This is the master vitamin in the processing of amino acids—the building blocks of all proteins and some hormones. It helps to make and take apart many amino acids and is also needed to make serotonin, melatonin, and dopamine. It aids in the formation of several neurotransmitters and is therefore an essential nutrient in the regulation of mental processes and possibly mood.
While surfing the web this morning, I saw a post from a lady with Type 2 Diabetes who says she’s tried everything and can’t lose weight. She said “I exercise 2-3 hours a day and eat right. I usually burn 700 to 900 calories daily and eat 1200 to 1250 daily.” Jiggle Free Zone, I hope you are not doing this! Please know that this is NOT healthy and is NOT enough calories for your body to function properly – let alone lose weight.
Severely restricting your calories is dangerous on many, many levels and completely robs you of energy. It’s no wonder you’re depressed, cranky and on an emotional roller coaster. Adding exercise to the mix further exacerbates the problem by burning away the few calories you’ve eaten. You cannot starve yourself skinny. It just doesn’t work. When you don’t eat enough calories your body goes into starvation mode and stores what you do eat to use as fuel later.

Cellulite is definitely the most frustrating fat on your body. It can be ugly and difficult to get rid of.
Cellulite is basically a side effect of having a higher percentage of overall body fat. I wouldn’t waste money on creams and lotions that claim to reduce the appearance of cellulite. They can be expensive and, frankly, how well can they work?
The best way to reduce cellulite is to reduce your overall body fat percentage by building more muscle. Muscle burns more calories than fat, plus building muscle is a step in the right direction for keeping your body strong and healthy. Some of the major benefits of building muscle include:

Amazon Hit or Miss? 👀 The Sweatsuit I STILL Wear Years Later | Miko
AS SEEN ON YOUTUBE. Amazon understood the assignment with this sweatsuit. 😍
I bought this set YEARS ago when I first started Miko Slays Fashion and she’s STILL one of my favorite Amazon finds. Soft, comfy, flattering… and somehow still looks good after tons of washes. 👏🏾
But let’s be honest… not every color hit the same. 👀😂 Watch my full review on YouTube where I compare the orange vs ombré version and tell y’all which one is actually worth buying.
