Breyer's Chocolate Ice Cream

If you are more of a Chocolate fan, treat yourself to half a cup of Breyer's Chocolate Ice Cream. It's made with all natural ingredients so you don't need to worry about high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils...just cream, milk, sugar, and deliciousness!

Simply measure accurately, put it in a small bowl, then shove the carton to the back of the freezer so it makes it harder to get to when you finish your half cup!

McDonald's Soft Serve Cone

Fresno Fitness — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 18:14:01 +0000

There is nothing like a McDonald's soft serve cone. I can say this with authority because I know it to be a true, hard fact. I go through phases of foods that I am obsessed with. During my soft serve phase I tried all the soft serve available in town and McDonald's still came out on top!! A close second is the Tastee Freez cone at Weinerschnitzel, but that cone will put you back 230 calories. For just 150 calories, you can enjoy the best soft serve ice cream out there!!

List: 10 Sweet Ideas

(Side note: if you are ever in New York, you *must* get a Mister Softee cone from the ice cream truck....it is worth every single one of the 371 calories that you will be consuming...but since you can't get it here, we'll still consider McDonald's the best! )

Pineapple Orange Smoothie

List: 10 Sweet Ideas

1 Cup vanilla almond milk
2/3 Cup frozen pineapple
1/4 Cup frozen orange juice concentrate

So the procedure to prepare this is a bit complicated so pay attention.... insert ingredients into blender, attach the lid to the blender jar, then using your index finger, press the button labeled "blend". When all the ingredients are incorporated to your desired texture, pour the finished product into a glass and enjoy!

For an extra 100 calories you can add a scoop of vanilla whey protein powder and get 18 grams of protein!

Raspberry + Chocolate = YUM

Pineapple Orange Smoothie

1c vanilla almond milk
2/3 C frozen raspberries
2 tbs chocolate chips

All you have to do is put the three ingredients listed above in the blender and blend, pour into a cup, and eat it with a spoon! If you have the calories you may want to add more chocolate chips.

Make only one serving at a time to avoid over eating. Not that I have ever...

Celebrity Advice

Fresno Fitness — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 18:32:02 +0000

"...celebrity medical advice can be hazardous. Their messages have led some doctors and patients to make inappropriate health decisions, at times increasing risks for patients and driving up health care costs. Their advocacy, while informative and inspiring, often oversimplifies complex medical issues. Finally, the first-class advantages most celebrities enjoy can create false hope for their economy-class public. "

~Rahul Parikh from Slate.com

Do you think celebrities should be giving health advice? Slate doesn't seem to think so. For me, good advice from any source is still well good advice. For instance, Lance Armstrong and Suzane Somers have both written books on the fight against cancer that many people have found inspiring. If it helps... and doesn't hurt you... why not?

In related news, actress Megan Fox offered her advice to women on how to lose weight by drinking vinegar. Most health experts have harshly critized Fox saying drinking vinegar will not increase fat loss or clease the body. The only real way to lose weight is to workout, eat right and proper rest. I did find Megan's reasoning for using vinegar instead of working out interesting...

"I'm not one for dieting or exercising, because I'm lazy and I have a really big sweet tooth, so I have to do cleanses every once in a while 'cause of the amount of sugar I take in."
~ Actress Megan Fox from The Daily Telegragh
