Most of the world didn’t know what sirtfoods were until Adele posted photos of her transformation. Adele reportedly changed her diet to include more sirtfoods, foods that contain polyphenols, which are antioxidants found in fruits, vegetables, cereals and even beverages like wine. Experts believe sirtfoods may activate sirtuins, proteins that regulate the way our body processes fat and sugar. There’s about 20 sirtfoods that people are suggested to eat including arugula, garlic, kale, strawberries, walnuts, buckwheat, green tea, parsley celery, green apple, ginger, lemon and matcha to make green juice, another component to this regimen. I like to think about the Sirtfood Diet is as a Mediterranean diet, but with calorie restriction. On the Sirtfood Diet, for the first couple days, you are limited to 1,000 calories. You eat a lot of healthy foods, but in smaller amounts. When it comes to protein, you can have red meat, poultry, eggs and fish are allowed when you have your Sirtfood meals. Check out the video above for the results of our own 14-Day Sirtfood Challenge. Always love bringing you the latest news and research,

Dr. Kellyann on Dr. Oz Avocados are packed with healthy monounsaturated fats that moisturize your skin and erase those tiny wrinkles from the inside out. Second, they’re loaded with fiber, and we need that fiber to banish the bloat and keep our plumbing moving. In fact, nearly all the carbohydrates in avocados are fiber.  Watch the video below for everything you need to know about avocados. 

There’s so much hype about carbonated waters. This two billion dollar industry has really taken off. Consumers are shopping smart and they’ve found a drink that’s zero calories. It’s a guilt free beverage that leaves you feeling satisfied and refreshed, and there’s a variety of flavors for the consumer to try. I teamed up with the team at The Dr. Oz show to find out why this has become America’s new obsession. There’s a lot of confusion about the difference between all the different types of bubbly waters on the market, so we built an experiment to help show you what each one is made up of. We started with seltzer vs. club soda. Beginning with a glass of water, we injected it with carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide triggers bubbles in the water which makes it seltzer. However, some companies will add in mineral-like ingredients to the seltzer. Adding minerals to seltzer makes club soda. What kind of minerals are added? Club soda often contains minerals like potassium sulfate, disodium phosphate, sodium chloride, and sodium bicarbonate. How does this affect the taste? When would you use Club Soda vs. Seltzer? Some of these minerals may give club soda a slightly saltier, tangier taste than the other waters. Club soda is good to mix with cocktails & seltzer, which has a clean simple taste. If you’re looking for a healthy alternative to soda, seltzer is a good place to start.  Next we looked at Sparkling Mineral Water  Sparkling water comes from a completely different source. Unlike club soda or seltzer, sparkling mineral water is naturally carbonated in nature. Its bubbles come from a spring or well with naturally occurring carbonation. Spring water contains a variety of minerals, such as sodium, magnesium and calcium, however, the amount varies based on the source from which they were bottled. How does mineral water taste different than club or seltzer water? Interestingly, the mineral content of water may change the taste significantly. That’s why different brands of sparkling mineral water typically have their own unique taste. Speaking of taste, all of these types of carbonated drinks come in various flavors like lemon, lime, and grapefruit… How do they add flavors without adding any calories? Some companies may be adding things like artificial flavoring or artificial sweeteners to trick your taste buds – while other companies may be adding in ‘natural flavors’. These companies are able to manipulate certain flavors so it tastes like you’re drinking grapefruit, for example, but in actuality you’re really not. I’m ok with natural flavors, but anything you can’t pronounce, I’d suggest you stay away from. It’s important to look at the back of the label to see what you’re actually drinking.  Does sparkling water lead to bloat? What does the science say about what happens when you swallow all those bubbles? We looked into this and found that carbonated beverages can actually make you more bloated. The reason is because you’re swallowing gas as well as water and that can lead to your stomach feeling extra gassy or full. Can sparkling water lead to weight gain? Scientists from one study found that drinking plain carbonated water may increase the hunger hormone ghrelin. People who had sparkling water for breakfast were found to have six times the ghrelin level of those who had still water… and more hunger could lead to eating more calories. However, this is just one small study & there is no conclusive evidence that sparkling water leads to weight gain. Watch the video to find out which sparkling water is the bubbliest, which has the faintest fizz, and more! Keep thinking Big and living BOLD!

Dr. Kellyann on E! News Daily Pop As you age, your body produces less and less collagen. If you are low on collagen, it can show up in your face, skin, nails, teeth, and bones. Decreased amounts mean your skin and hair get thinner, sags and wrinkles begin to appear, joints get stiffer, and tendons and ligaments lose elasticity. If you've experienced these symptoms it's not too late. You can supplement your body with the collagen it needs through a diet consisting of Bone Broth. Bone Broth has many health benefits. Not only is it packed with collagen to improve the look and feel of your hair, skin, nails, and joints. But, it also has gut healing properties that can help improve digestion, detox your body, and fight inflammation. Watch as I team up with the crew on E!

Dr. Kellyann on The Dr. Oz Show Watch as I uncover the truth about different coffee creamers. How are they different, and what you should look for in the ingredients when shopping. How Are Coffee Creamers Different Than Milk Or Half And Half? Coffee creamer could come in liquid or powdered form. They are extremely popular for the everyday coffee drinker to use. The surprising thing here is that most of these creamers have no real cream or milk in them. Instead companies use other ingredients to make you think it tastes like real cream, but that’s not the case. Half and half is a combination of milk and cream. Cream is the fat that naturally rises to the top of whole milk. Half-and-half contains between 10.5 and 18 percent milkfat, that’s what gives your coffee that thick consistency and richness. Milk, on the other hand can have anywhere from 1% to 3% milkfat. The consistency of milk in coffee will not be as rich as something like half and half Let’s zero in on traditional creamers – which come in plastic containers in the refrigerated section of the store… If these creamers don’t’ have cream in them at all… what are they made of? Some of these include over 10 different ingredients. Instead of the real ingredients like milk or cream, some companies may be using oils to give you that creamy consistency. In addition they may also use corn syrup which is basically adding more sugar to mix. They’re also adding something called carrageen. A lot of people are concerned that it may be linked to inflammation but for me it’s just a sign that this is a more processed product. They’re also including natural flavors which again is used to help with the taste. Most of them are designated as non-dairy but when you look closer at the ingredient label, it says they have a milk derivative Should people with milk allergies worry about it? If you look closer at the label a lot of these creamers say they are a non dairy product which I don’t think a lot of people realize. That just means they don’t contain lactose. However, some do contain casein, which is a milk protein. You’ll see on the label it may say “sodium caseinate” or micellar casein. This can trigger reactions in those who have a milk allergy. The FDA says that you must list casein as an ingredient on the label. A lot of these creamers come in all sorts of flavors from cinnamon buns to actual candy bar flavors. How much sugar can you get from adding these into your drinks?? We looked at all the different types of flavored and traditional creamers and we found they can have up to 12 grams of sugar per 2 tablespoon. This could be equal to eating two chocolate chip cookies for breakfast! What other surprising ingredients did you find in the flavored creamers? Some companies may be adding things like cane sugar in addition to artificial flavors. The other ingredients they may be adding is palm oil – this is used to help with that creamy consistency. As a nutritionist, I watch out for palm oil, which is a saturated fat that can increase your bad cholesterol The Powdered Creamers These don’t need to be refrigerated yet you stir it into coffee and it makes it creamy… what’s actually giving it that creamy consistency? Powdered creamers are usually non-dairy creamers, which we talked about earlier… all of these oils like veggie oil or palm kernel oil and even hydrogenated coconut are used to give you that creamy texture. But, buyer beware… all of these oils are highly processed and even though they give you that velvety smoothness and thicker consistency once mixed in with your coffee, don’t be fooled, it’s not real cream at all. They also contain something called anneto – which is a pigment that provides a yellow color so the creamer looks more dairy-ish… it doesn’t concern me but it’s good to keep in mind. They also contain the milk derivative that we talked about earlier – so if you are someone who has an allergen to milk, keep away from this. We also looked at the nutritional value. Surprisingly powdered creamers can have 0 grams of sugar and only 10 calories per serving. I prefer something that has an expiration date as opposed to a product that’s highly processed with shelf stabilizers that are used to make it last longer. The New Non Dairy Alternatives There are the almond, soy and even coconut creamers out there. What Surprising Ingredients Did You Find In These Creamers? I like that most of the non dairy alternatives actually have the almond, soy or coconut milk as the first ingredient. This tells us right off the bat that they’re actually using these products in our creamers. If you look further you’ll see they may be using ingredients like cane sugar, other oils and stabilizers to help with the consistency in addition to natural flavors which may give you more of that coconut or almond taste that you’re used to when you drink traditional almond or coconut milk. What Should You Look For When Buying Creamers At The Supermarket? Out of all of these creamers, I like an almond milk creamer that has no added sugar… look for the kinds that have the least amount of ingredients… avoid the creamers that don’t have any milk or cream in them because they usually contain highly processed oils. If You’re Filling Up Your Coffee Mug So It Ends Up Looking White, What Coffee Benefits Are Really Getting? If you’re filling up your mug where your coffee ends up looking super white, chances are you’re canceling out all of the health benefits that coffee can give you. Coffee is a very low calorie drink but a lot of people don’t realize that the creamer adds up really fast! If you fill up ½ your mug with creamer, that’s a total of 280 calories in addition to 12 grams of fat. You’re essentially diluting the coffee and if you’re adding more sugar on top of this, you may end up spiking your blood sugar and crashing shortly after. What’s The Perfect Coffee Formula To Avoid An Energy Crash And Not Be Overloaded With Extra Calories? We know that most creamers don’t contain any real milk or cream so what I suggest doing is adding a quarter cup of whole milk to your mug of coffee. It’s a total of 40 calories, 2 grams of protein and 2 grams of fat! This allows you to get the energy you need to power through your day. And you’ll also avoid that sugar crash that you may get from creamers! Coffee is like wine. It has different notes and flavors and whatever you add into it should compliment it. Add up to 1/4th cup of milk according to taste… some people even use oat milk! It’s the new trending milk that not only tastes amazing in coffee but you also get the nutrients from the oats. It’s the perfect alternative to those who avoid soy… plus it has 68 calories less per quarter cup than creamer. Keep thinking Big and living BOLD!

We all want to be slimmer and healthier, right? That’s why millions of us are switching from sugary sodas to zero calorie beverages that seem to offer all the rewards of those sugary sodas without the price. The question is...Does “zero calorie” REALLY mean “zero risk”? Sadly, the answer is a big NO. In fact, it looks like these drinks can sabotage your health AND put pounds on you. And here’s why. Recently, a group of scientists dug up every study they could find on the effects of artificial sweeteners like aspartame and sucralose—the chemicals that make zero-calorie drinks sweet. Pooling the data to do what we call a meta-study, they discovered that these sweeteners cause weight GAIN—not weight loss. What’s more, the results show that they’re culprits in high blood pressure, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular problems. Are you wondering how a food with no calories can put pounds on your belly? Well, scientists don’t know yet, but they have some good guesses. One theory is that the sweeteners mess with your gut microbiome and change how it metabolizes sugar. Research shows that after just FOUR DAYS of adding sugar substitutes to their diet, about half of people have higher blood sugar levels. It looks like this happens because artificial sweeteners boost your levels of gut bugs that hoard energy and lower the levels of microbes that help keep you slim. Another theory is that when you feed your body a steady stream of artificial sweeteners, it “confuses” your brain and makes you crave sweet foods more. It turns out there’s an area in your brain’s reward centers that calculates the sweetness and amount of energy in your food. When this area detects sweetness but no energy, it recalculates—sort of like your GPS—and tells you to eat more calories. Finally, there’s basic psychology in play here. If I think I’m being noble by drinking a zero-calorie beverage instead of a high-calorie soda or coffee drink, then I’m more likely to reach for a donut later on. It’s just human nature. Now, let’s take a look at what else is in these zero calorie beverages. It’s not just artificial sweeteners. I took a run through the grocery store shelves, and here are some of the most disturbing ingredients I spotted: Red Dye #40: linked to hyperactivity in kids Yellow Dye #5: can cause serious hypersensitive reactions Potassium Benzoate: can form toxic benzene, a chemical linked to cancer, when it’s combined with Vitamin C Then there are drinks with labels that list “natural flavorings”. Now, think about this: Manufacturers are up-front about the good ingredients they use. So what are they hiding when they use this phrase? The answer is that these “natural flavorings” are concocted from chemicals in laboratories just like synthetic ingredients are. The only difference is that the chemicals in natural ingredients come from plants or animals. For instance, that strawberry flavor in your clear drink probably doesn’t come from strawberries, but from certain chemicals found in strawberries that are “enhanced” in a laboratory. Why is that a problem? Because high-powered natural flavorings can give you a big burst of flavor that makes you want more and more—so you’re going to keep reaching for those clear drinks, and getting hit after hit of all those artificial sweeteners and colors. Enhanced flavorings can also retrain your taste buds to want a more powerful flavor hit than natural foods give you—so again, you’re going to reach for that strawberry-flavored drink instead of real strawberries. And that’s going to put pounds on your belly and cheat you out of the nutrients you need. So, the next time you're reaching for those Zero Calorie Beverages, try making your own infused water instead. Simply muddle your favorite fruits and vegetables in a glass and add water for a delicious, healthy, and refreshing flavored drink that your taste buds will love. Keep thinking Big and living BOLD!
