Are You Addicted to Sugar? 14 Mind-Blowing Facts

Sugar Addict

If you tend to overeat, have food cravings you can’t control, need more and more food in order to boost your mood, are an emotional eater, feel sluggish after eating, or have work/social problems due to your relationship with food (i.e are overweight/irritable), you may be addicted to sugar.

We found this interesting graphic with facts about sugar over at MindGreenBody. Two of the greatest books we’ve ever read, which lay out a diet plan to actually deal with sugar addiction (even allowing you to eat fast food in the beginning as long as you’re getting protein with each meal), are “Potatoes Not Prozac” (most recent and recommended) and “The Sugar Addict’s Total Recovery Program” by Kathleen DesMaisons. They are worth the read, and you won’t believe the difference you feel once you’ve kicked your sugar addiction. Everyday press is finally backing up DesMaison’s reference to research that shows that sugar affects the same part of the brain as heroin.

Top Sexting Tips!

 

How to Sext

Ladies, please abide by The Golden Rule of Sexting: Don’t send anything to anyone who you don’t trust fully and completely, and don’t send anything to them that they haven’t already sent to you (i.e. photos etc)!

That being said, here are some sexting guidelines we gleaned from Canadian Living:

1) Take things slow! Ease into things, just like sex! Be suggestive at first, not explicit. Always take your time before pressing “send” so you don’t accidentally sext the wrong person!

2) Say things like, “I want to…” — don’t say “we never…” or “you never…”

3) Stroke the ego! This gets men hot like nothing else.

4) Even if you trust your partner wholeheartedly, it still might be best to leave your face out of photos. It’ll leave something to the imagination! If you’re worried about being recognized by an incidental third party, cover any tattoos with a temporary tattoo, or add one where you don’t have one.

5) Don’t send sexts to someone who doesn’t want them! That’s the biggest turn-off, and surest way to get yourself in trouble.

6) Once you’ve enjoyed your sexts, delete them — unless you don’t mind your children or a phone thief seeing them!

Have You Ever Tried Samba?

Spice Up Your Exercise Routine!  

Samba originated in Brazil, and is know for its sexy, hip-shaking moves.  It was — and still is — a festival dance celebrated during the street festivals and celebrations, such as Carnival!  First introduced in the U.S. in a Broadway play called “Street Carnival” in the late 1920s, the adventurous style and peppy mood of samba has kept it alive and popular to this day.

So turn up your favorite South American music and feel the energy as you shake your booty!  Visit the Samba Body YouTubeChannel for some great videos to get started!
