As most of you probably heard yesterday, Jennifer Hudson is the new spokeswoman for the popular Weight Watchers program. Our favorite dreamgirl has lost a significant amount of weight after the birth of her son. According to Hudson, this isn’t a diet, but a lifestyle change. I commend Ms. Hudson for being a curvy BG, but still trying to be more health conscious.

I’ve always heard such great things about Weight Watchers, but have never been on any diet; but I do love their frozen meals!

Have you ever tried Weight Watchers? Have you ever been on a diet? Do you think diets work? Please share.

Since I’ve traded in my favorite treat – gummi bears for healthier bites, I’ve tried many nuts and fruit snacks, but none have stacked up to Peeled Snacks. This fairly new line of all-natural, organic dried fruits and nuts have been my go-to treats throughout my pregnancy.

Not only are Peeled Snacks packed with tons of nutritional benefits, they are all very tasty too! It’s hard to believe that there is no sugar or oil added. Since I love tart and tangy goodies, my favorite ones are the dried pineapples and cherries.

Visit www.peeledsnacks.com to find a store near you that carries Peeled Snacks.

Are you a fan of dried fruit and nuts? What do you snack on to stay healthy?

This summer I’ve tried to curb my appetite for sugary sweets like gummi bears and Skittles. Instead, I’ve opted for delicious fresh fruits. We all need to make a conscious effort to make fruits a part of our daily diets.

The summer is the best season to get your hands on a the freshest fruits available and for a more affordable price. Right now, the fruits in season are: blueberries, blackberries, apples, melons, grapes, nectarines and peaches. Add them to a salad or keep them at work for a healthy snack.

So put down those sugary snacks and head to your local farmer’s market or produce store to stock up on fruits that are tasty and good for you!

What are your favorite fruits?

For those of you who have been procrastinating when it comes to working out, there’s no better time to start than now! With summer in full-swing, there are so many outdoor options for exercising. I know that many of us BGs put off working out to preserve our ‘dos, but our health should always come first. Doing at least 30 minutes of cardio 3 times a week will keep those pesky pounds away and our hearts healthy.

What’s your favorite work-out routine? Do you prefer bike riding, jogging, swimming, etc? For those BGs with relaxed tresses, do you oftentimes forgo working out in an effort to keep your lovely locks straight?

Call me old-fashioned, but it was only recently that I became hip to the wonderful world of electric toothbrushes! Of course, I knew about them, but I always thought that they were too expensive. Thanks to my mother-in-law who gifted me with the practical gadget, I am now obsessed with the cleaning devices.

They are great at keeping teeth clean and gums healthy in between dentist visits. Plus, you can find quality ones within your budget. I can’t believe it took me so long to take advantage of dental technology!

Do you use electric toothbrushes? Are you one of the millions who has a fear of the dentist? Please share!
