So, my new baby is here and that means it’s time to get serious about shedding this weight! I’m still wearing my maternity pants because nothing else seems to fit yet. My hubby and I both agreed that a healthier lifestyle with more veggies would be great for both of us, but our snacking habits are just out of control- we both crave sweets and salty foods and tend to go overboard when that craving hits!
We heard about Old London’s “OPA to a better you” campaign and thought it was very fitting- we are Greek and as Greeks, we celebrate EVERYTHING! Seriously, everything- and when we celebrate it is always with food. So, while we are celebrating our weight loss journey, of course, it has to be with food. It sounds like an oxymoron, but people need to eat! By healthier eating AND healthier snacking, I’m hoping a healthier change can come for both of us.
We tried out Old London Bagel Chips and Melba Toast during this campaign and I have to say, it definitely satisfies our craving for salty foods. The reason is that their toasty snacks are packed with flavor. My favorite is the Garlic & Herb Bagel Chips with a little Feta cheese sprinkled on top. No other seasonings are needed since the bagel chips are so flavorful! Aside from their awesome flavor, Old London Bagel Chips have only 70 calories per serving and contain no trans fat! The ingredient list consists of basic ingredients you could actually pronounce! You can check out some great recipes for Old London Foods. I love how you can use their baked products as part of a recipe to create something totally different, such as their Old London Sesame Melba Baklava. I can’t wait to try this recipe out on the weekend!
Old London is giving away an awesome prize on their Facebook page: you could win an 8 day/7 night trip for two to Greece! They will even pay for the airfare! On top of that, you also get $2,000 to spend while you are there. Are you still reading this?? GO ENTER!!! Check out Old London on Facebook for more info.
