EnergyBits - Giveaway!!

I grew up on a farm in Rural Saskatchewan.. so lifestyles that include lots of running, gym workouts and "supplements" as some would use is not what I grew up with. However, this is a lifestyle I want to have, am working to having and am mentoring my children to engage as well.

I am learning what is best to eat for my body, not just for weight loss but for fuelling an active body. I have learnt to think that food is more than just to taste well ( even if I still have the occasional Sausage and Egger.. what can I say?!!)  I have seen a lot of people on twitter talking about EnergyBits.. how they are fuelled with EnergyBits, how they rely on them for a natural source of energy to get through their day and their work outs. I struggle with energy and usually chalk it up to not having motivation. I then just make myself conquer it, but this is a tiring way to live most days!

With careers, children, being a wife and trying to be active and work into a new body composition... Energy is Lacking!! I am a late night gal and hate early mornings.. Thanks to some twitter conversations with Dawn (@inkdgirl55) I learnt that I have a way of kicking this issue! She herself is a professional mom and has went through a lifestyle change that includes very high athleticism. So she definitely knows what it takes from being overweight to being an athlete. Dawn linked me into EnergyBits through Twitter and Jonathan was kind enough to send me a sample of their product.

So I got my sample filled with information! There is nothing better than a company who provides detailed information about all of the products they sell. The tin held 3.5 or so days of algae bits. I got the EnergyBits product ( there is 4 types EnergyBits, RecoveryBits, VitalityBits, SkinnyBits)

Now I once again am a carnivore trying to find more plant based foods to increase my diet.. and Algae definitely is a stretch for me. The information recommended to take 20-30 bits a day minimum and it is to increase your energy, make you feel full longer and generally make you feel better. ( this is just a minor glimpse of the benefits of EnergyBits please find more here www.energybits.com) Well I opened up the tin.. and thought instantly.. what the heck am I doing! These algae bits have a slight smell.. so I thought ok.. Ill pop one in my mouth and chew away. ( READ INSTRUCTIONS!! Its best to swallow these little guys.. ) Yes chewing this algae bit was definitely not the best moment of the day. So I read a little more.. and I am to swallow them because they do have a distinct taste. ( I learnt the hard way)

So 20 bits in.. its about 4 pm and I should have had a snack by now.. But I'm full. I just took 20 calories of algae that hosts 60% ( give or take) protein. I have filled myself up on 20 calories.. AMAZING! I hit the gym that night and was able to get through my whole workout without dropping the kettle bell at the end in my swings. ( by this time of my work out I have lifted so much weight I want to sleep not swing more!) I was up till 1130 pm that night not an ounce of exhaustion!

In 3 days, yes only 3 days.. I found my increased energy had me going going going! I could get up refreshed in the morning, didn't need pots of coffee! Made it through workouts harder than the week before with less exhaustion and when I slept.. I was rested! I also didn't over eat... in fact I had to make myself eat my fuel to get to my caloric intake!

I was very skeptical about eating algae.. However, I feel like a blob now that my sample has been ingested and am patiently ( not at all actually) waiting for my EnergyBits to arrive!





Jonathan and EnergyBits were so kind to give me a sample and we would like to share such a great product with someone else! If anyone was a skeptic it was me.. and now I sit at my desk with my 3rd cup of coffee.. out of EnergyBits and jonesing for them!
