I have organic oatmeal with a cinnaman every morning.( no sugar, honey or anything else) I usually put two eggs in it and wash it down with a v8, a Danone probiatic shot and a glass of water that I put a packet of green superfood and reds pak in it.
Are supplementing greens and reds good for you or just hype?
Also, when I decided to change my lifestyle I knew what I would mss the most is succulent grilled chicken, perfectly bbqed on the grill. Almost every sauce is ridiculously high in sugar. I found one online, on a website netrition, that carries Sugar Free BBQ Sauce by Guy Fiero- I haven;t tasted the bacon or garlic flavor, but just the original is a bbq sauce that I would have used and eaten even if I wasn;t on a diet. For you bbq chicken connoisseurs, I would highly recommend it.

    Don't know about the superfood. To me, anything labeled superfood I tend to see as a waste of money/ trend. Thanks for the BBQ chicken tip!

    Welcome, Robert.

    In my opinion, the point of making a lifestyle change is to eat the foods you love while in moderation. Why not use a small portion of the barbecue sauce you love? The only reason to limit sugar is if you have a medical condition and the doctor has told you to limit sugar.

    As to the green and red superfood--what is that? To me, it sounds like a fad or something.

    The only way to lose weight is to eat at a calorie deficit. You can do that eating anything you so desire. The only magic any food has, including the super food you reference above, is the magic we give it.

    If you are concerned about the sugar content you should look at your probiotic yogurt and v8, both of those have a significant amount of sugar in them. Switch your probiotic drink out for a probiotic pill and you will save a lot of calories from sugar that you can put into your bbq sauce of choice.
