I love LIFE cereal.

To be more precise, I love Cinnamon LIFE cereal.

It’s a guilty pleasure.  I know I shouldn’t.  I know that it’s a horribly processed carbohydrate, with no nutritional value, and will do nothing but mess with my blood sugar levels if eaten by itself, but I love it.  I’m the grown-up version of Mikey.

In the past, I’ve actually been known to eat a bowl (or 3) for lunch…but only as a "cheat" meal, and only on a very rare occasion.

See, even a personal trainer isn’t perfect with his eating.

But there’s a better to fit in my guilty pleasure of Mikey’s favorite cereal.  As I’ve said before, one of my favorite snacks is homemade trail mix.  My wife buys almonds and other nuts in bulk and puts in raisins, craisins and my Cinnamon LIFE cereal.

That way I can get a high protein, high fiber, vitamin and mineral packed, easy to transport and eat snack in and still enjoy a guilty pleasure.  Plus those extra carbs actually help out with my busy training  and massage schedule.

That’s how you can enjoy a guilty pleasure and still make it healthy.
