But even with so many turtles in treatment, some cases definitely stand out. Meet #25.

Detox diets supposedly cleanse us of toxins, making us healthier. However, there’s no evidence that these diets actually work. Ironically, doctors say they can do more harm than good by depriving the body of vitamins, minerals and electrolytes. So why are detox diets so popular? Because in addition to claims of health benefits and weight loss, they also have a star-powered following.

this literally just happened to me. I can’t even describe how accurate this is. I lost all of my best friends. completely gone. and it’s not even my fault. they know they did it and they literally have no fucks about it. social climbing is pathetic. I can’t believe that I lost sleep over the fact that you think your’e too good for me. Just know, that you pushed us away, YOU PUSHED US ALL AWAY and for what? To be able to get drunk and smoke? that’s classy. YOU’RE SO COOL OMFG. Get over yourselves and grow up, because I’m no longer there for you. And hopefully one day you’ll realize that I was there for BOTH of you when NO ONE else was.

But then think of how many new friends you have now and all the crazy shit you’ve done with them and stuff like that.

Like now I have at least 4 new friends who are all great.

Words of Wisdom- from the Trainer

Tue, 18 Dec 2012 12:52:44 -0500

Do you often get painful muscle spasms or cramps during your workout or in the middle of the night? If so, here are the top 4 common culprits:

Dehydration: drink at least 8 glasses of water daily even if you are not thirsty

Over-exercising: make sure your are getting enough rest and not overtraining your muscles

Vitamin deficiency: get enough phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, sodium and potassium to sustain your training

Tight clothing or socks: wear looser clothing that allows for better circulation

HOW TO EAT TO PREVENT BINGING:

Hydrate: Drinking water expands your belly, keeping it feeling full. Thirst is often confused with hunger.

Veg Out: Eat your veggies…..anything low on the glycemic index that sustains energy over a long period of time. Examples are broccoli, zucchini and squash. Avoid high glycemic veggies such as carrots if you have a history of bingeing because they tend to spike your insulin levels.

Get Wholesome: Choose whole grains and brown rice and pasta over the refined whites to provide more sustained energy and nutrients.

Protein: Shakes and lean protein help curb cravings and prevent overeating. They satisfy hunger while remaining low in calories.

Meal planning and snacking: Eat small meals often so you are never in a desperate state of hunger. Snacks such as almonds, walnuts and cashews are great!

Binge-inducing foods: Avoid the whites! Sugar, flour and white pasta contain no fiber and are high in calories but not nutrients so the body is still hungry and craves more. Fatty foods and meats are hard to digest and can interfere with the absorption of nutrients. They tend to make you tired and make you want to eat more to get more energy and the vicious cycle continues.

Plan cheat days/meals: Balance is good! If you continuously deprive yourself of your cravings, eventually you will binge! Knowing you can indulge a little can help you stay on track with clean eating.

finally found a recipe for the perfect macadamia cookies! (follow the blog: for the love of cooking for more great recipes!)

WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA NUT COOKIES

by PAM on MAY 16, 2009

We were heading to a good friend’s house for dinner and I was asked to bring a dessert. I decided to bake cookies because they are quick and easy to make and everyone loves them. I found this white chocolate macadamia nut cookie recipe from The Crepes of Wrath and they looked and sounded so good I decided to make them. They were one of the best cookies I have EVER eaten. I used salty nuts which gave them a sweet/salty combination that I loved. These cookies were moist and absolutely delicious. The adults and kids all loved them – especially dipped in ice cold milk. Make these cookies…you won’t regret it.

White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies:
Recipe and photo made by For the Love of Cooking
Recipe from The Crepes of Wrath

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups (chopped, if needed) macadamia nuts
2 cups white chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl then set aside. Beat together the melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar, egg, egg yolk and vanilla with a mixer until creamy.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture until just mixed. Stir in the macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips by hand. Drop by the spoonful onto a greased or lined baking sheet.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges look golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet for at least 4-5 minutes (so cookies can set) before moving to a rack. Enjoy.
