Attention late night mindless eaters! Here are my top 5 favorite late night snacks that you can mindlessly eat while watching TV without gaining weight!
I saw this in my inbox this morning and thought I’d share with you something I’ve been preaching for a long time, but still get asked why I don’t like Splenda.
Artificial Sweeteners
Think artificial sweeteners are a diet “do” because they contain no calories or sugar? Think again. Studies suggest that regular consumption of artificial sweeteners like aspartame (found in diet sodas) may actually lead to weight gain, says Rachel Beller, RD, founder of the Beller Nutritional Institute. It turns out they can trigger our bodies to crave sweets and sugar. Beller advises cutting back gradually: “If you were using three packets in a cup of tea or coffee, for two weeks cut down to two packets, then cut down to just one packet for the next couple of weeks, and then only half a packet.” Once you’ve retrained your taste buds, the next move should be a switch to a natural sweetener such as stevia or coconut crystals.
Losing weight is simple: Eat less and exercise more. Why that’s so difficult for so many people is embedded deep in the human psyche. http://bit.ly/y2ez6b
According to this study, I should probably be destined for obesity. Take matters into your own hands! Don’t let these studies give you an excuse to be lazy when it comes to making decisions.
What exactly are you getting when you buy a “natural” cereal? According to a new report, pesticides, GMOs and industrial waste. This article is from Rodale
1. Kashi GoLean
Most corn and soy ingredients come from genetically engineered crops, which have never even been proven safe. In fact, scientists have linked GMOs to serious health problems. In Cornucopia Institute tests, researchers detected GMO material in 100 percent of the soy in Kashi GoLean. “It is clear from the percentages that this was not accidental contamination, but deliberate use of GMOs,” says Vallaeys.
Kashi is owned by food industry giant Kellogg Company, which also markets Bear Naked, a non-organic granola. The Cornucopia Institute also points out that the cereal-making giant has no policy against the use of toxic pesticides, hexane, a harmful solvent used in non-organic soybean processing, and GMO ingredients.
