Video | Soda Study | Is Diet Soda Healthy?
Diet soda is not a healthy drink by any stretch of the imagination. However, a study involving more than a thousand participants showed that while drinking sugar-sweetened soda caused a significant increase in belly fat, drinking diet soda did not. After the six-year study period, diet soda consumption was not associated with belly fat gain.
While there is a lot more to healthy living than a flat stomach, having more belly fat (aka visceral fat) is linked to insulin resistance and an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and more. Is diet soda the solution? We’ll explore the study and address that question in this blog post.

Most of us have changed our diets at one time or another. Over the past years, the ketogenic diet has risen in popularity because it works for fat loss, produces energy-rich ketones, and offers many enjoyable and easy-to-prepare food choices.
But a keto diet cuts out some fun foods, like certain fruits, potatoes, and bread, and special treats like birthday cake. This leads many people to ask, “Can I ever go back to eating carbs?” This blog post explores when it is right and not right to step back from your keto diet.

As women reach middle age, many will gain about 1 pound (0.5kg) a year (1).
This steady increase in weight is attributed to age rather than menopause itself. However, the transition into menopause has an unwelcome effect on body composition, with accelerated gains in fat mass (often showing up in the belly) and losses of lean mass (2).
So, even if the scale is not changing, your body composition and fat distribution may be.
Improving insulin sensitivity, while not a cure-all, gives you a way to mitigate these changes, and you can achieve that by making insulin’s job easier. I will show you how in this blog.
