Are You Addicted to Sugar? Here’s How to Break the Cycle

It’s 3 p.m., and the sugar cravings are relentless. I’ve tried satisfying them with a handful of fresh blueberries and some chocolate-covered espresso beans that I found in the back of my desk drawer. But I’m still struggling not to sabotage my withdrawal progress with a chocolate shake from In-N-Out Burger. I fantasize about the sugar hitting my bloodstream and soothing my nerves. Instead, I stand in my pantry brainstorming possible alternatives: A pinch of coconut. A spoonful of raspberry jam. A swig of maple syrup.

 I’m in really bad shape.

We all know about the negative effects of sugar. (The list keeps growing: Weight gain, increased blood pressure and cholesterol levels — plus a higher risk for diabetes, cancer and heart disease.) So like many others, I’ve forced myself to get used to drinking my iced coffee black and watch out for added sugar in my pasta sauce and yogurt. But in a quest to lose 10 pounds, I’ve pledged to go cold turkey.

12 Brilliant Meal Prep Ideas to Free Up Your Time

When it comes to healthy eating, preparation is the key to success. (Those Boy Scouts are onto something.)

(Leaving you with more time to squeeze in your daily workout!) And hey, you’ll save money while you’re at it.
Plus, if you’re intimidated by cooking, there are tons of sneaky tricks that can help make assembling delicious meals a cinch. From easy breakfast options to methods for whipping up meals in bulk, we’ve got expert tips to set yourself up for a fuss-free and healthy week. Whip out your favorite Tupperware and get started.

1. Season meat three ways using just one pan.
If you’re sticking to lean meats like chicken, chowing down on the same flavors can get tedious after a while. Save time without boring your taste buds by preparing two or three variations of chicken at once, using aluminum foil dividers in your pan. Sriracha, BBQ, honey mustard — you can have it all.

Hillary Clinton Criticized For Keeping Her Illness A Secret

Hillary Clinton’s campaign has come under fire for keeping the Democratic presidential candidate’s illness a secret, according to her campaign advisers.

John Obi Mikel & Kelechi Iheanacho emerge as Super Eagle's Coach 'Gernot Rohr's difference makers


The new Super Eagles boss got off to a winning start in Uyo, and would do well to build the national team around his captain and Manchester City's precocious hotshot
The larger significance of Gernot Rohr ’s first game in charge lay not in what transpired within it, but in what appeared to be churning underneath-the sense of underlying mechanics. It was a luxury not afforded to either of Sunday Oliseh or Samson Siasia, both of whom were thrust into the deep end straightaway. Neither negotiated the choppy waters of qualifying particularly artfully. Their inefficiencies may have rendered this game a dead rubber, but within a wider context, the visit of Tanzania was pregnant with meaning
World Cup qualifying begins in October with a visit to Zambia who, like the Super Eagles, have floundered somewhat since an unlikely victory at the Africa Cup of Nations a few years ago.
