What we now call granola (originally, “granula”) was invented in 1863 and started as unsweetened bran nuggets soaked in milk.

(So the “tradition” of cereal and milk started only 160 years ago.)

Today, even our official dietary guidelines label granola “a grain-based dessert” - like doughnuts, cookies and cake.

Here’s why:

Bear Naked Honey Almond Granola
- 20 grams of sugar per serving

Nature Valley Oats ’n Honey Protein Granola
- 24 grams of sugar (actually more sugar than protein)

Nature Valley Peanut Butter ’n Dark Chocolate Protein Granola
- 30 grams of sugar (same let's-put-"Protein"-in-the-name scam as above)

Compare that to:

- a cup of ice cream >> 28 grams of sugar

- a slice of chocolate cake with frosting >> 26 grams

- even a Krispy Kreme glazed doughnut has only 10 grams of sugar

My simple advice ...

Skip the granola.

Better advice ...

Have a protein-rich breakfast.

A recent study showed that a protein-rich breakfast led to naturally healthier food choices throughout the day without even trying (!) which then led to easy weight loss.

Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

One our personal training clients at our gym in Timonium just asked me a question I get virtually every day from women over 45: “How do I lose this [grabs body part]?” I told her my signature sound bite bite: “You have no more control over where you lose fat than you did over where you gained it.” I’ve heard a couple of respectable trainers say they have $ystems (clever, huh) that will burn body fat in specific parts of your body. It may sound really good and may even “work“– but only to a barely discernible degree and with a huge expenditure of your valuable time. Don’t waste your time with isolated spot reduction exercises. Compound exercises (that’s using multiple joints) are far more efficient and effective. Here's proof ... Experimenters asked one group of women to do upper body exercises only while another group did lower body exercises only. Both groups of women lost fat in the same pattern regardless of what exercises they did. Where you gain fat - and where you
