It also does a whole lot more. You set your daily calorie target and input the food you consume throughout the day. The watch lets you know when you have hit your goal.

Included with each watch is the guide to healthy living with a foreword by Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr. David Simon, authors of Grow Younger, Live Longer.

The pocket size guide contains information on exercise, diet and nutriition. It also features dozens of calorie tables for just about every type of food, including fast food.

The MIO fitness watch is convenient to use because it’s always on your arm. These watches come in a variety of styles to fit every lifesytle, ranging in price from $45 to $140. They are also fashionable enough that everyone can where them. Some MIO styles feature interchangeable bands in different fashion colors.

Detour Activity Bars

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

If you are looking for a great energy bar, try Detour Activity Bars. Unlike other popular protein bars, these bars were specially formulated to meet the needs of people who participate in specific activities. Whether you run, bike or lift weights, Detour has a bar for you.

Detour Runner BarFor example, the Detour Runner Bars have MicroLactin for joint health, while the Detour Biker Bars contains Rhodiola for muscle stamina and recovery.

Their Core Strength Bar is made with Ribose to maintain ATP and whey protein for muscle recovery.

These bars come in delicious flavors like Toffee Almond, Chocolate Chip Cookie and Lemon Yogurt among others. And though they taste great, they are very nutritious. Detour Activity Bars are low in fat and made from whey protein.

You can buy Detour Activity Bars at your neighborhood GNC store or purchase them online at BodyBuilding.com for $14.99 for a box of 12.

I tried these bars recently and they are nutritious, protein-rich and delicious. They honestly taste very similar to candy bars. And thankfully, they don’t have the after taste or bad texture like some other energy bars.
