Discover The Secret Life of Pets with BigG Cereals #BigGPets

As pet parents, we often wonder what Balty does when we are not home. This is actually a question that even our little kids have asked us. When we leave the house, we try to have the TV on for his favorite pet programming so it is not so quiet and he isn’t ‘alone’.

Now, with the film, The Secret Life of Pets, in theaters, the kids are even more curious what happens when we aren’t home and they have come up with a few ideas. According to Ellie, when we leave, our house turns into a party zone for all of the other pets in the neighborhood.

The Secret Life of Pets and Big G Cereals

Thanks to the partnership with The Secret Life of Pets, specially marked boxes of General Mills Big G Cereals (Honey Nut Cheerios, Cheerios Multi Grain, Lucky Charms, Trix and Cocoa Puffs) will feature free character collectibles, including: Max the pampered terrier mix, Duke the massive mutt, Snowball the leader of the flushed pets, Buddy the sarcastic dachshund, Gidget the naïve, but gutsy Pomeranian and Chloe the fat cat.

Big G cereals are a staple in our home and a family breakfast favorite!

Ellie had a lot of fun creating a pet house for all of her new collectible toys.

Of course, once Ellie was all done painting, it was time to play with her new friends from The Secret Life of Pets and get to know them.

I kid you not, she played with them for hours. She played in the house, on the porch, in the yard, and even invited a friend over to join her.

These are definitely Ellie’s favorite find inside a cereal box and she has asked that we buy more cereal so she has 2 full sets! (You can find these specially marked boxes of General Mills Big G Cereals on shelves at retailers nationwide now through July, while supplies last).

Of course, now that she knows all about The Secret Life of Pets, we will be heading to the movie theater this weekend to see the film.

Big G Cereals & Weight Management GIVEAWAY – CLOSED

Anne Younger Leave a comment

As you may know, I have been working hard at shedding pounds and getting healthy. So far I have lost 29 pounds, quit smoking, and given up some of my favorite not good for me foods.

One food that I love is cereal and there are many different flavors out there that I enjoy. My top favorite though….Lucky Charms. I love me some marshmallows! However, I am a big fan of Multi-Grain Cheerios as well but I use them as a snack item.

Since weight management is more than just watching the calories, I have to make sure that I am getting the proper nutrients from the foods I am eating and by eating Big G cereals I know that I am including whole grain and nutrient-dense foods into my body.

Every Big G cereal contains at least 8 grams of whole grains per serving, with more than 20 Big G cereals delivering 16 grams or more. (At least 48 grams of whole grain are recommended daily.) A diet high in whole grain has been found to help with diabetes and weight management, and may help reduce the risk of heart disease and certain cancers.

Frequent cereal eaters tend to have healthier body weights (and that includes people who choose sweetened cereals).Cereal eaters consume less fat, less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters. Cereal consumption as part of an overall healthy lifestyle may play a role in maintaining a healthy body mass index.

According to “The Belly Fat Prescription,” by Dr. Travis Stork, MD and host of The Doctors, a large amount of research has shown that belly fat carries more health risks than fat stored elsewhere. In his book, Dr. Stork also offers several additional “Laws of Leanness,” including:
If you love to graze: Nosh all day long on your favorite fruits and vegetables to help keep your belly full

If you love fatty foods: discover which fats can actually strip away pounds

If you love soda: substitute more delicious drinks that can help you lose up to four pounds in four weeks.

You can visit Whole Grain Nation for more tips and information about the benefits of whole grain and how Big G cereals can be a convenient and tasty way to help you manage your weight by incorporating whole grain into your day.

For those of my readers who are learning to manage their weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle, take a moment and enter to win a copy of “The Lean Belly Prescription: The fast and foolproof diet and weight-loss plan from America’s top urgent-care doctor” by Dr. Travis Stork (Host of The Doctors) and a VIP coupon for one Big G cereal!

Entering to win is easy!

Here’s how to enter!
