Realizing how influential carbohydrates can be on blood sugars, I swore myself to celibacy from baked goods long ago. However, my closed-door policy underwent peace talks after I had the pleasure of speaking with Ramsey Makar, founder of Miracle Muffins. Miracle Muffins are diabetic friendly premium muffin mixes with a plethora of wholesome goodness. Fresh baked, every time -- all you have to do is add water!
Miracle is a strong word. However, when you see the impact these muffins have on blood sugar -- you'll agree it's miraculous. Ramsey wanted to create a muffin that his diabetic mother could enjoy without the rise in her sugar. He concocted a recipe that contains generous amounts of fiber, healthy soy protein, low-glycemic sweeteners, and is very low in fat. Another fact for good measure -- the muffins fit comfortably into the diet programs of Weight Watchers, Atkins, South Beach, LA Weight Loss, Nutra System and Zone.
I saved the best part for last -- the flavors! Each muffin is fresh-baked so you spare nothing on taste. The flavors available are: banana, blueberry, black cherry, chai spiced black tea, cinnamon green tea, chocolate black cherry and gingerbread. The muffin mixes have two versions based on the sweeteners used -- Spnenda or Xylitol. It says something profound about a product that actually helped an Olympic athlete lose weight! When you visit the Miracle Muffin site, take a peek at the You Tube video, read the mesmerizing nutrition details, and indulge yourself in the Miracle Muffin experience. You'll be a believer, too!
1. Mr. Makar looks as if he has been eating too many of his muffins rather than selling them. I find it strange how he talks about his mother being an inspiration for him to make the muffins since she has I.R.D.(aka Type 2 Diabetes), when he himself, looks as if he might be on the same pathway to establishing a similar fate for himself. As for the statement, "It says something profound about a product that actually helped an Olympic athlete lose weight"! The implication that the muffins helped her lose weight is MISLEADING and a marketing ploy. What had helped her lose wight was the expenditure of calories from aerobic exercise. In fact, anyone who trains vigorously in any sport on a recreational or professional level actually needs MORE of a carbohydrate load rather than less.
So again, all of this is just marketing manipulation to help people spend their money.
