Losing weight and getting into shape isn't easy, and nor should it happen quickly. There are many 'crash' diets which are designed to help you lose weight at a rapid rate, but the weight loss is often unsustainable. No sooner do you finish the diet, you put all the weight back on, and you're back where you started. Losing weight and keeping it off is a long - and sometimes difficult - process, but it's well worth it when you can achieve end results like these.
This mom felt like she was out of shape after having a baby, and decided to get to the gym and push herself harder than she'd ever pushed before. Over a period of two years and three months, she didn't just lose weight - she replaced it with muscle. Now she works as a personal trainer - although she also looks like she could be a professional athlete.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
