or yourself.  I mean, between work, ball practice, ball games, homework, and running errands, who has time to think?  You go down the aisles and come across granola bars.  Yes, the granola is great for you and won't ruin your diet or the pounds you so eagerly lost, but the added sugar, chocolate, and other junk will.  And, how is eating sugar and chocolate good for your kid's active lifestyle?

Metabolic Research Center recognized this and developed it's own line of healthy "cheats" for the busy mom and family. There are varieties to suit everyone's tastes and packed full of fiber, protein, and hormone balancing supplements so you do not feel guilty indulging in one of these tasty bars, and you are SuperMom for sending them with your kids. Here's information from MRC's website at http://www.weightlossmrc.com/bars-and-snacks/high-nutrition-bars-assortment-pack .

 
High Nutrition Bars - Assortment Pack (7 Bars)
This variety pack of high quality protein bars contains one each of our most popular flavors - Caramel Brownie, Caramel Crunch, Chocolate Marshmallow, Caramel Nut, Oatmeal, Peanut Butter, and Rocky Road.

If there’s one place in your entire daily routine that can (and usually does) ruin your dietary goals, snacking is it.  Snacks are synonymous with ‘sabotage’, when trying to stay with a routine that melts the pounds away - and they’re everywhere.  They usually have little or no protein, little or no fiber, and can be so loaded with sugar that several days’ weight loss efforts can be ruined with a single cheat.

What happens is that the caloric intake of what started out as “well, maybe just one”, can explode into a big number.  It’s not really just the calories (which we all need for energy); it’s that most snacks contain calories that are very rapidly released into the bloodstream.  That sets off an equally rapid release of insulin (often too rapid), lowering our blood sugar too far.  That can quickly increase the appetite, which then can set off a ‘snacking frenzy’ of a truly frightening number of calories.

Well, fear not, ‘cause we got you covered.
