LOSE WEIGHT WITH SKINNYBIK
Interesting study from Israel showing that subjects eating biscuits or dessert for breakfast lost same amount of weight than those who ate a low carb breakfast and they kept it off for longer!! Nevertheless it is probably not a good idea to eat high sugar foods for breakfast long term.
However my patients keep telling me how my low carb Skinnybik stop hunger and have helped them lose weight.
Therefore I have devised a 5:2 diet plan with FOUR Skinnybik for breakfast on the 2 fast days and replacing all sweets with Skinnybik on the 5 days. Download diet plan pdf from skinnybik home page www.skinnybik.com

"Omega-3 deficiency is a condition in which your body does not have enough omega-3 fats available. It typically results from not consuming enough dietary sources of omega-3s over the long term. While healthcare providers do not regularly assess people for omega-3 deficiency, there may some indicators that your status is low. For example, lacking omega-3 may lead to or exacerbate dry and irritated skin, inflammation, hair thinning and loss, depression, dry eyes, and joint pain or stiffness. The research linking these symptoms to omega-3 deficiency is preliminary, so more research is needed."
