| in dieting, but if you want to lose a quick 5-10 lbs in | | | | and allergic reactions. I have a family member who is |
| two weeks without changing your actual food diet, | | | | sensitive (intolerant) to aspartame.The use of artificial |
| you may want to consider this strategy. Truthfully, it | | | | sweeteners is mostly accompanied by increased food |
| could be one of the healthiest decisions you ever | | | | consumption. Studies have shown those who |
| make for you body. So here it goes.DO NOT DRINK | | | | consume these sweeteners often eat more food |
| SOFT DRINKS! And stay off the other drinks that | | | | than someone who doesn't. Are you trying to lose |
| have sugars in them. I know some of you are | | | | weight and feel better? You have to get off of this |
| probably crying right now. If you don't drink these | | | | stuff!These sweeteners are not only found in soft |
| now, BRAVO! If the drink has natural sugars in them, | | | | drinks, but, chewing gum, ice cream, tea mixes, and |
| it's okay. Orange juice, apple juice and any kind of | | | | many other products. Read the labels in your food. |
| fruit juice is fine, but stay away from all of the | | | | People are fooled into thinking they are buying a |
| others in the grocery store that have other stuff in | | | | low-cal healthy treat. You are only avoiding 15 calories |
| them. If it says concentrate, it's okay, but the label | | | | from a teaspoon of table sugar or honey, when using |
| should not have any other kinds of garbage in it | | | | a sweetener that is 1 to 2 calories. Does this even |
| (especially corn syrup). This is serious. These drinks | | | | make sense? .............NOT!One more thing about |
| are bad calories, full of stuff that makes you crash | | | | caffeine, if you are fatigued all the time, the caffeine |
| everyday and add weight! You may not know that | | | | could very well be the cause of the problem. Adrenal |
| you are gaining weight just by drinks, but you are! | | | | stress is common in many people who have to deal |

| I said it; plain water).If you are wondering why you | | | | will adversely affect your adrenal system. This is a |
| feel so bad all the time, just try for a few weeks | | | | topic we will discuss in the near future. So just get |
| without these and see what happens. If you are a | | | | off of the caffeine and go decaf with coffee and |
| caffeine addict, we need to talk.Caffeine addicts | | | | tea. AND NO SOFT DRINKS OR SUGARED DRINKS |
| should start getting rid of soft drinks with caffeine | | | | JUICES!Some of you may hate me for saying all of |
| and then get yourself off of the caffeine free stuff. | | | | this; wondering how you are going to do this, but |

| After you develop a dependency on something that | | | | affect your well being and your body, you will begin |
| is as addictive as caffeine, you might feel even | | | | to see them as the enemy. My mother lost 10 lbs in |
| worse after you stop drinking them for a week or | | | | two weeks by not drinking sweet tea everyday and |
| more, depending on how dependent you were. You | | | | cutting out diet soft drinks! She said before she felt |
| have to stop drinking them all together now if | | | | bad during the evenings after work and had real |
| eventually you want to feel better.If you live in the | | | | slumps during the day. My mother is very good about |
| South, I know how you love that sweet tea, but | | | | nutritional choices and just her beverage choices |
| that has to go also. An occasional glass is not a big | | | | were the reason for so much fatigue!Luckily, the |
| deal because tea, after all tea has many healthy | | | | consumer trend is going for healthy these days and I |
