Do you know that a recent research showed that using artificial sweeteners might be related to weight gain? Amazing isn’t it?
The research was conducted by a team of scientists from Purdue University in USA and was published in the journal Behavioral Neuroscience.
 In the experiment were used two groups of rats – each fed with yoghurt. The first group was fed with artificial sweetened yoghurt and the second one with crystal sugar sweetened yoghurt. After that each group was given food – plenty of it. The results were amazing:
The group of rats fed with yoghurt sweetened with artificial sweetener gained more weight and put on more fat compared to the other group.
Imagine if you drink your favorite morning coffee sweetened with saccharin and then eat up a lot of the chocolates and sweets from the local vending machine. Eventually you gain weight, whereas your closest coworker drinks her coffee with sugar and stays the same weight. Sound terrible, but it could be true…
It is all explained by the theory for sweet expectations:

When I started my cinnamon recipes section month and a half ago I didn’t expect so many people would show interest in it. Now a few weeks later I shall continue with more cinnamon recipes for tasty and healthy desserts.
Cinnamon Oranges
This is a very simple dessert that can be prepared easily any time of the year. Takes only 10 minutes to prepare and serve. As you might be guessing oranges taste best in the winter when they are at their peak, hence the cinnamon orange dessert will have better flavor if prepared in the winter. Lucky you, cause you can try it immediately  and it will taste best.
Ingredients:
4 servings
4 navel oranges
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar or (1-2) tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preparation:
Peel the oranges and remove the white pith from them. Use sharp knife to cut each orange into 5 or 6 slices and arrange them on 4 plates. Mix the orange and lemon juices, add the sugar and cinnamon and whisk. Poor 1 spoon over each orange slice pile and you are ready to serve.
Variation:
Instead of 1 tablespoon of sugar you can use (1-2) tablespoons of honey.
Nutrition Facts:
 This dessert is low in calories, sodium, and cholesterol with 86 calories, 2 mg sodium, no cholesterol, no fat, 1 g protein, 3 g fiber, and 258 mg potassium per serving.
Rich in Vitamin C – you get 150% of you daily value. Good for the heart.
Bon Appetit!

Honestly since honey and cinnamon for weight loss has become my most popular post, I think cinnamon and honey have become my little obsession (in the good meaning of the word).
Every time I was looking for cinnamon recipes I turned out that almost all cinnamon recipe also needed honey. Strange isn’t it, but having in mind the great weight loss mixture they make, it is not so surprising after all.
Well, this is exactly what happened the last time I was searching for cinnamon recipes, in particularly for cinnamon baked apples:
I found a few very similar recipes all with the same ingredients but with different preparation methods. Anyway, I just though finally I found a recipe with cinnamon and no honey, when all of a sudden it turned out that the last recipe needed a honey topping just before serving. It sounded so tempting and easy that I not only had great time preparing them, but also had an amazing experience eating them
The great news for all dieting people is that you get a nutrition bonus with every baked apple you eat 20% of your average daily fiber intake. This makes this delicious side dish a great source of fibers. But that’s not all – you also get the cinnamon and honey mixture (not as a drink this time). Well, the amounts of honey and cinnamon here are way lower than the amounts in the drink, but yet they work the same way, after all the cinnamon, honey and apple are all healthy, right
Here is the cinnamon honey apple recipe:

If you are searching for an easy to follow diabetic diet plan, then you are one of the few people searching for diabetic diets online. It’s not surprising, though…
Perhaps you either haven’t come across the Medifast Plus for Diabetics diet plan – the Diabetic 5 & 1 plan, or …
because diabetes is a serious disease and people diagnosed Type 2 diabetes are more likely to use conventional medication and listen to their doctors’ advices.
Patients diagnosed Type 2 diabetes prefer to see face to face the diabetes specialists recommending them the diabetic diet menus and meal plans that they should follow, instead of reading some online reviews for miraculous and expensive diabetes cures.
It’s understandable why people don’t trust too much to the information on that topic – it’s unreliable and makes it really hard to separate the truth from the trash.

As a matter of fact, I can’t stay from 14 to 30 days in a weight loss clinic or visit a weight loss center 3 times per week to lose weight. May be it works well for some of us, but I prefer the same foods delivered to my home or office at a low cost. (more…)

The idea of the high protein diets is to take about 50%-70% of proteins, very low fats and carbs.
Why is it so important to take more proteins when dieting?
Proteins are about 15% of the body mass of an average person. Our body tissue is built of protein molecules. Muscles, cartilages, ligaments, skin and hair – these are all mainly protein materials. You must have proteins in your diet, otherwise instead of fat you will lose muscle mass. (more…)
