Pom, Dei Fratelli, Aquafull and The Ultimate Metabolism Diet

I've had an empty POM juice bottle on my desk for a week as a reminder to tell you about this product.  While I'm at it, I thought I'd mention a couple other items as well. 

* * *
I received a case of POM Wonderful juice.  POM is 100% pomegranate juice.  It is all-natural and contains no added sugar.  One of my teenagers claimed it was "bitter" and then drank three or four bottles!  I drank a couple myself and became a POM fan.  The juice reminds me of cranberry juice--it's tart and delicious.  It turns out that 100% pomegranate juice is good for you, too--studies have shown benefits to your cardiovascular health, for instance.

Check out POM Wonderful for more information.

The Dei Fratelli company sent samples of their tomato products.  I used the low-sodium diced tomatoes the other day.  This product is all natural and low in sodium and delicious!  Do you realize how good tomatoes and tomato products are for you?  I hate raw tomatoes but use cooked tomato products in many different ways, from casseroles to soups to pastas.  You can see the wide variety of products right here and order them online (the prices are pretty reasonable, too)

* * *
The creator of Fullbar.com has come up with another product to manage hunger.  Aquafull is a dietary supplement you add to a 16 ounce water bottle.  It contains inulin and flavorings, so you end up with a flavored bottle of water that contains fiber--thus helping you feel full.  Each packet has less than twenty calories and four grams of fiber.  Flavors include Berry Bliss and Zesty Lemon Tea.  The idea is that you can drink water with Aquafull thirty minutes before you eat and then eat less and feel satisfied.

Finally, the PR department at Hunter House Publishers sent The Ultimate Metabolism Diet by Scott Rigden, MD who is a "pioneer in the emerging field of functional medicine."  He explains that five known metabolic disorders can sabotage your weight-loss efforts and explains how to correct those problems so you can lose weight again.  This book contains a lot of information--and frankly, seems a little complicated at first glance.  If you'd like to win a free copy, leave a comment here.  I'll choose a winner by the end of the week.

* * *
I am aware that I never chose a winner for the Brita filter pitcher and water bottles.  Please forgive my oversight.  I will choose a winner for that at the end of the week also and get those items sent out!   Things are crazy around here. . . however, I began my morning with lunges and weight work for my arms, so in approximately six hours my arms will fall off.  And then I will weigh less!

You are so funny. Good for you on getting your exercise in and even though it would be a big loss, hope your arms don't fall off. ;-)

I'm interested in the metabolism book. A friend was just telling me about iodine deficiency and its connection to thyroid issues.

I would *love* to gain that book, considering I have lost my metabolism after years & years of yo-yo dieting... Ugh!

[Stacy]

A chance to win a book that could put an end to my continuous battle with weight? Count me in!

LOL on the story with your kid. My husband often disses my diet food, but then goes on to eat it before I get a chance to. (Hey, wait, I think I know the cause of my recent weight gain!)

Hope your workout went well (sans the arms falling off).

[allie]

put me in for the book . I need all the help I can get!

LMAO about your arms falling off! Oh, and for the record, it doesn't work. I've been doing what feels like 1000s of lunges each day in an attempt to make my legs fall off...I mean, that would be a major weight loss! But...no. NADA. Zilch. They are still there, slightly less cottage cheese-like and sor-uh! But still there nonetheless. Perhaps it takes a million before they fall off??? Glad to see your humor is back!
