(NAPSI) - Vacation is often the time when women throw out all the rules and let their healthier-eating habits take a vacation, too. Needless to say, returning from vacation can often throw eating plans into a tailspin, as women attempt to get their daily menus back on track after a week or two of overindulgence.

According to a survey fielded by Kellogg Company and Braun Research, more than half of the women (56 percent) agree they don’t always feel rejuvenated after vacation.

The results of the survey spoke volumes, and the makers of Kellogg’s All-Bran cereals acted on this by putting together five ways to help you bounce back from vacation excess—five warm-weather-inspired recipes to help increase your fiber intake with every meal, allowing you to get your post-vacation menu back on track immediately.
