Mom's on a Diet Mother's Day Gift Basket
This unique gift basket is a dieter's dream. We don't provide the sugar-free, low-fat, "diet" versions of their favorite foods, but rather, we introduce real foods that can help shed those extra pounds. The foods gathered here taste great and have the capacity to speed up the metabolism naturally.
Complex carbohydrates and fiber pump up metabolism by keeping insulin levels low after eating. This is important because spikes in insulin production signal the body that it's time to store fat, at which time the metabolism slows down and fewer calories are burned. Foods such as oatmeal and beans are good sources of fiber and complex carbohydrates, and they're included to help in Mom's weight loss goals.
Beverages can have a profound effect on weight loss as well. The antioxidant EGCG in green tea and the caffeine in coffee can both help the body burn more calories. The included green tea will not only help with weight loss, but has many other wonderful health benefits. With regard to coffee, some caffeine in the diet can help speed up the metabolism and thus burn more calories, but too much caffeine can have just the opposite effect. The Well Bean Soy Blend Coffee in the basket contains half the caffeine of regular coffee, plus delivers all the health benefits of soy products.
The Omega-3 Fatty Acids found in salmon assist dieters by lowering the body's level of leptin. Many studies suggest that low levels of this hormone are associated with faster metabolisms and quick fat-burning capacity.
So Mom doesn't have to completely give up chips and other unhealthful snacks, this gift basket includes tasty baked Soy Chips that are low in fat and include the health benefits of soy and Figamajigs chocolate covered figs for a fiber-rich, low fat alternative to candy.
