'The Lean Belly Prescription' Book Review and Giveaway!

You know the handsome Dr. Travis Stork from the TV show 'The Doctors'?  Well, he has written a book-  The Lean Belly Prescription.  Now, generally, I do not enjoy reading anything other than fiction.  Suspense, thrillers, etc.  I'm real intellectual.  However, I was interested in hearing what the cutie doctor had to say.  Within the first couple of pages, I was hooked.  It was an easy read, with very common sense, easy to follow guidelines and healthy eating principles.  It's definitely information that every American should read.  I say American, just b/c there are so many of us that are overweight.  It has become an epidemic in this country.  Myself included.  I am not obese, but need to lose 20 lbs.  Well, I need to lose 10 lbs to get back into a healthy weight range.  I need to lose 20 to look hot.  So, 20's my goal. haha. 

One of the things this book emphasizes is the importance of whole grains.  That's why Multigrain Cheerios is part of this great giveaway!  You know how we love Cheerios around here, and Multigrain Cheerios are no exception. 

General Mills is providing this great prize pack to one Mo'Betta reader through MyBlogSpark!

According to the Report of the 2010 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, a majority of Americans do not eat the daily recommended servings of whole grains (which is 3). In fact, the average person gets a little more than half a serving of whole grain each day.


Cereal is a one easy and convenient way to fit more whole grains into your diet.  Big G cereals, for example, contains at least 8 grams of whole grain per serving, with more than 20 Big G cereals delivering 16 grams or more. (At least 48 grams of whole grain are recommended daily.) A diet high in whole grains has been found to help (not prevent or cure) with diabetes and weight management, and may help reduce the risk of heart disease and certain cancers. 

Visit http://www.wholegrainnation.com/ for more tips, additional information about the benefits of whole grain and how to help you manage your weight by incorporating whole grains into your day.


In this book “The Lean Belly Prescription,” by Dr. Travis Stork, he talks about how important weight management and proper nutrition are.  A large amount of research has shown that belly fat carries more health risks than fat stored elsewhere. Since having children, I know all about belly fat.  ew. 

In this book, you will find lots of practical information, as well as having different plans or strategies to choose from to help you in your weight management goals.  For example, Dr. Stork's  “Laws of Leanness” allows you to choose goals that will easily fit into your lifestyle -

*If you love to graze: Nosh all day long on your favorite fruits and vegetables to help keep your belly full

*If you love fatty foods: discover which fats can actually strip away pounds

*If you love soda: substitute more delicious drinks that can help you lose up to four pounds in four weeks.

There are so many more helpful tips and useful information, as well as exercise plans for beginners and intermediates.  This is what I need to focus on...exercise!! 

So what are you waiting for?!  Enter this giveaway to win this great book and a box of General Mills Multigrain Cheerios!
