BBQ Bliss Soy Chips For Beautiful Hair!

Introduction

As my friends will tell you, I'm addicted to my work at HairBoutique.com. They will also tell you not to feel sorry for me when I work 24/7, because I absolutely adore my time answering AskKaren emails, writing hair and beauty articles, interviewing celebrity hairdressers or chatting with beauty editors on the phone. I'm totally in heaven most of the time. Of course there is a downside to all the work disguised as merriment. I tend to channel SuperWoman inappropriately and skimp on enough sleep, regular exercise or super healthy eating.

Yes, I know. I preach eating a good diet for creating luscious long locks. And I do practice what I preach by religiously taking HairTopia hair vitamins and supplementing with additional essential fatty acids (EFAs), cell salts and an array of herbs. I also avoid as many bad-for-you-foods as possible. Heck, I even gave up my last vice - Starbucks, almost one year ago. Yeah OK. I did cheat and have one eggnog latte (on Christmas Eve) but for the most part, I am 100% decaffeinated. I also don't smoke and avoid alcohol, although this is also challenging because I live in one of the beer capitols of the world.

I must confess that my biggest problem is making the time to shop for healthy foods and then cooking and eating them at regular intervals in a calm and peaceful manner. Truth be told I would much rather eat with one hand while I type on my keyboard with the other. Not only is this terrible for the longevity of my keyboard, it is not positive behavior for maintaining my below-the-waist hair.

Recently I had the fabulous opportunity to interview Dr. Aaron Tabor, CEO and founder of Revival Soy products. After chatting with the charming and brilliant doctor, I decided to try some of the Revival Soy products. They sounded really healthy and Dr. Tabor promised me that they were "delicious". And yes, I was a little skeptical but willing to try them.

After the box of Revival Soy products arrived in their impressively pristine white, shrink wrapped (for freshness) boxes, they sat outside the door of my office along with my normal three foot piles of mail, fashion magazines, Wall Street Journals and sample hair and the stacks of beauty products, hair accessories and shampoo samples that are constantly sent to me.

Burst Of Brilliant BBQ Flavor

As usual, one morning when I was zooming into the office I realized that I had forgotten to eat breakfast. I usually try to suck down some oatmeal or scrambled egg whites but the road to my food hell is paved with good intentions.

Unfortunately I don't have a hot plate in my car or that would help me get a healthier daily breakfast, although I think the Dallas police might frown on me cooking while driving.

When I rushed by office I spied the beautiful white Revival Soy boxes. The first one that I opened had the BBQ Bliss Baked Soy chips. While it's probably not what you might think would be a great breakfast food, it was what I grabbed first.

I was intrigued by the vibrant orange packaging. Stopping to read the package I noticed that the BBQ Bliss chips contain 70% less fat than potato chips and fewer carbs. Could anything this good for me really taste yummy?

The answer is a resounding yes. In fact, the first BBQ Bliss chip exploded into my mouth with a vibrant taste of BBQ. Was I hallucinating? Nope. These chips are scrumptious. Crunchy and delicious with absolutely zero aftertaste of any kind. The only problem with the chips is that they are so great, I wanted to eat more. But I controlled myself with the thought that I would add them to my permanent heart-healthy snack list for future munching.

I'm sure Dr. Tabor is fainting somewhere at the thought of me eating Soy Protein Chips for breakfast. Which is really not what they were intended for - I promise. But I suspect the good doctor would rather I eat the luscious Revival Soy BBQ chips than a signature Dunkin Donuts product.

After my spectacular introduction to the Revival Soy I made an end run towards the Revival Soy healthy bars and drinks, which make perfect breakfast fare. I will be writing a future article about my experiences with all of the Revival Soy products. So stay tuned for my experiences in the Soy Zone.

BBQ Bliss For Beautiful Hair

I have been a big believer in the benefits of soy for healthy, strong hair for years. In one of my signature articles that I first published in 2001 I specifically mentioned that "soy protein has been found to be helpful in stimulating hair growth". I also noted in Hair Growing Tips which has been read by millions of people since it was first published, that "one study of the results of soy on the hair found that it not only strengthened the hair but caused it to grow."

Although I originally pointed out that tofu is a great source of soy, I have now found an even better source - Revival Soy.

Dr. Tabor's mom, who is the reason that Revival Soy was created in the first place, noticed significant improvements in her hair after drinking the Revival Soy Chocolate Dream shake.

Indeed, Dr. Tabor confirmed that after regular use of Revival Soy products for three months, there is a significant improvement in hair roughness, manageability and overall assessment. Improvement in those same hair factors were even more significant after six months of Revival Soy use.

Dr. Tabor's Take

When I contacted him about my BBQ Bliss experiences, Dr. Tabor reminded me, in his gracious and charming way, that the Revival Soy BBQ Bliss chips are simply amazing because they contain 7 grams of soy protein (which meets the FDA's heart health claim criteria), no trans fat and 70% less fat than potato chops. And they taste truly yummy (my words). Not only do they make a great weight loss snack at 105 calories for an entire bag, they are packed with protein to support better hair, skin and nails.

Dr. Tabor pointed out that they are "the perfect shopping buddy" to pull out of your purse for a burst of energizing protein". Designed to fit in with any of the popular diet plans, they work even better when combined with Revival bars or shakes as meal supplements with multivitamins. The chips are also awesome at helping to curb between meal cravings.

Since the Revival Soy chips come in eleven great flavors, you can order the variety pack at: http://www.revivalsoy.com/products/chips/index.html?pid=hb1

The most popular favors are BBQ Bliss (see I knew I had great taste buds), Lightly Salted Sunshine, Rev-It-Up Ranch and Oh My! Apple Pie!

Clinical Trials Prove Benefits

Sixty women snacked on Revival Soy chips, as part of a healthy diet, and lost an average of 7.3 pounds in just four weeks. The Revival Soy plan is simple to follow. Simply replace all unhealthy, high calorie in-between meal and late-night snacks with Revival Baked Pasta Soy Chips, while reducing high-calorie drinks and high fat foods. So step away from the Snickers and see the results.

Dr. Tabor notes, "The study shows a safe weight loss rate of 1-2 pounds per week." He also pointed out "many research studies support claims that soy consumption may help you lose weight simply be helping you feel more full. Combined with exercise and healthy dietary choices, soy makes a powerful combination for weight loss. While there is no "magic bullet" for weight loss, healthy nutritional choices are vital to any weight loss plan.

With no trans fats and 70% less fat than potato chips, the Revival Soy chips are a great choice for heath-conscious people".

Intelligent Snacking

After my initial experience with the BBQ Bliss, I tucked them into my office in my secret desk compartments and will be eating them for mid-afternoon healthy snacks to beat back those 3:00 pm munchies. I have to confess that I adore the fact that I can eat them with one hand while I am downloading files. And they taste sooooooooooo good. The fact that the product has been proven to help with my hair, nails and skin just makes the product even more fabulous.

Happy Snacking!

Summary

Revival Baked Soy Chips are a great source of energy from soy protein. Although they are not designed as a substitute for breakfast (my bad) they are a fabulous snack and much better for your body, skin, hair and health than the real BBQ potato chip deal.
