The Tips
Don't have time to watch the video (or it won't load)? Here is the rundown on the tips included:
» Processed foods with sodium can cause high blood pressure and bloating.
» Enjoy nutrient rich snacks to boost your metabolism. Try nuts.
» 1 pack of raw brown sugar = 16 calories
» Avoid corn syrup and hydrogenated oils.
» Place a rainbow of fruits and vegetables at eye-level in your fridge.
» Organic fruits and veggies have a higher antioxidant level.
» Give up mayo for hummus or mustard.
» Trade diet soda for seltzer or unsweetened tea.
» Keeping a diet journal makes you less likely to stray.
New To Me
Here is something that I learned from the video that I did not know before: Artificial sweeteners are very sweet, which can cause you to crave even more sweet things. I despise artificial sweeteners, so I don't ever use them, but that was interesting information nonetheless.

I have stayed away from high fructose corn syrup as much as possible and I feel much better. Soda is bad! Drink water.

Sacs, diet soda's never been good for you!
Polly, I, too like unsweetened tea, especially if I can add a little lemon or honey.
PC, I drink a lot of water, and soda rarely. My husband also said he started feeling much better when he stopped drinking so much soda, his stomach stopped acting up so much.

Just because the label says "diet" doesn;t mean it will be good for you

Great tips! Thanks for bullet pointing them! I couldn't watch the video because I was at work with no speakers.
"Avoid corn syrup and hydrogenated oils." Yeah! I don't care what those stupid High Fructose Corn Syrup commercials say!
