Sugars in Yogurts ! 27 Grams ?

      Crapola, was I surprised to learn this yesterday on Dr. Oz so last night at suppertime when I went grocery shopping, I checked out a couple of yogurts. The store brand had 12 grams of sugar, and a pro biotic kind had 22 grams of Sugar. This guy, Michael Pollan said Yogurt if already sweetened had as much sugar in them as a bottle of soda !
    His suggestion is buy plain yogurt and add what you want, so that will be another change I make. I love yogurt. He also suggested to eat a tablespoon of sauerkraut a day. I am back on balancing food, mixed with exercise, working around the home and making bags.
    Here is a few hits to making shopping easier and it really can be weather you work outside the home or not.

• Shop during supper hours. That helps with standing on lines and traffic
• Make a list and stick to it by meal planning first
• go on line and check out your store isles, where is everything located
• redo your list accordingly-it's worth it. That way there is none of the..oh where is the pasta
• Cut out one typical sweet and replace it with cantaloupe

As important, bring reusable bags-yesterday I was asked this for a first time. For those who have reusable bags, you are entered into a free food give-a -way.

Good luck with your shopping and read those labels for sugars where you least expect it.

Today, I Went NAKED !!!!

     Yes and in public too. YOU may have heard of it and if you try you too may feel what I did. Naked comes in a bottle and is a health drink. I was first introduced to it by my son and at first I wasn't too sure I liked it, so on his next visit I tried it again, and decided, yup, I like it.
     So today I went in and bought a bottle. Don't let the green color turn you away. It looks like grass and spinach together, but has kiwi in it as well as pineapple, apples, banana, and mango. If you really love this, buy your self a juicer, because at three dollars a bottle you'll go broke. A small down side is that after you drink this, in my opinion you need a drink of water, after all it's water that really quenches our thirst. Anything else that has sweeteners only add to the thirst.
     People who love what they drink will say, no it doesn't, because they want to justify paying 3.00 a pop. Speaking of pop/soda, that too only adds to your thirst. So if you can afford 3.00 any time you want to buy a bottle of the rich man's drink, go for it. To be fair and honest, if I want to treat myself once in a while, I'll buy it too. It's that good. By the way, carry water with you, just in case.
