All Diets Don't Have to End

I want everyone reading this to get comfortable with the thought of dieting: dieting for your own personal goals and dieting under conditions that will lead to your personal success long-term.

Sometimes Ketosis diet users act like carbs and sugars are the enemy.

A lot of the time, people restrict themselves too much when they begin a diet. Then, when they mess up dieters are less likely to start the diet again because they fear failure. It is important for you to tweak all diets to fit into your lifestyle. That way, you won't think of the diet as temporary but instead as a lifestyle change.

With keto, you're "supposed" to limit the amount of fruits and vegetables you eat. For someone who enjoys eating salads and conventionally healthy options, this might be something you tweak on the diet. In cases like this, you would just increase the amount of protein and fats in your diet, limit access sugars aside from the fruits and vegetables you eat, and raise the amount of carbs you're allowed to eat. For a typical keto diet, you would try to remain under 25g of carbs a day, but in this case you might raise your carb intake to 50g a day but still avoid carb-loaded foods such as rice, pasta, and bread.

If you don't tweak the diets you're on, chances are you will give up because it's unrealistic to give up the foods you enjoy eating permanently. Keto can be especially hard at the beginning because your body is starting a new process.

While you're in ketosis, instead of your body burning carbs for energy, your body burns fats because that is all you're eating. This is what leads to such a fast weight loss. With that weight loss comes a lot of responsibility making sure you're providing your body with sufficient nutrients to be in healthy ketosis.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
