How to Get Rid of Your Soda Addiction
Soft drinks of all types—whether sweetened with sugar or artificial sweeteners—are extremely bad for your body. Regular sodas are loaded with sugar, especially in the form of high fructose corn syrup, which is the worst kind for your body to handle, metabolically. I believe, based on all of the recent scientific evidence, that the large quantities of fructose people are consuming today is a major contributing factor to chronic disease, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. You would be wise to avoid all types of soda, no matter what type of sweetener they contain.

Here’s Proof That Exercise Changes Everything
While most of us are probably aware of the powerful benefits of regular exercise, we’re clearly not all convinced: Just about 20 percent of American adults over the age of 18 meet the government’s recommended guidelines when it comes to physical activity, according to a CDC report.
The average adult needs at least two hours and 30 minutes of activity each week, if it’s at a moderate intensity level, like brisk walking. Up the intensity to jogging or running, and you can aim for at least 75 minutes a week. Add in a couple of strengthening sessions a week, and you can expect to build muscle, protect your heart, avoid obesity and even live longer.
That’s not to say that shorter bouts of exercise aren’t worth it. Even just in 10-minute increments, exercise can make a marked difference in health and well-being. But those of us who make exercise part of their regular routine — without overdoing it — are certainly reaping the biggest benefits.
Primal Fridge Cakes
This recipe is inspired by Holly Redman’s original Primal Fridge Cakes.
We substituted some of the ingredients like Stevia powder instead of xylitol, peanut butter instead of cashew nut butter, etc.
Not ultra low carb but it is one of those deserts that’s well worth it as a treat?
