Ask me about my Bits

Hey everyone! Hope you are all having a fantastic week. I just wanted to stop by and share some info with you today about ENERGYbits. As you may know, I am a Brand Ambassador and I personally use ENERGYbits and I absolutely love the product.

Here’s a few answers to some questions you might be having:

How many do you take? Take 30 bits/serving. Before you gasp in horror, remember that these algae tabs are FOOD, not pills. Think of them as you would nuts. You wouldn’t just eat one nut if you were hungry, would you? (unless you were the Target lady off SNL lol) But no, you would likely have a handful. Or, you could have a handful of 30 algae bits, for just 30 calories. With algae you also get protein, 40 nutrients and vitamins. You can chew or shallow your bits but either way, the more you take, the better you will feel. (I highly recommend shallowing the bits rather than chewing)

Why do I need to take so many? Because they are tiny. That’s why we call them “Bits”. Again, they are bits of food, not pills. And like we said, you don’t eat just one nut at a time do you? Think of them as a “bit” of a low calorie, high protein meal or snack.

What do they taste like? “Green” and a bit like nuts. We’re not actually sure if “green” is a flavour but our BITS taste green. And it’s because they have the highest concentration of chlorophyll in the world (five times more than wheat grass). ENERGYbits and SKINNYbits both have a higher concentration of protein than our other BITS as well as some Omega-3 type fats in them, so they are “chewier” than our RECOVERYbits or VITALITYbits and may even stick to your teeth a bit. But if they stick, it only lasts a few seconds and when you swish with water, it will be gone.

When do you take them? Anytime! Take them morning, noon and night. Take them all day or all night. You can take them alone or if you take them before meals, you will not only eat less, but they will aid your digestion. But since the BITS do different things, here’s an easy rule of thumb:

RECOVERYbits – Take during the evening or before bed and AFTER drinking alcohol.

ENERGYbits – Take during the day and BEFORE or during any athletic activity.

VITALITYbits and SKINNYbits – Take any time of day or night

What’s in them? One ingredient – Algae. That’s it. Nothing else! No sugar, no caffeine  no gluten, no additives, no GMO, no preservatives, no binders, nothing artificial, nothing added, nothing subtracted. Just 100% algae. 100% green, 100% healthy, 100% raw, 100% pure, organic. Straight from Mother Nature.

I could not fall asleep last night for the life of me, I was way too excited about an idea and all I wanted to do was plan it out. So falling asleep took forever, and also knowing that I was getting up earlier to have a little change in my routine, I was already exhausted.
This morning I woke up early enough that I could make and sit down to eat breakfast at home. This NEVER happens.. I’m always making oatmeal once I get to work because I don’t leave myself enough time in the morning, and rushing out the door so I’m not late. It was a nice change to be able to eat breakfast, catch up on blogs and brainstorm some ideas I’ve been having. I think on the days I don’t go to the gym in the morning, this is what I am going to do.
I’m not sure what it was about today, but by 10am I was starving so bad. My stomach was killing me. So instead of waiting any longer, I devoured my lunch.. still not full but a little better. I really need to get into a better habit of packing more for snacks and lunch at work. I’m the worst at that.

After work, I had my nose in the books for awhile. I had to get cracking on my practical for canfitpro so that I can officially get certified hopefully by the end of this month! Just waiting on an email to schedule the date right now. I figured I’d better work on it today since yesterday was spent watching a lot of tv… in my defence The Biggest Loser was on, and we had to catch up on Sunday’s episode of The Walking Dead.

I think I’m going to sleep so well tonight after the late night and early morning, I’ve sort of been dragging all afternoon. Tomorrow I have an early morning at the gym with my friend, we are doing some race training together. I convinced her to sign up for a 10K in May, the same race as my half marathon. What fun! I love trying to get people active and moving, and doing things they wouldn’t normally do on their own.

Supper tonight was a ham and cheese omelet, for some reason I had the hugest craving for one. Who doesn’t love breakfast for supper? I remember growing up that I always made omelettes for my brother and I. It sure has been awhile since I’ve made one.

And you know its getting close to easter when these babies are out! Yum
