We tried it: A vitamin you'll actually enjoy taking

 

Check these out, too...

  • 10 cinchy ways to burn 100 calories
  • In the News: Exercise really does calm you down
  • Green meanies: How to make veggies taste good
  • Check this out: 30 seconds to fruitful eating
  • Hands off that hotdog! Do you know what's going on your bun?
I know what you’re thinking: There’s no way on earth GL can make taking vitamins fun. I mean, the chewables taste icky. The pills are too huge to swallow without gagging. And Mom won’t go for sugar-packed gummies.
 
But that’s where you’re wrong, babes, ‘cause we just tested a brand new vitamin that we’re pretty sure you’re gonna love. If Pixy Stix or Fun Dip hopped on the health food bandwagon, they’d look something like our new fave thing, AlternaVites.
 
Here’s how it works: You take one little packet of AlternaVites a day and you get 17 essential vitamins and minerals, including Vitamins A, B, C, D and E, calcium and folic acid. The packet contains a Pixy Stix-like powder that you pour, bit by bit, onto the tip of your tongue. You let the powder dissolve and repeat until you’ve taken the entire packet. You can also mix it into your morning yogurt or a smoothie, if a powdery tongue isn’t your thing. The two flavors, strawberry bubble gum and raspberry cotton candy, are pretty good. They taste more fruity than candy like, aren’t too sweet and don’t leave a funky aftertaste in your mouth.
 
Best of all, though, is AlternaVites doesn’t have any sugar. No high fructose corn syrup, no artificial sweeteners, coloring or preservatives. It’s certified Kosher, has no animal products or by-products, and is free of major allergens—egg, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, fish and shellfish. How fantastic is that?
 
You can get a pack of 30 for $16 and free shipping when you buy two or more packages from alternavites.com. Not bad, eh?

Hi
Ummm How to loose weight in my thighs and stommach before summer starts????
Thanks!

 

Hey girlie, you'll want to focus on cardio. You can't target weight loss by area, you'll have to lose it all over and cardio is great for that. You can also do exercises like crunches and squats to build extra muscle and burn more calories.

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD! I am overweight and I am not sure why. I run a mile every day, and I follow an organic vegetarian diet. I don't snack very often, and all of my meals are porportionate (sometimes I feel like I am starving because I eat so little!) My parents are WeightWatchers fanatics, we have practically no junk food at my house. I so curl ups all the time AND lift weights. No matter what I do, I am STILL overweight! P.S. Everyone else in my family is a skinny minnie. I don't get it.

 

Hey girl, first of all, do not get overwhelmed. You are beautiful just the way you are! When you work out, your body needs those proteins you have in meat. Although being a vegetarian is a personal choice, and I'm not telling you not to do it because of course you can, but you do have to take the vitamins that you aren't getting because of the lack of meat. That could help a lot. Eating less doesn't mean you're going to loose more weight, it just means your body is going to have less energy than it needs to. If you ever feel like you're hungry, have a snack of fruit or whole grains just don't go feeling hungry, that's not helping at all. I'm on a work out routine and strict eating pattern as well and I know how hard it can be, but stay with it and keep on eating healthy!
