50/90 of the Mission 'YOUR 2011 Christmas Six-Pack'
Sugars
With the weather cooling down, we are naturally more drawn to sugary foods for comfort and quick energy. Which, is most cases, is not so smart. In addition to causing weight gain, refined flours and sugars can suppress immune-system function. Ie. with flus and colds being more frequent in the air, indulging in more white sugar (cookies, pop, candy, etc.), you're creating the perfect environment for illness to strike.
Turn to naturally occurring sugars found in fruit for some sweetness. If you crave chocolate, go for dark chocolate(minimum 70 per cent cocoa), which contains plant phenols that have been shown to lower blood pressure. Cut up squares and store them in your freezer. Grab one or two when you need a sweet treat.
Even better, try TRUELean Extreme, the Multi Vitamin & Mineral formula, that also supports weight & fat-loss, controls cravings, supports metabolism, so you are *armed* in the face of all temptations-with an edge :)
