Emily Skipper has come up with a wonderful idea – Jam Jars. No she didn’t invent jam jars. She just came up with the idea of stuffing them full of mouth-watering, homemade desserts and selling them online.

Each jam jar is a single serving dessert in an eight or four ounce jam jar. Although if you don’t devour them immediately you can save them in your refrigerator for up to two weeks or in your freezer for up to six months.

The eight ounce jam jars sell for six dollars a piece and the four ounce jam jars sell for three-fifty. Right now Emily has the following desserts available (S’mores, Peach Cobbler, German Chocolate Cake, Rocky Road Brownie, Mixed Berry Cobbler, Birthday Cake, Apple Pie, Pecan Pie, Devil’s Food Cake, and Cherry Pie) although she’s always experimenting with new desserts. In fact if you want you can even send her special requests. If you do you have to order a minimum of six jam jars and give them at least a weeks notice. If it’s possible to get your special request in a jam jar rest assured you’ll get it. If not, they will let you know.

Also if you order the Baker’s Choice (they choose from their list of flavors or experiments) you get a dollar off the price of each jam jar.

Jam jars are perfect for fun desserts, parties or gifts. Go online to www.jamjarsweets.com and check them out for yourself.

Weight loss in Tyler, Texas: Learn portion control

Tyler TX Portion Control

Tyler TX Portion Control

It is quite possible that the number one cause for the obesity epidemic today has more to do with portion sizes and less to do with what the actual foods are.  While it is true that fatty, processed foods are less healthy for us than fresh and natural choices, the problems arise when they are eaten in excess.  A simple hamburger from the local Tyler, Texas fast food joint won’t have any lasting detrimental effects on its own.  It is when the hamburger is made to be double or triple the normal serving size and consumed in conjunction with the largest side of fries available and a 36 ounce soft drink that people begin to experience weight gain.

Consume these portion sizes every day, several times a day and it won’t be long before you start noticing your clothes are getting a bit snug.  Moderation is the key to maintaining a healthy weight.  You do not have to dine on lettuce and carrots exclusively, nor should you.  A healthy diet is not about deprivation as much as it is about moderation.  Learn what a serving size it, how to measure it, and do not allow yourself to consume more than that.

Make the bulk of your Tyler, Texas diet unprocessed, healthy foods in portions appropriate for your body.  When you do indulge, do it wisely and do not over indulge.  There is no reason you can’t enjoy a fully loaded sundae every once in a while…just make it a small one and don’t make it a daily habit.

Cokes Cause a Problem When Losing Weight

Weight loss in Tyler, Texas: Kick the Coke habit!

Soft drinks on their own can be a nice treat every once in a while. It is when they become a part of your every day diet that you get in trouble. A 12 ounce can of soda contains 150 empty calories and 9 teaspoons of sugar. Considering that the USDA recommends only 12 teaspoons of sugar for a well balanced 2,200 calorie per day diet, that doesn’t leave much room for sugar from other sources. Additionally, studies seem to suggest that consuming soft drinks daily increase the rate of fat storage even though your solid food calorie intake may not change.

Perhaps the thing that is most surprising, and quite alarming actually, is that by simply eliminating one soft drink from your diet daily you could lose up to 30 pounds in a year without any other changes in your lifestyle! That seems to be good motivation to leave the Tyler, Texas soda vending machines alone for a while, doesn’t it? The next time you need a little refreshment, reach for a bottle of water instead. Aside from eliminating the empty calories, your body will benefit from being properly hydrated.

If you find you simply must have a little flavor, squeeze a lemon or orange wedge into your water. No, it won’t be as sweet as your beloved soft drink, but that is kind of the point. Many people find that after they have eliminated soft drinks for a while, they cannot drink them because of how sweet they are.
