Are Liquid Vitamins Better Than Pills?

Those big, hard, chalky vitamins that stay stuck in your throat, suck.

But since you probably need a supplement to make up for any nutrients you’re not getting from food, I suggest trying a different form of vitamins like gummies, capsules or liquid.

But liquid vitamins taste AWFUL!

Yeah, some of ’em do. But I’m of the opinion that liquid vitamins are, indeed, better than pills (which I plan to explain in a bit) and once you’re convinced, check out my tips to take liquid vitamins if you’re picky.

Foods That Curb Appetite Naturally: The 7 Most Common Hunger Busters

By Cherie King

Ever get that HUGE, insatiable appetite… typically when you don’t necessarily want it?

While there are tons of products claiming to help with that – many of which come with undesired side effects – there are also real FOODS you can munch on to help tame the ravenous beast in your tummy.

There are a lot of foods that curb the appetite, but as to not take up too much time, I’ve narrowed it down to seven, with a few bonuses.

The 7 Most Common Foods That Curb Appetite

Non-Stimulant Appetite Suppressant Boosts Metabolism Too!

By Cherie King

If you find yourself feeling insatiably hungry or you simply want to not feel hungry too soon after you’ve eaten, you could definitely benefit from an appetite suppressant.

Did you know? You have two main hormones that are responsible for your appetite. Ghrelin: tells your brain you’re hungry, and Leptin: tells your brain you’re full.

But the unfortunate part is that, in many people these signals get crossed and there are many factors that can cause this – stress being a major one.

Also, it’s been found that people who are obese tend to build up a resistance to Leptin – the one that decreases appetite and says, “Hey buddy, you’re FULL, so stop eating!“

And while there are many out there to choose from, you want a non-stimulant appetite suppressant that isn’t going to be dangerous or harmful to you any way.

Don’t worry, I understand and got you!

The non-stimulant appetite suppressant that I, personally, use is not a pill and it’s definitely not dangerous because it has very healthy, natural, good-for-you ingredients.

Does Drinking Coffee Help You Lose Weight?

By Cherie King

Someone once asked…

“If I drink coffee every day, will I lose weight?”

Does Drinking Coffee Help You Lose Weight?

Well, let me ask you this…
(and I promise I’m not trying to be a smarta$$)

Do YOU drink coffee?

And if so, have you lost any weight as a result of drinking coffee without ANY dietary or lifestyle (exercise, etc.) change?

Do you know of anyone who has?

Many people drink coffee that is loaded with (refined) sugar, fancy-schmancy-flavored creamer, and caramel on-the-bottom & drizzled on the top of whipped cream.

So even if there WAS something in coffee that caused weight loss, all of those added fixings would definitely negate it, wouldn’t it?

But what if the coffee didn’t have all of that stuff added to it?

Then would it help you lose weight?

Well, what my research and personal experience has shown me is that, for the most part… [Read more…] about Does Drinking Coffee Help You Lose Weight?
