I really enjoyed their Healthy Living page. Here you will find topics on mind and body, sex and relationships, and family.  I particularly enjoyed the sex and relationships section where you will find tips on how to have a successful marriage. Discussion on how texting effects your relationship, to examining sexual fantasies and daydreams.  This section is worth browsing, even if you are not married, they have tips for the single women as well. 

On their Nutrition page you will find an abundance of  healthy recipes and snacks, as well as diet and cooking advice.  Not a cook, no worries, they even have tips for those who like to eat out.  Want to find out where to head for the healthiest fast food burger, they have the answer.

They also have an entire page dedicated to Weight Loss.  If you follow my blog, you probably know that I have lost a lot of weight, and kept it off for years.  You can read my story, there is a link to it on my right side bar. I wish I had read Health Daily Online and their diet strategies long ago.  They have an article that discusses if chocolate helps you lose weight, want to know if it does, then head to their site, and find out.

Healthy Daily Online is a fabulous resource for anyone wanting to live a healthy lifestyle. From improving your snack choices, relationships, weight loss, fitness, they have your overall health in mind.

Lose 10 Pounds & Lower Cholesterol In 4 Weeks with the African Mango Diet

I have always found nutrition interesting.  Recently I have been reading up on African mango.  You can find Mango supplements here at  African Mango, and several of them are on sale.  First though, let me share what I have recently learned.  Studies are showing that the African Mango Diet is one of the most natural ways to boost your diet success. Folks are losing up to 10 pounds in 4 weeks, without making any other lifestyle changes! The African Mango Diet is one of Dr. Oz's 2012 discoveries.

I Use To Be Addicted...

 

...to Diet Coke!
Really any diet soda was tasty to me.

I have talked about my weight loss on Bacon Time before, and if you missed it, check my right side bar for the photo link.  I don't want you to think that I am saying you can't lose weight and drink diet soda, because I am living proof that you can.  However I gave up diet soda about 3 weeks ago and I feel great!

 I don't know if you have heard recent reports that those who consume diet soda daily have a 40% greater chance of having issues of stroke or heart attack source.  Now as with most studies they stated that more research needed to be done, but it seemed like good motivation for giving it up completely.  Not to mention you can save money by drinking water instead of soda.

Other studies I have read seem to suggest that diet sodas may lead to weight gain.  Some suggest folks that drink diet soda make the assumption they can eat more and not gain weight, causing weight gain source.

Other studies suggest that the artificial sweetener in diet sodas actually makes us hungrier source. Before giving up diet soda, I would have believed the first conclusion. However after giving up all diet soda, I must tell you that I have noticed less food cravings!!!

My Weight Loss Transformation Inside and Out

Gasp...cringe...gulp...oh boy, here it is, an old pic of me, before my weight loss! I have shared my weight loss story on the blog before, sharing my own personal struggles, in hopes of helping others along the way.  I however have never mustered up enough courage to share any pics of the "old me" as I call it, even though I was obviously younger 8 years ago, but let's not do the math ;)

Today I am finding the courage to share this dreaded pic, in hopes of bringing encouragement and words of advice to those making a New Year's resolution to lose weight. I think my story will surprise you.  You may be surprised to hear, I sometimes get hate mail, from folks thinking that I eat bacon all day.  One commenter even wished me a "heart attack".  I don't let it get me down, at least I do my best not to, because I know if they read and followed my blog, they would know it's not all bacon, and I don't live an unhealthy lifestyle.

Slim- Fast's Great New Taste

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Slim-Fast for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
You may or may not know that your Bacon Time mama has lost a lot of weight and kept it off for over 5 years now, even after a second child.  It's not always easy, and occasionally I need to put myself back in check, and cut back a little to maintain my weight.
Recently Slim-Fast asked if I would try and review their NEW best tasting ever shakes.  I already knew they had a chocolate variety, so of course it was a no brainer, yes I will do it!  Especially this time of year when my cravings are the worst, with holiday cookies, and fudge a plenty.  I need to incorporate a lighter meal into my day, and know that I am still getting all the nutrients I need to make it to my next meal.  Because as you also know, I am the "Hungry Hungry Hypo" so this girl dose not skip a meal, doctors orders.
Slim-Fast

I tried the Creamy Milk Chocolate Slim-Fast shake.  I could taste a difference from the previous shakes I have tried in the past by Slim-Fast.  I was pleasantly pleased by the taste.  I would describe it as tasting like melted chocolate ice cream, yum.  It kept me full for about 4 hours, thanks to all the fiber and protein packed into only 190 calories! Slim-Fast also has a French Vanilla, Rich Chocolate Royale, Cappuccino Delight,  and Strawberries and Cream variety to try.  So you will never get board.
Slim-Fast has a 3-2-1 plan that can help you lose or maintain your weight.  The shakes are apart of the plan. It is super easy to follow.  You have 3 snacks a day, such as Slim-Fasts 100 Calorie snack bars. Enjoy 2 Slim-Fasts Shakes or Meal Bars per a day.  Then have 1 balanced meal (500 calories or less) a day.
So if you want to drop a few pounds or maintain, but do it without skimping on nutrition or taste, then head to your local Walmart, Drug store, Safeway, Kroger, you name it, and look for these great products from Slim-Fast in the pharmacy section.  Please like Slim-Fast on Facebook too, like your Bacon Time mama did.
