Calorie Tariffs: The Hidden Costs to Your Waistline

Tariffs often dominate the news, but there’s another kind of “tariff” that’s rarely discussed—the calorie tariff.

In this article, we’ll explore three surprising sources of “calorie tariffs” and simple strategies to manage them effectively.

The Science of Lying

Lately I have noticed an uptick in one niche of entertainment that I will call the “Grifter Docudrama”. It’s all about lies – but not just one-off lies, lies that are perpetuated for years, catapult people to success, and then once they are found out, are torn down and shamed by society. What is more intriguing than the virtue-signaling is the key mistakes these characters, real and fictional, made. If they had lied more strategically, or quit while they were ahead, they may never have been exposed. It’s now all about “telling your truth” – and that is a very grey area in today’s society.

New Obsession: Starbucks Iced Energy Drinks

Attention caffeine addicts! The silver lining in this soupy hot summer is the new line of Starbucks energy drinks. They have almost no calories, no aftertaste, and can caffeinate and cool you down. At this moment, coffee seems very unappetizing, especially when the temps reach the 3 digits. Even iced coffee can feel dehydrating. Enter the Starbucks Iced Energy brand, which has quickly become our go-to caffeinated treat.

Best Energy Drinks: The DAOFitLife Guide

When it comes to boosting your energy levels, there are a plethora of options on the market. From classic favorites to new contenders, here’s a rundown of some of the best energy drinks available today, including Red Bull, Alani Nu, Bang, Ghost, and Celsius.

With of course the caveat that caffeine content is a highly important and individual health consideration, the great thing about energy drinks are that they 1) are way less calories than a latte (usually only about 5-10 per can) ; 2) are super tasty; 3) can give you a boost for exercise in the heat.

Here is DAOFitLife’s Top 5 Energy Drink recommendations. Note all of these brands have minimal to no sugar, so if you still want to shop around, make sure you read the label (as per the DAOFitLife guide here) so you don’t inhale a lot of calories.

How to Detox Fast

Just in time for summer, this is your guide to detox fast from what summer brings. Summers are for travel, whether it be for vacation or work – and while jet setting can be exciting, coming back and dealing with a reset can be rough. Our summers are also filled with packed social calendars – backyard BBQs, sporting events, weddings, and pool parties. If you’ve overindulged in rich foods, enjoyed a few too many cocktails, or simply thrown your sleep schedule out of whack, it’s time for a detox. But who has time to detox when you have a crazy busy work and life schedule?

The key to bouncing back is to go HARD: Hydrate, Acclimate, Restore, and Detox. Don’t be fooled by the acronym. It’s easy, simple, and will have you feeling the pep back in your step in no time.
