Losing Weight: 4 Things that work and 4 Things that don't work

I love to come across articles that really send a powerful message! But what I love most is when an article displays a great sense of humor. I laughed out loud as I read #2 of the 4 things that work when losing weight. I am definitely going to test that one out with my husband!

On a more serious note, I am sure we have all experienced 1 or maybe all 4 of the points noted as to what does not work when trying to lose weight. In fact, I am sure we have all done #3. The challenge is to not give up living but to try to live more healthy.

I hope you enjoy this article from the "Psychology of Eating" website as much as I did.

Is sugar really that bad for you?

Finally! There is hope that Spring is around the corner! I don't know about you, but I was starting to go stir crazy from such a long winter. I also noticed that with the cold weather I started to crave more of my old comfort foods which meant more SUGAR! But I stayed strong and managed my sweet tooth. How? By choosing healthier foods when my craving hit. ie. fresh fruit, dates, kefir with organic maple syrup and nuts and opting for chocolate bars with 70% cocoa or higher.  

Coincidentally, I came across this article today regarding sugar, "11 Weird Things Sugar is Doing to Your Body." Not only does it give facts and studies regarding the effects of sugar, it offers suggestions as to how to prevent possible diseases and symptoms from having too much sugar. Enjoy!
