Super Secret Surprising Summer Weapons


These things are my (all together surprising) picks for the summer to help keep me on track.

First on my list is ALMONDS (and always COFFEE!).  Supposedly a "natural fat burner" these little crunchy delights are packed with protein and natural fats that are good for curbing your appetite.  I have been eating almonds for breakfast with a piece of fruit and surprisingly I stay full til about lunch time.

Secondly, I have some CHOCOLATE FIBER ONE cereal.  If you like cocoa puffs, you will like this cereal.  At 80 calories for 3/4 cup, I feel best served eating as a dry snack instead of a breakfast meal.  Also, with 9grams of fiber per serving it is a perfect fill you up kind of snack.

Third, I have stolen a trade secret from my parents! They discovered this bread called DIETERS DREAM.  The bread was good, but I found something even better!  BUNS! This brand of bread makes both hamburger buns and hotdog buns.  At only 80 Calories per bun with 0.5 grams of fat and 4 grams of fiber, these buns are unexpectedly delicious.  My husband even ate them and felt like they didn't taste like a "diet bun."  HELLO summer BBQ!

And last but not least on my list is the most surprising of them all is the SUGAR CONE.  1 cone is 60 calories, 1gram of fat, 0 Sodium, 1 gram of Protein, and only 11 carbs.  The posibilities are ENDLESS with these delicious cones.  One night this week I filled the cone part with fruit salad and topped it with 1/4 cup of ice cream.  I actually got the scoop on sugar cones from a Dr. Oz show by the author of Hungry Girl.  She has tons of recipes in this book that will no doubt become our dessert bible this summer.  It is expensive (the most I have ever paid for any book EVER) but I feel as though it will be worth it.
