Tis The Season For Portion Control and Stevia
Portland, OR (PRWEB) December 19, 2008
Tis the season where sweets and treats are abundant, tempting and in your face at the office, home, friends and just about everywhere. We are hit with a slew of temptations from now until the New Year making it harder to stick with exercise and diet. Family gatherings and holiday travel make it sometimes difficult to continue on your fitness journey. The holidays revolve around good, rich and tasty foods which you want to and should partake in especially if you have been exercising and eating right diligently for the rest of the year. The key is portion control on the rich and sweet foods. Take into consideration the fact that it is not just one meal you will be attending that will include these foods so portion control is even more important.
It is easier to control a meal if you are the one hosting, making choices to use healthier alternatives which everyone will enjoy. This is a great way to give your guests some tips so they can use them for their own entertaining. Whipping up tasty treats for family and friends is a nice gesture but sharing nutritious meal tips can help your guests maintain a healthier lifestyle.
Food choices that are lower in sugar and fat can sometimes actually taste better than the original item. Using non fat plain yogurt in place of sour cream and mayonnaise can lower the fat of items such as coleslaw and other cold salads. Even egg and tuna salad is delicious done this way. You can also use lemons, grainy mustard and yogurt for a simple yet tasty, creamy salad dressing.
This holiday season, rather than serving sugary drinks and punches use all natural Fructevia, Steviva Brand Stevia Blend and Steviva Brand Stevia Powder. You don't need to cut out sweets completely, just cut down on them and savor it with a small portion.
When being a guest, make sure to select the most nutritious items offered. Find a few of treats you like but take smaller portions so that you can enjoy more than one. Don 't go overboard, this way you can sample some more at your next outing and still stay inline with your calorie intake. If there is one item in particular you like best, forego all other sweets, then get a nice serving of that which you love the most and enjoy it.
Whichever course you elect to take, remember to have a great time and exercise moderation. Portion control will be your friend that helps you make it through the holiday season with out the gift of weight gain.
Low Carb Sugar Free Spiced Cocoa
Serves: 4
Carbs Per Serving: 14.5 g
Prep Time:
Nothing defines the holiday season like a nice cup on hot chocolate or as my family called it cocoa. A lot of people don't realize the amazing health benefits of cocoa. A recent study has found that cocoa is rich in powerful antioxidants. Antioxidants can protect you against a range of diseases and reduce the effects of aging. Further studies suggests cocoa may be richer in antioxidants than drinks like tea and red wine.
Conventional hot chocolate is loaded with sugar. Here is an amazing cocoa recipe that is low in carbs and sugars yet is really delicious. I have this almost every morning during the winter months. You have to try it, seriously.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup Steviva Brand Stevia Blend, Fructevia or 1/16 tsp of Steviva Brand Stevia Powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup hot water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation:
In a saucepan, combine cocoa, Steviva Brand Stevia Blend, Fructevia or Steviva Brand Stevia Powder, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and salt. Blend in hot water. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil, stirring for 2 minutes. Add milk; stir and heat thoroughly, but do not boil. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Beat until foamy. Serve hot with cinnamon sticks, if desired.

Finding the Right Corporate Gift or Sales Team Incentive Award
Rockland, ME (PRWEB) October 17, 2006
Corporate gift-giving is often challenging and frustrating, primarily because the wrong gift can cause more damage than good.
"Shopping for a corporate gift for a boss, manager, secretary, or company executive has always been stressful for the poor person who gets that assignment. Find the right gift and you make a great impression, but the wrong gift can destroy everything you are trying to accomplish," explained Spen Carney, founder of GreatStuffAndThenSome.com.
Carney knows how important it is to find a gift that leaves a great impression with the recipient. He created http://www.GreatStuffAndThenSome.com to make the process simple, inexpensive, convenient, and stress-free.
Finding the right sales incentive or reward carries with it the same challenges. The right incentive can motivate an entire sales team to new levels of accomplishment, but the wrong gift can actually turn them off, according to Carney.
"The right sales incentive can be worth it's weight in gold. If it is something each member of the team values and desires, then the competition to get the gift will be spirited and new sales levels will be achieved. One person will win, but all the team members will achieve higher sales goals," he said.
The company offers gift baskets uniquely designed for every possible event and occasion. The selection and variety are very attractive and creative. The company also carries a full assortment of other unique gifts as well.
The site is well designed, and user friendly. It is easy to shop because the many types of gifts are easily viewed, and each photo has a written description. There is such a wide variety of choices that shoppers can find a gift in any price range and for anyone on their shopping list.
The company offers more than just gift baskets, as the name implies. "Then Some" includes such items as prepared meals, Omaha steaks, Green Mountain coffee, Hickory Farms,, salmon, desserts, breakfast foods, appetizers and hors d' oeuvres, kosher gifts and foods, low carb food, flowers and plants, candy and chocolate, soups, baked goods, cheese, Maine lobster and clams, scallops, and caviar.
"GreatStuffAndThenSome offers gifts for busy people who want quality, convenience of shopping on the Internet, and savings. Our customers save both time and money by leaving the car in the driveway and shopping with their mouse instead of using gas to run all over town," said Carney.
About GreatStuffAndThenSome.com
Spen Carney created the online gift company GreatStuffAndThenSome.com to bring convenience and cost savings to shoppers. The company offers a full range of gift baskets and other gifts for all occasions and at all price levels. Gifts are shipped directly to the recipient as part of the personalized service.

Snack Ideas For Low-Carb Diet Plans
Anyone who has ever been on a diet knows that planning is one of the major keys to success in the short term and in the long term. If you are constantly finding yourself without the proper foods available, your hunger will take over your brain and you will make very bad decisions.
However, low carb diet plans have a lot of options available that make for quick snacks in a pinch. Here are some ideas to get you started:
* Celery with peanut butter: You may even want to substitute peanut butter for almond butter or chicken salad.
* Eggs: Hard boiled, scrambled or fried eggs make for a quick protein boost.
* Pickles
* String cheese: These are a great snack to have with you on the road as they are individually packaged and filling.
* Fruit with cottage cheese
* Raw nuts: Almonds and walnuts are great to have with you in a pinch, but do not overeat them. Separate small servings into zipper bags and keep a bag with you at all times.
* Sugar Free Jello: This gives you that sweet taste without all of the carbs and calories
* Lunch mean roll-ups: Take lunch meat and roll cheese and veggies into it
* Cheese with apple slices: This is a tasty combo and will keep your blood sugar levels stable
* Raw veggies with snack dip or plain yogurt
* Lettuce roll-ups with lunch meat and veggies
* Low carb shakes: You can buy pre-made shake mix at the store and keep it with you for a quick fix
As you can see, there are many options for snacks when you are looking at a low carb diet. You just need to make planning a big part of how you do things, and success will be yours!

Low Carb Snacks That Kids And Adults Will Love
It's the highlight of any school day - recess. This is applicable to any grade-schooler. But as parents, we pretty much have to put healthy and low-carb snacks in our children's lunch boxes. Bear in mind that when a kid gains weight at such a young age, he will have a difficult time shedding the excess pounds when he gets older.
Cakes, candied cereals, ice cream, flavored popcorn, cookies, candies, muffins and all kinds of pastries may seem so appealing. I bet your mouth is watering simply by reading that passage. Sure these are low in fat, but take note, these are relatively high in calories.
But there is a way for us to satisfy our sweet tooth craving the Low Carb Way. First of all, you must have the control to not reach in for the chips and crackers in between meals, or else you're engaging in a low-carb diet will turn out to be completely pointless.
A low carb snack must ideally have healthy fat, protein and fiber. If you are having eggs or jerky, you might as well have vegetables with it.
Here's a rundown of low-carb snacks you can consider munching on:
- Celery with tuna salad
- Celery with peanut butter
- Hard boiled eggs
- Pickles and cheddar cheese
- Berries and cottage cheese
- Nuts. Best serve when kept in freezer.
- Sunflower seeds
- Pumpkin seeds
- Jerky like turkey or beef. Find the low-sugar variety
- Shakes. Make sure it's low carb though
- Cheese sticks
- Sugar free jello
- Apple slices
- Sugar free yogurt flavored with berries
- Lettuce roll ups on luncheon meat, tuna, or egg salad
- Lettuce dipped in bean dip, spinach dip or other low carb dip
- Ricotta cheese with nuts, fruit or seeds
- Mushroom and cheese spread
- Low carb snack bars
Take note though that just because these are low-carbohydrate, these snacks are healthy. It may be popular and has already dominated the snack food companies and market but as a consumer, you must still be careful when choosing the low-carb snacks you will provide yourself and your family.
First off, low carb snack bars. There are tons of snack bars to choose from in the grocery. Not all of them provide good nutrition. Some low carb snack bars are there to maintain phases of low carb diets because they still contain calories. The sugar they have contain alcohol. Alcohol sugars in low carb snack bars will be difficult to digest and result to gas.
If you choose to settle for low-carb cookie mixes, then the best we can recommend are the low-carb chocolate chip cookies mix and the low-carb peanut butter cookies mix. Simply because, peanut butter is already an example of low-carb snack and chocolate chip cookies' sugar content is balanced out with the help of the eggs and butter (light) mix.
If you would like to try out low carb shakes, make sure to read the labels so you will have an idea of the nutritional content. Double check if the shake mix are low on glycemic.
As pointed out by Dr. Robert Atkins in his Atkins diet, the cause of weight gain is "stodgy" food like bread and potatoes. More often than not, dieters trying out the low-carb diet often complain that they miss eating bread. If it is any consolation, there are some low carb breads out there in the market. These low carb breads have added soy flour to the mix.
But that does not mean that this bread is wheat free. They are also not gluten free. So the best way for you to achieve success in the low-carb diet is to not eat bread entirely. Yeah, you will miss it but it is for the best.
Now, if you feel that you have been very good in sticking with your low-carb diet and deserve to have a binge day once in a while, you can do so. Does pizza sound good? Well, glad to inform you that there are low-carb crust pizza with healthy toppings that is most suitable for the low-carb dieter. Fresh marinara on pizza sauce added with goat cheese, basil, vegetables and tomatoes are enough for a dieter's mouth to water.
Being on a low-carb diet does not mean that you will repress yourself, it only means you have to regulate what you put in your mouth.

How to Make Low Carb Diets Fun! Don’t Let Yourself Be Stressed
A diet low in carbohydrates means reducing the consumption of a variety of foods high in carbs like white sugar, white flour, white rice, white potatoes and others. It is 40% less energy.
Some food advisers consider this program as a risk, but when you understand how it is done, you will accept it as an effective way to shed extra pounds. Should you decide to adopt this plan, you should know fully what it involves and your willingness to for ego those familiar foods you have been eating all your life.
When all those familiar foods are eliminated, eating would be a very bleak prospect, but in reality, it is not so. You are given the option to substitute the high carbohydrates with its low counterpart, and you will have fun concocting an entirely new line of recipes.
1. Bread can be exchanged with special low caloric bread, low tortillas, high fiber crisp bread, flax meal bread, and bread with less glycemic. 2. Pasta can be substituted for spaghetti squash, shiratoki, and low carb pasta with the brand name Dream field. 3. Cereal can be all-bran with extra fiber, fiber one, Dixie Carb Counter Nutlettes and Flax Z; and white rice can be substituted for from ground cauliflower rice is just as tasteful. 4. Crackers can be changed for a commercial one which low carbohydrate content such as l Andre's 5. Potatoes will be mashed cauliflower, celery roots, turnips, and other root vegetable. 6. Beans and other legumes can be substituted for black soybeans. 7. Flour can come from grounded nuts and seeds, almond flour, flax seed meal and coconut flour. 8. Pizza can be a combination of low carb ingredients. 9. Milk is taken from coconut, unsweetened milk, almond milk, and low carb dairy. 10. Sweet stuff, with absolutely no sugar aloud, you can use artificial sweetener or sugar substitute and jams that are made from fresh fruits 11. Candy and desserts can be created from fruits, which are low in sugar content. Create your own sugar free candy; brownies can be baked at home.
