LA Weight Loss Bars

The widespread popularity of the LA Lite Bars according to LA Rapid Results Diet System is due to the taste. With eight flavors to choose from and as a permanent fixture of the LA Rapid Results Diet System you may be in a great situation to receive both healthy and tasty treats throughout your diet plan.

The bars are designed to serve as snacks between meals. Two bars a day can satisfy your cravings and control your hunger by helping you to feel full and satisfied. Bars may be purchased individually, entire box with a single flavor or in mix and match group package. Each box contains seven bars and is highly recommended to be supplemented with the LA Rapid Diet System for maximum results.

Features

Bars are a mixture of tastes and textures including salty, sweet, and crunchy which are all things that dieters tend to crave. Flavors consist of chocolate mint, chocolate crunch, and peanut butter. The taste resembles that of a candy bar more than an actual nutrition bar. They come individually prepackaged making it ideal an ideal snack for on the go eaters.

Benefits

Bars contain between 150 to 200 calories which isn’t too bad for a snack. As previously stated, snacks are good for dieters because they help manage cravings which will ultimately lead to more controlled eating habits. Aside from the low number of calories per serving, LA Lite Bars contain 8 grams of protein and 4 grams of fat, both of which take a while to process and digest in your stomach and can really help to control your cravings and curb your appetite.

Drawbacks

Although low in calories, there isn’t a great deal more in these bars in terms of nutrition. Carbohydrate watchers you may want to stand clear as you can expect to receive close to 29 grams per serving. Bars are also weak in the fiber area and contain less than one gram which isn’t good for dieters. Last and probably the most significant is the amount of sugar found in these bars. A single LA Bite Bar contains 18 grams of sugar which is only slightly behind a Hersey bar with almonds bar which has 19 grams of sugar.

Availability

LA Weight Loss Bars can be purchased online which in recent years has become the latest trend and at LA Weight Loss Centers located throughout the United States and Canada.

Caution

If nutrition is your top goal, there are other better options available on the market. If you are someone who is looking for a low calories sweet snack then this bar is for you. Also, be clear in understanding that in order to purchase most of these bars you must own a membership to a LA Weight Loss Center.

Conclusions

Overall the LA Weight Loss program has been cited as a successful system that has worked for many people and seems to keep existing customers around. However, as successful as the plan is, the LA Weight Loss Bars can be somewhat of an interesting aspect of the plan due to its complexity. As with anything, there are two sides to every story and the bar are no different. Consistent users can expect to consume a low-calorie snack packed with almost as much sugar as a candy bar. At the same, snack bars will curb your appetite and make you feel full. It’s a balance of two evils I suppose. It all depends on your personal preference and needs. Read the rest of this entry »

Raw Food and Kale – How To Make It Good!

Raw food diets can take some getting used to. And as amazing as they can be for your body, they can be tough on the taste buds!

One of the most important parts of eating raw and/or vegetarian, vegan, or any diet for that matter, is getting enough nutrients.

And Kale is one super food that knows how to deliver. But boy can it be tough to eat raw if you don’t prepare it right! I remember a time when raw kale made me nauseas. Over time I fought my way through to the other side, but boy do I wish I knew a few things back then that I know now.

Kale has the highest ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity – a fancy way of saying anti-oxidant) of all foods and delivers a whole host of nutrients too long to list but that your body knows by heart.

Many people find raw kale too bitter, too tough, or just down right gross. But it doesn’t have to be if you know how to buy it and prep it. Now sure the nutrients are important. But another important factor is making sure you don’t go crazy on a diet like this! The last thing you want is to feel deprived or dread eating. So how do you make this incredible power food taste good? Here’s a method that we use at Chakra 4 to make incredible salads.

First of all, go for lacinto kale. It’s the least tough and the least bitter. For years I choked down red kale without knowing any better. Yikes. I wish I found Chakra 4 sooner.

Second, create a really nice dressing out of some lemon juice and olive oil. You can play with the proportions but usually a 50/50 ratio of acid to oil is a good starting point.

Third, separate the kale leaves from the stems and cut the leaves to a size and consistency that you like. Cutting or tearing them into long strips is usually how I make it.

Fourth, mix the oil in with the kale with your hands, and massage the kale. Be firm with it, but don’t totally squish it to death.

The massaging helps to break down some of the toughness, and the oil and lemon juice help while infusing it with a more palatable flavor. Read the rest of this entry »
