PGX is in the news again!

Check out this clip featured on CityTV's Breakfast Television!

Just last week, Breakfast Television Toronto featured Dr Sean Wharton MD, Internal Medicine Specialist and Dr. Michael Lyon MD, Professor of Nutrition at UBC. And I'm sure you've already figured out what came up during their discussion of diabetes, blood sugar and weight loss: PGX!

Check out the informative video and get useful tips about healthy habits and making smart choices in the morning that will keep your blood sugar in control.

No matter how good the intentions, it can be difficult to curb cravings for sweet or salty foods. The occasional indulgence is no cause for concern but frequent cravings could be a sign of unbalanced blood sugar. Instead of reaching for a high-calorie sugary treat try these alternatives:

• Are you hungry or thirsty? Drink a big glass of water. Your body loves it.

• Too hungry, too often? Fill up on fibre! Soluble fibre fills you up and makes you feel fuller, longer.

• Sugar craving? Grab a piece of fresh fruit or blend a frozen fruit smoothie; naturally sweet nutrition.

Salt and crunch craving? Skip the chips! Crunch some celery or an apple slice. Sprinkle with salt if you like, or better yet dip it in natural peanut butter! You’ll get some crunch, some salt and some fat and protein too!

Just because you're trying to eat healthy doesn't mean you can't have dessert. In fact, studies show that each time you turn down temptation, it's harder to stay on track.

A smart and sensible dessert should only have as many calories as a snack. Here's one you can enjoy, guilt-free!

Say, hello to these Guilt-Free Double Chocolate Brownies! At less than 120 calories per serving you can stick to your plan and indulge from time to time. See the recipe from Fitness Magazine !

Hi PGXers! 

I wanted to thank you for all the comments you've left for me on Facebook and Twitter! I'm so excited to be a part of your journey!  

Many of you wrote to me asking for a favorite recipe and I had to share this one with you. With Fall just around the corner I think this is the perfect muffin. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

Sweet Potato PGX muffins

• 4 cups mashed, cooked sweet potatoes, skins removed
• 12 scoops whey protein powder
• 4 egg whites
• 1 cup raisins
• 1 cup uncooked oatmeal
• 2 cups almond milk—unsweetened
• 20 grams PGX granules

PREP: Preheat oven to 350 and line 24 muffin tins with paper cup liners.

MIX: All ingredients except PGX. Just before pouring the mixture into your muffin tins, add PGX and stir thoroughly. Then spoon the mixture into the tins.

BAKE: 15 minutes or until done (we like gooey muffins in my house!)

Enjoy!
