Success Stories
"I have finally found a form of exercise that I actually enjoy with TransformHers bootcamps. I have almost dropped a whole pant size (a lot of my clothes are too big now!) and feel great after each session. It also gives me an opportunity to get outdoors more during the week which doesn't normally happen with my usual work routine."

"Never before have I enjoyed my training sessions. I have been with TransformHERS for two months and will be signing up again for the next camp. Training with Ru is such a pleasure, I'm already seeing a difference -still a long way to go but I will get there. "

"Thank you for getting me back into exercise. I had not done formal exercise for about 10 years, so what a shock to the system to get straight into it. I really enjoy the sessions even though they were tough and hard. I have felt a significant difference in the tone of my body and was pleased to see my progress at the end of the programme. I am even craving exercise and do long walks and specific body training (learnt in the sessions) everyday. "

"I really enjoyed my experience at TransformHERS. It was awesome, tough at times, but so much fun. Our trainer Sibi was great and nice to meet new people! Would recommend it to anyone wanting a great work out and have a laugh!"

Artificial Sweeteners

posted by Good Life Dietitians on 05 Oct 12, 13:47

Categories: Health

The benefit of sugar substitutes and artificial sweeteners is that they add sweetness to a meal without adding kilojoules. This is particularly useful in weight control and also as part of the diabetic diet. There is little direct scientific evidence showing negative long-term effects of sweeteners on overall health. However there is concern about large volumes of nutritive sweetener intakes. Sweeteners such as Sorbitol and xylitol are often the culprits in causing diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort and bloating.

Hi there, I have cut down my coffee intake to 1 small cup 5 days a week, with one teaspoon of real sugar i am just uneasy about using something that is artificial on a daily basis. If i do want something hot during the course of the day then i opt for a cup of rooibos tea without anything.

Is the 1 teaspoon of sugar OK?

Everything in moderation Nthabiseng. You could even opt for some honey instead of sugar.
