free samples

If you like to grocery shop on the weekends because of the free samples scattered throughout the store take heed from my experience yesterday.

The barista who cut up samples at my preferred coffee shop yesterday morning must have been feeling generous. A sample platter of baked goodies greeted me at the register, and the tray was a tempting arrangement of bigger than usual portions (about four bites each) of various treats. As I gave my order and paid for my coffee, it took this one thought for me to back away from the sample tray: Just because it doesn't cost anything, doesn't mean there aren't any calories.

I'd rather not waste calories on something forgettable, like the over-sized corner of a baked good that I have to pop in my mouth in a hurry. I prefer to hold out for the treats I truly enjoy, like dark chocolate, and give myself time to savor them.

Before reaching for something just because it's there, ask yourself if those calories would be better used elsewhere. As for the fruit samples at the farmers market — I always say yes!

Are you getting enough calcium to keep your bones strong? Most women aren't, but you can.

New Viactiv Flavor Glides dietary supplements are a new easy to swallow caplet from the company that brought us the popular calcium chews. Currently there are two flavors, the Vanilla-flavored Calcium Flavor Glides that contain 500mg of calcium plus vitamins D and K. The Berry Breeze flavored Multi-Vitamin Flavor Glides are a women's formula with 24 vitamins and minerals. Most supplements seem to be like horse pills to me, but these are supposed to be small enough that those of us who have a hard time swallowing things on command should be able to take a flavor glide with ease. In fact it is easy to swallow guaranteed so if you can't, you get your money back.

With new products come free samples (yay!), so get yours by filling out a super short (3 questions) survey.

In the days where you are pushed to drink more and more water, sometimes it can get a little boring. Personally I love the addition of lemon in my water, especially on warm spring days. Problem is I don't always have a lemon slice with me every where I go.

True Lemon (and True Lime) has created a fresh squeezed lemon or lime taste in a simple packet or a shaker bottle. The crystallized lemon and lime substitutes are made from 100% all natural ingredients including fresh lemon or lime juices and oils. Plus, they contain no calories, carbohydrates, artificial, natural sweeteners, preservatives or sodium. One serving also offers 25% of an adult’s daily Vitamin C requirements. You can bring them camping, to the gym, on a picnic, walk or hike, to work... really anywhere you'd be drinking water.

To get your free sample, visit the True Lemon site and fill out the super quick survey.

The National Institute of Health suggests that we get 21 to 38 grams of fiber per day. However, the average American consumes only 10 to 15 grams of fiber per day. Not getting enough fiber?

Metamucil wants to help, seriously. They are giving away free samples of their Fiber Starter Kit, which contains a sample of Wafers, Powder, and Capsules Plus Calcium. Also included is the informational booklet Your Guide to a High Fiber Diet. Why should you care about fiber?
