<b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">My best advice for anyone who wants to lose weight is to avoid processed foods at all costs</span><span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. They’re fake food made in factories, David Ludwig, M.D., Ph.D., director of the pediatric weight loss Optimal Weight for Life Program in Boston, </span><span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">said.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></b></div>

Sweeteners such as aspartame, sucralose and saccharin are all types of artificial sweeteners. Studies suggest that artificial sweeteners </span><span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">are linked</span><span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> to headaches and cancer, not to mention they are chemically made which is harder for your body to digest.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You can find these in packets on the table at a restaurant, in diet drinks or sugar free items. I went around and polled 10 people at the ASU Downtown Campus to see who used artificial sweeteners daily. </span></span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It turned out that eight out of the ten people I asked used sweeteners daily and didn’t see the harm in using it, they just really cared about the taste.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ryan Hill, freshman at ASU commented on artificial sweeteners saying, “ It’s a lot more accessible and less expensive than real sugar, but it tastes the same”</span><br /><span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Some other foods I found that you would think are healthy that aren’t; granola bars, fruit snacks and frozen yogurt. Shocking I know but frozen yogurt is still loaded with sugar and calories not too mention the toppings added in. Both granola bars and fruit snacks are also loaded with sugar.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The secret to being healthy is looking at the ingredients and knowing less is more. If it takes you longer than 10 seconds to read the label, chances are that it is not healthy!</span><br /><span style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></b></div>

Biel in Elie Saab. Speaking of dowdy

It seems that she’s taking her newly engaged status a little too literally in this wedding dress

it’s eerily reminiscent of Sandra Bullock’s wedding dress in “The Proposal”. If

“His Best Sex Ever” “Too Naughty to say Here” and “Um,
Vagina, Are You Ok Down There” surround the young beauty.<br />
<br />
While Fanning is currently underage, she is turning 18 in February and
Cosmopolitan sees this as almost a “coming of age” cover for her.<br />
<br />
Cosmo wrote, “We’re thrilled to feature Dakota Fanning on the February cover of
Cosmopolitan magazine and she looks stunning. Dakota is a mature, fearless
young woman and we are proud to honor her as our Fun Fearless Female of the
year. We applaud her unprecedented accomplishments which will continue in 2012
with her four upcoming movie roles.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
The feature, titled “Welcome to Your Cosmo Years, Dakota”
showcases Fanning’s style highlights since 2001 and more “grown-up” pictures
with captions like, “Two years ago this would have been cute. Now it’s hot.”<br />
<br />
Media expert Rachelle Friberg told FoxNews.com,”Cosmopolitan is going overboard
by putting an underage girl on its cover surrounded by such article titles. It
is one thing to educate young women about sex and their bodies, but putting a
young, underage girl on the cover of a magazine that had long been known to
push the limits is sending the wrong image.”</div>

Fanning’s reps were reached for comment by various news

So why not start with our closets? </span></span><span style="text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Enough of saying what we wish for in our wardrobes and instead, ditch the empty promises and ACT, ACT, ACT! </span></span></div>

appropriate no matter what your New Year’s Eve plans. To achieve
the loose wavy look, take hair and curl with a one inch barrel curling iron. Then

<span style="font-family: inherit;">A red lip never goes out of style. It’s classic and
appropriate for any occasion. Be sure to find a red that complements your skin
tone. Tanner and more olive toned complexions look best when paired with warmer

lips with a red lip pencil before filling in with the lipstick. If you like a

<span style="font-family: inherit;">A sexy smokey eye is perfect for a New Year’s out at your
favorite hot spot. To get this look, apply a base all over your upper and on
your lower eyelid that is one shade darker than your skin tone. Then apply a
dark brown or black pigment to your outer lid corner and crease and blend it
in. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Line your upper lids with a black liquid liner and your lower lids in a
coal pencil for added drama. Add a couple coats of black mascara and you are
ready to go. </span></div>
