When perusing the magazine racks at Barnes & Noble and Borders, most of my time is spent in the health and fitness section. From Men's Health to Maximum Fitness magazine, I usually give each of these publications a quick once-over. But I must admit, even though I'm a guy, I usually take time to read Women's Health (even at the risk looking like some sort of perv for reading a magazine featuring extremely fit women in spandex). By and large, the reason I find Women's Health to be such a great resource is the section on diet and nutrition. Offering tips you'd never find in musclehead mags like Flex and Iron Man, the folks at Women's Health do a fantastic job of making fit food taste great. To that point, the July edition lists several ways to upgrade junk food by adding some healthy mix-ins. Here's a sneak peak at some of the food combos they suggest:
Lucky Bran. If your weakness is a big bowl of Lucky Charms, all that sugar and lack of fiber really isn't doing much for you in the health department. Still, if you can't live without all those blue diamonds, green clovers and purple horseshoes, mix half a cup of this cereal with a half a cup of All-Bran cereal. It may not serve up a pot of gold, but this combo has 10g of fiber without losing much of its flavor.
