At the age of five, the twins were already learning the violin, piano, and guitar, which are now talents they are known for. The twins enjoy a diverse mix of origins as their ethnicity, like Spanish, Mexican, German, Portuguese and Irish roots. Both sisters have further connected themselves to their Spanish roots by learning the Spanish language. Veronica Jo Merrell and Vanessa Merrell began their foray in online production of videos with their father's help in 2009. According to the sisters, after they posted their first video, they never paid attention to it until their return to the platform two years after, when they discovered that people appreciated their video. This inspired the twins to make more videos and upload them on their channel. With contents like skits, song covers, challenges, and games, the Merrell Twins have been able to build an audience of over 3. 7 million subscribers and their videos have been viewed over a combined total of 717 million views. Seeing the reception of their performances, the twins chose to take the next step and move to Los Angeles.
How do you calculate the number of net carbs in this chocolate bar? Do these four things: 1. Check the serving size First, look at the serving size (circled in red, above). How much chocolate is in one serving? A square? A cup? Half the package? As you can see, the serving size for this chocolate is 40 grams, or 12 small squares. 2. Check carbs per serving Second, check the total grams of carbohydrate per serving (circled in blue, above). This chocolate has 14 grams of carbohydrates per serving. 3. Calculate net carbs per serving Third, check the grams of dietary fiber per serving (circled in green, above). Subtract the fiber (green) from the total carbohydrates (blue) to get the net carbs. This chocolate has 9 grams of net carbs per serving (14g carbs – 5g fiber = 9g net carbs). Note: In the UK, Europe, and Australia, fiber has already been subtracted from the "total carbohydrate" value on nutrition labels (The amount of fiber that was subtracted is included on the line below). So if you're looking at a nutrition label outside the US and Canada, you can skip this step because the net carbs have already been calculated for you.
Ideally, look for multivitamins that have been verified to contain what is indicated on the ingredient label, and in the amounts claimed. 4. Incorporate a protein source at every meal. Protein after surgery is imperative for recovery, healing, sustained weight loss, and prevention of muscle loss. Some sources of high-quality protein include eggs, fish, poultry, legumes, or dairy, as long as you can tolerate them well. Your stomach size is smaller following surgery, making it important to eat a solid protein source at every meal throughout the day. Find some of my recommended protein-rich, bariatric-friendly recipes here. Generally speaking, protein intake should be between 60-100 grams per day, but your surgical team and registered dietitian will offer personalized guidance for your recovery. It's possible that supplemental protein drinks will be recommended to help you meet your needs temporarily. 5. Get your vitamin and mineral levels checked following surgery. Your blood nutrient levels will likely be checked multiple times throughout the first year after surgery, and continue annually thereafter.
• Location, Location, Location: Your body's fat impacts your health differently depending on where it's stored. While most fat found on other parts of our bodies (think arms, legs, buttocks) are considered "subcutaneous fat, " belly fat is more likely to be "visceral. " • Pinchable versus Pressable: "Subcutaneous fat" is the pinchable, squishy fat right between your skin and muscle that helps keep you warm, cushions you against shock, and stores extra calories. "Visceral fat" stores calories too, but isn't as pinchable because it is located in and around your organs. It's hidden deep within the belly region, which is what makes it firm (rather than squishy) when you press it. • Proximity: Fat doesn't just store calories—it's a living tissue capable of producing and releasing hormones that affect your other organs. Because visceral fat sits near our organs, its release of these chemicals is poorly situated. Having more visceral fat can raise your LDL (a. k. a. "bad" cholesterol) and blood pressure.
Lemon water is very popular. It is offered as a free upgrade to normal water at almost every restaurant. Some drink it simply because they prefer the taste, but some are doomed to the supposed health benefit. In fact, few studies have been conducted on lemon water, but we know enough about lemon and water. Both are very good for you. There is a lot of anecdotal evidence that people swear by lemon water in various health improvements. If you take it daily, you should know if it will help in about 7 days. This can happen if you adopt the habit of lemon water. 1. Easier weight loss Studies in mice show that polyphenolic antioxidants in lemon can reduce weight gain despite a high-fat diet. Insulin resistance also improved in these mice. More studies are needed to determine if the results can be doubled in humans, but anecdotal evidence is favorable. People who drink lemon water regularly report lighter weight, although it is unclear whether the combination of lemon and water is a fundamental factor.
