Foods You Should Avoid When On A Low-Carb Diet - Health Digest

Image
It's not a shocker that honey is on the "bad for low-carb diets" list. After all, as Everyday Health explains, not only is honey sweeter than granulated sugar, but it also has more carbs. It's also higher in calories, so this sweet treat might not be good for low-carb dieters trying to lose weight. As for the paleo diet, honey, as well as candy and sugar, are definitely not on the menu (via Everyday Health). And calories aside, those going on a low-carb diet to help with blood sugar concerns like diabetes might want to steer clear of honey.  Studies cited in Springer note that honey might help lower blood sugar and raise insulin levels, both of which in theory could be beneficial for diabetics. However, it's worth noting that they were conducted on animals, not humans. Additionally, the studies used honey in conjunction with diabetes medications. So, if you're on a low-carb diet or are just adjusting your diet for your diabetes, it's crucial t...

Baked fish in potatoes to recreate at home - The Manila Times

Image
Galicia, located in Spain's Northern part, prides itself with its seafood produce. In one of Mark Wein's episodes in YouTube, he featured Michelin-starred restaurant D'berto and its sumptuous offerings to the discerning palate. In particular, what caught my eye is a particular fish using seabream. The restaurant uses seabream (or bacoco in Tagalog) but other popular fishes are also used such as seabass (called lubina in Spanish or apahap in Tagalog) which has a similar dish called Lubina al horno (aptly translated as baked fish) or lubina al horno con patate (or baked fish with potatoes). The dish looked beautiful, appetizing and, most especially, can be easily prepared — something that I love about Spanish cooking. In fact, a lot of their dishes are quite easy to make that it can be served both for weekdays, weekends or anytime when you have an occasion. ...

This Easy Ginger Lemonade Is Basically Lemon Water 2.0, and It’s Packed with Anti-Inflammatory Benefits - Well+Good

Image
G rowing up, my mom would always bring me a can of Ginger Ale to glug down when I was dealing with an upset stomach. Although this was likely a bit of the placebo effect at play—let's be honest, that soda can probably contained no fresh ginger whatsoever—it still managed to make me think that I felt a whole lot better. And hey, that was all that mattered. Thanks, mom. Nowadays, finding drinks made with a substantial amount of fresh ginger (or simply making one at home from scratch) is super easy—and definitely the more science-backed option when it comes to calming a belly ache. So, when we discovered this three-ingredient ginger lemonade recipe by Minimalist Baker, we knew we had the new powerful tonic for calming those pesky tummy aches. To learn all the benefits of this refreshing and super hydrating beverage, we spoke with Amy Shapiro, MS, RD, CDN, a registered dietitian and the founder and director of Real Nutrition. She explains why ginger and lemons make the perfect co...

“I Lost £2,000”: Inside The Murky World Of Multi-Level Marketing Schemes - Refinery29

Image
Designed by Dionne Pajarillaga. When Brina, 28, left her job in 2019, it wasn't an easy time. Unable to work full-time due to personal and mental health challenges, her future looked uncertain. Although she'd never previously considered network marketing sales (also known as person-to-person marketing), she became interested in the health and cosmetics brand Arbonne after she was introduced to it by an acquaintance from her yoga studio.  "She invited me to a session for prospective members and I thought it might be a good way to earn some extra money," she says. "Everyone seemed really nice but I soon realised it wasn't what it seemed."  Network marketing, also known as multi-level marketing (MLM), is a method of selling products directly to consumers through social media and local networks using independent sales representatives. MLM businesses differentiate themselves from pyramid schemes, which are illegal scams focused on recruiting...

The 15 Best Foundations for Acne-Prone Skin in 2022 - MarieClaire.com

Image
So, you have acne. Welcome to the club—breakouts are 100 percent normal, and something that the majority of the population experiences. While there's no need to cover up your acne or blast it with acne spot treatments (you do you), we're happy to report that the best foundations for acne-prone skin will disguise redness, blur over texture, and look like an extension of your skin—not like a mask.  Perhaps the most important factor when picking a foundation for acne is a non-comedogenic formula. "It's not necessarily right to say that all foundations are bad [for acne]," says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dhaval Bhanusali. "I'd just recommend looking for ones that are non-comedogenic and don't have any ingredients that can clog pores or lead to breakouts." Once you have your trusty formula in hand, it's time to whip out your go-to brush or beauty blender—expert application is key for a flawless finish. "It's all about pati...

After Jeffree posted his launch video, the comments section was filled with viewers claiming that Jeffree didn't seem excited about the launch at all.
