Low-carb and sugar-free drink mixes


If you're looking for a way to enjoy your cocktails and not go over your calorie or carb count for the day, look no more! Baja Bob offers a variety of mixes, from margaritas to daiquiri's, hurricanes and more for less than one gram of carbs per serving and no sugar.

Let Bob break it down for you:
ZERO calories per serving! * That's right, ZERO! The average sugar-loaded margarita mix can run over 250 calories per serving!Other sugar-free mixes are made with erythritol or aspartame, which have an aftertaste and can have a laxative effect, while Bob's mixes are sweetened with Splenda. Perfect for your next party! Less guilt means more fun! Visit their web site to order or find a local dealer near you.

Limited snack portions gets fun


Every time I pick up a magazine I read about the obesity epidemic in the U.S. and how big our portions have gotten. The 100 calorie snack paks that have become so popular are even missing the mark. Sure, they help you control your portion, but they don't teach you how to eat right.

Enter the The Yum Yum Dish (www.yumyumdish.com, $22), a 4 oz. dish that's fun and easy to understand. Place your snack in the bowl, and as long as you don't re-fill the bowl there is no danger of over-snacking. So go ahead, enjoy that ice cream and those Oreo cookies. Yum yum!

Watch those portion sizes

Have you ever heard that you need to eat a portion that is the size of the palm of your hand or a deck of cards? But do you have a hard time figuring out those measurements when it comes time to cook? portionpal® (www.portionpal.com, $17.99) comes in 5 translucent discs to help you control your food intake. The fun, silicone cutting boards help measure the proper size portions of Meat, Chicken, Fish, Sides, and Dessert. And let me tell you. The portion on the Dessert disc is TINY so it really hits home how overboard I was going on my favorite dessert, cookies.
