4 Tips to be FREE this Holiday Season

I'd like to wish all of you a very joyous, fun holiday season.

In addition, I'd like to share 4 quick tips so you can be FREE this holiday season.

As you go about your partying and celebrating, I invite you to keep reminding yourself of the
word F R E E.

That's what you want to be, right?

You don't want to feel driven and enslaved by cookies, cakes or candies, do you?

You don't want to be trapped by your anger, anxiety, or depression, of course.

Instead, you want to feel joyous, confident, and bold, right?

You want harmony, peace of mind, and a sense of calm, right?

So here's how to remind yourself to be F R E E.

F = Feel your power.

You have the final say as to what goes into your mouth. You are the master of what thoughts you allow into your brain. You are responsible for what you feel. So realize that you can choose what you eat, think or feel.

R = Run to the gym or up the stairs.

The biggest rush you can ever find is by working out. So hurry your butt to a place where you can move your body boldly and joyously. When you prance around, you will get a serotonin rush -- no
need for a sugar or alcohol high!

E = Embrace whatever you're going through.

No need to hide. If family members are pushing your buttons, just breathe through the emotions and know that you'll become bigger and better because of it. Embrace the moment that will never come back again. Enjoy your loved ones to the utmost. This is a special time you have together.

E = Energize with Energetic Foods.

By this I mean, stay close to those alive foods -- veggies, nuts, fruits, legumes and quality protein -- that bring you good cheer and concentration. Those are the foods that will give you the energy, enthusiasm, and excitement that you desire this holiday season.

Hope these holiday tips helped.

Have a wonderful end of year, everyone. Enjoy lots of joy, fun, quality time with loved ones and much more.

FYI, if you have some time on your hands and want to join my Sugar Freedom Course, you can do the self-guided program at any time.

Dessert for Breakfast? Sugary Children's Cereals

How would you feel if your kids had a Twinkie or even had cookies for breakfast?

Well, that's exactly what she or he -- or maybe even you -- may be doing most mornings.

Suffice it to say that millions of children are beginning their day going into Sugar Shock.

So found a scary new report on popular cereals, Sugar in Children's Cereal, from the Environmental Working Group, a non-profit, non-partisan research organization dedicated to using the power of information to protect human health and the environment.

The Environmental Working Group arrived at its frightening sugar findings after studying 84 popular brands of cereal, many of them marketed directly to children, to see if they meet either the federal government's proposed nutrition guidelines or the industry's looser nutrition guidelines.

And the EWG found lots about sugar, sugar, sugar.

Kellogg's Honey Smacks, which has nearly 56 percent sugar by weight, leads the list of the 10 worst children’s cereals, according to EWG’s analysis.

In fact, the EWG found, a one-cup serving of the brand contains more sugar than a Hostess Twinkie.

Meanwhile, one cup of any of the 44 other children’s cereals has more sugar than three Chips Ahoy! cookies.

Here's EWG's list of the 10 worst cereals.

10 Worst Children’s Cereals Based on percent sugar by weight
1.) Kellogg’s Honey Smacks	55.6%
2.) Post Golden Crisp	51.9%
3.) Kellogg’s Froot Loops Marshmallow	48.3%
4.) Quaker Oats Cap’n Crunch’s OOPS! All Berries	46.9%
5.) Quaker Oats Cap’n Crunch Original	44.4%
6.) Quaker Oats Oh!s	44.4%
7.) Kellogg’s Smorz	43.3%
8.) Kellogg’s Apple Jacks	42.9%
9.) Quaker Oats Cap’n Crunch’s Crunch Berries	42.3%
10.) Kellogg’s Froot Loops Original	41.4%

Of course, this EWG report comes as no surprise to me, given that I often share information about sugar's pervasiveness and its dangers, as I did in my first book, Sugar Shock.

So why should you care about your kids eating so much sugar for breakfast?

As the EWG points out, studies suggest that children who eat breakfasts that are high in sugar have more problems at school.

For instance, they become more frustrated and have a harder time working independently than kids who eat lower-sugar breakfasts, as the EWG noted. And by lunchtime, these kids who filled up on sugar for breakfast have less energy, are hungrier, show attention deficits and make more mistakes on their work.

Kudos to the Environmental Working Group for sharing this important news.

Click here to see the best and worst cereals, as discovered by the EWG.

Wondering what's a good breakfast then? Well, for starters, why do your kids have to have cereal to start the day?

But if they do, make sure, as nutrition expert Marion Nestle, Ph.D., recommends that you pick:

1. Cereals with a short ingredient list
2. Cereals high in fiber.
3. Cereals with little or no added sugars (such as honey, molasses, fruit juice concentrate, brown sugar, corn sweetener, sucrose, lactose, glucose, high-fructose corn syrup and malt syrup).

An easy breakfast for children would be a piece of fresh fruit (like an orange or apple), a cooked of steel cut oats (sprinkled with cinnamon), some plain milk (if they can handle dairy), and a hard boiled egg (prepared the night before).

Have you heard yet that my next book, Beyond Sugar Shock, is due out next year? Stay tuned for details.
