Outsmart Your Cravings
Sneaky snack tricks to keep your cravings from sabotaging your diet
By Merritt Watts Prevention Magazine
Research finally proves it: Food cravings are a fact of life. At the start of a Tufts University study of cut calories, 91% of dieters desired decadent foods. After 6 months of cut calories, the same percentage still had food cravings.

On days when I really want a red holiday starbucks cup, but do not want all the heavy calories, I run home and make a pot of my favorite winter drink. I love it as a snack or in the mornings with some added espresso. Its only about 150 calories a cup and 3 grams of fat.

The holidays should be about friends, family, and a healthy portion of pumpkin pie, not guilt over gaining weight. Dr. Grigory Sadkhin, weight loss expert and founder of The Sadkhin Complex, shared with us a few ways to go from Thanksgiving through New Years without gaining a pound (or a guilty conscience).

Had the Mocha Chiller at Dazbog's today... and you know what, It was REALLY good! It was the first time I'd tried anything from the local coffee shop (I usually get Starbucks), but I think this was much better!

I was reading through all my fitness blogs this morning, and stumbled across these great fitness tips created by Valerie Waters. If you have never heard of Valerie Waters, she is personal trainer to stars such as Jennifer Garner, Jessica Biel, Cindy Crawford, Richard Gere, Elizabeth Berkley, Benicio Del Toro, Jim Carey, etc... She has also put together one of the best workout programs, The Red Carpet Ready System.

Starbucks is my guilty pleasure. So I figured if I look up enough bad stuff about it maybe I will stay away from it?
How many calories does a 24 oz.
