Got Resveratrol? What is it?!?! Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant that is produced by some plants to protect against environmental stresses. It is more commonly known, however, as the active ingredient in red wine that protects against heart disease. How to get it in your diet?
   How to best get resveratrol?

I personally take this supplement for two reasons:

  1. I’m not a heavy-enough wine drinker.  Okay let me qualify that,  a typical 5 ounce glass of red wine will have anywhere from 0.3 mg to 1.9 mg of resveratrol, while the typical supplement has over 30 mg of resveratrol. And the supplement I take has 200 mg and I take it at least twice a day!! Which means I would need to drink 1000 BOTTLES of RED wine every day! Ask us HOW?
  2. It costs only about 30 cents per day to take the supplement. Wine? Plan on spending about $50-100 per day to get 30 mg the same amount of resveratrol (not to mention the constant state of inebriation you’d be in).
Besides, supplements are standardized for resveratrol content, while wine can vary widely by grape, region and vintage. But that’s just me-millions of happy old Frenchmen would argue that to turn away a glass of fine pinot noir in favor of a capsule would constitute sacrilege, and if you like a glass or two of the red stuff to go along with your dinner every evening, then you might be apt to agree with them.

We like this!    

This is one of the reasons that medical professionals promote drinking wine. The antioxidants in the wine quickly make their way into the bloodstream so it works quickly. Antioxidants help our bodies fight against cell damage, which in turn helps us to live healthier lives and look ageless.

Trigger Foods!! Yah but what is it that gets us Trigger Happy? Or an Eating Frenzy?

Note that all the foods Hungry Girl, Lisa & her Friends are triggered by is  C A R B S!

For the most part, I steer clear of my trigger foods, too. (By the way, trigger foods are those that make you want more and more of them, potentially setting you off into an eating frenzy.) But we all slip up every now and again. I've gone thru an entire bag of pistachios in one day. (Not a proud moment, but I'm only human.) Days like that, thankfully, are few and far between -- mostly because I tend to avoid my trigger foods altogether. But when I do treat myself to them, I use some tricks. Check 'em out...

1. Find portion-controlled options. Since I love nuts but can't be trusted around big bags of them, I keep 100-calorie packs handy. If your favorite snack doesn't come packaged in single servings, try this next tip.

2. Break large bags up into mini bags/containers with a single portion in each. This TOTALLY helps. In fact, I recommend doing it as soon as you get back from the store -- keep those giant snack bags out of your home whenever possible!

3. Pop a mint or a piece of sugar-free mint gum right after you have a serving of your trigger food. The mintiness can help stop you from craving more of that food. (The fresh breath is an added bonus.) This one works like a CHARM!
