Review: Thomas Bagel Thins

Our family loves Breakfast, during the week it’s kind of hectic in our house, but on the weekend, we love to have a big breakfast. I recently found Thomas Bagel Thins… Have you seen them or tried them yet? If you haven’t tried them yet I encourage you to give Thomas Bagel Thins a try. I’ve seen them in the store, just didn’t really know if they are any good and I’m not one to just buy something because it is new. If other people talk about it I’m more incline to buy something new. Well, I was asked to check out Thomas Bagel Thins and boy am I glad I did.

We had some for our Sunday Breakfast and they were wonderful; my Toddler & Tween gave them 2 thumbs up ( Teen missed it, he thought sleep was more important, so his loss, we ate them all and he was left with a toast…nananananana); I added some cream cheese and gave one to the Tween & Toddler, hubby snagged one, too. While I asked the Tween how he liked it, and he put his thumb up while scarving down the entire bagel, just in case someone would come and take it from him, I hear hubby in the background, I love these, they are great.. Can we have more??

Okay now the kids loved them and hubby is caught by the Bagel Fever, too… now it was my turn to check them out. Ya all know I’m a German gal, and German’s have the best bread in the world, I love me some bread. I was a bit skeptical, cause I love fresh bread, crusty and all, not the soft stuff … well I put my Bagel in the toaster and once it came out added some Cream Cheese…. Mhhhhh … I have to admit, Thomas knows how to make Bagels and then with only 100 Calories to boot. I loved these, they were great. Filled me up, fulfilled my bread craving and yet I ate less than a regular bagel… wonderful. I could go on and on and on about how much I enjoyed my Bagel Thins, but why not run to the next grocery store and pick up a bag or two of Bagel Thins and try them yourself… I bet you will love them as much as we did. Thomas Bagel Thins come in Plain, whole wheat, everything bagel or Cinnamon raisin bagels and be found at a grocery store near you.

Here are some more Morning Tips to keep you Healthy and in shape

• Don’t skimp on sleep
  
  • It’s important to get a good night’s sleep to feel well-rested – ready to take on the day! Most adults need about seven to eight hours of sleep each night, and studies have shown that those who get less have impaired memory and physical performance. Not getting enough sleep can also make concentration difficult, and leave you feeling drowsy all day. So aim to get enough sleep each night. It’ll boost your immune system, help your nervous system work properly, and leave you feeling energized all day! Experts estimate that compared to getting 7 to 8 hours per night, the risk of developing obesity rises 23 percent with just 6 hours of sleep per night, 50 percent with only 5 hours per night, and 73 percent with 4 hours per night!
    
• Have a healthy breakfast
  
  • While sleeping each night, your body is in a fasting mode, so within an hour of rising, you need to break that fast by eating a healthy breakfast. It gives your body the fuel it needs to meet your busy schedule and skipping
    breakfast decreases your metabolism, and increases your cravings throughout the day! Studies have also shown consuming breakfast improves cognition and memory in children and adolescents making them able to concentrate and be more attentive in school. We all have some kid in us, so use this tip to your advantage!
    
• Eat empowered
  
  • Every morning when you sit down to breakfast (and every meal!), remember that each meal is an opportunity to get back in the game and stay on course. You should feel empowered by making the right choices. There are always healthier alternatives to the high-fat, high-calorie, nutrient-less options that we all tend to go for, and I always keep a healthy staple product on-hand to help me quickly make a delicious and nutritious meal. Thomas’® Bagel Thins™ bagel is one of those better-for-you options – they’re 110 calories each, low in fat and every flavor is at least a good source of fiber. It’s not “I can’t eat that heavy bagel” – it IS – “I can eat the Thomas’ Bagel Thins™ bagel!
    
• Start with a glass of lemon water
  
  • Drinking enough h2o throughout the day helps with weight loss in several ways. First, there’s an emotional component; it will make you feel empowered and will help spur you to make good choices for the rest of the day. Second, researchers have long known that dieters who replace sweetened drinks with water lose weight more quickly that those who don’t. Finally, many people overeat because they are actually thirsty and just can’t tell the difference between thirst and hunger. Also, when you’re adequately hydrated, your metabolism functions at its best.
    
• Exercise steady
  
  • Aside from burning calories, exercise is important because it causes your body to release endorphins, making you feel good, and motivating you to eat well, do your job well, and simply be happy! I love exercising in the early am, and eating breakfast when I’m done, and typically, people who work out in the morning are more likely to stick to their routine, than those who squeeze it in later. If you’re averse to starting your day with more rigorous exercises like running, try a lower-impact activity like yoga. Just do something!
