Stevia Uprising: Natural, No-Cal Sweetener Stevia Kills Artificial Sweeteners
It was raining yesterday – so I did a 30 minute hill/run/stride treadmill workout before I did my Atlas Bodyweight Routine…
I’m not a TV watcher – but while on the treadmill – there are about 4 TVs going at the same time – so ill check ‘em out to see what the mainstream world is being “shown”…
On comes a short commercial about the artificial sweetener Splenda.
It was ridiculous – but as true as true can be. Here’s what they presented:
“It starts as sugar.”
“It tastes like sugar.”
“But it’s not sugar.”
My question is:
“What in the world happened between “Starts as sugar…. – …But it’s not sugar.”??
Well it doesn’t take a rocket scientist (or a chemical scientist in this case) to figure out how Splenda starts as sugar – and then magically its transformed into “not sugar”…
Truth is the artificial sweetener companies are shaking in their boots because Stevia, the natural, no-calorie herbal sweetener is positioned to kill off all chemical sweeteners. This is HUGE and its a massive boon to our long term health and fitness.
Stay tuned for more exciting and very important news on this topic.

I love Stevia! You can buy the dried leaf “tea” form at the supermarket here in my town in Japan, and it’s also pretty easy to order the Stevita brand from the Foreign Buyers Club. Ever since I’ve gone completely off of sugar (this includes honey, btw, since the glycemic impact is still rather high) , I’ve noticed a marked improvement in my overall well-being. I don’t get the peaks and valleys in my energy that I used to, and my head doesn’t get that “discombobulated” feeling that often happened when I was eating lots of sugar-laden things. Also, I stopped using artificial sweeteners about 4 years ago, and *miraculously* I stopped getting migraine headaches! Go figure!
I use Stevia just about everywhere I used sugar before, and it’s great! Someone mentioned a bitter taste. All I can say is that you have to experiment and see how much works best based on the brand you’re using. Too much Stevia will leave behind a slightly bitter flavor. A little goes a LONG way with this stuff.

Just curious what your thoughts on xylitol are. It is low calorie not calorie free but also a natural substance. It actually tastes amazing!!!! Thanks

Hey Joey
I think what you want to do is great! Although I enjoy going to the gym and don’t think I would workout at home unless I was trying to target a certain area like abs and buns.

Hi Sweet Joey,(that’s MY personality coming out!)
I am SOOOO excited about being able to work out with you via TV! I purchased you ULHBT make-over via e-mial and it’s been great, but I’ve often wondered how much more effective the exercises would be if I had bought the DVD’s. But at the time I was in too much of a hurry to get started. And I don’t want to buy them now, so that is the perfect alternative for me. Thank you so much and let me know when this is up and running. Thanks for all that you do for women all around the world.

hey joey
i love ur idea i think its really cool! i cant wait to workout live wid u at home!

I am looking forward to seeing you but as for the cost of this I am a bit worried. Money is very tight at the moment due our country’s financial situation and I have found myself out of work since August last year. I was however very lucky in December through to February to find a temporary job which I was hoping to become permanent but was not possible givin me the opportunity to buy ULBHT but as for anything else well we will have to just see. I have been a bit distracted lately so I haven’t had much time to do the exercises but I have recently decided to see this through to the end from now on.

Charleen – no need to worry – we are still a few months out on this – and we will be offering amazingly low membership options.

Hey Joey, I’m thrilled at the idea that I’ll be able to train with you inmy home, I may be projecting this idea farther than you intend, or farther than is possible, I’m dreaming that you will design a personal workout for me, which would be wonderful beyond belief, as no recorded program designed for the general public is quite right for me, I’m in a wheelchair, with paralyzed left extremities resulting from a multiple right brain hemorrhagic strokes in 2000. We wheelies still like to be fit and good looking, although i’s hard to look good in a wheelchair, on the other hand, the appearance of our hips, thighs and butt are fairly inconsequential most of the time.
Thanks,

Your idea of exercising with me in my home sounds like a wonderful idea, but there is a 13 or 14 hour time difference (depending on daylight savings time) between the States and Japan. This might make things logistically challenging. Also, my husband and I have 5 children and are Protestant missionaries here. In short, we don’t have a lot of extra money sitting around. The cost of something like this would be a big deciding factor in whether we take you up on this offer or not. I have several of your DVD’s (and even though I am not sure I am doing things right), this will probably have to suffice. Will be interested in hearing what you come up with, though.
Thanks for you passion for helping people achieve maximum health.

Hi Joey,
This is about your mention on Splenda and Sugar free. I would like to know your views on Sugar consumption in our daily life. I learned recently that neither “Sugar free” (am based in India and we get “Sugar free” as substitute of normal Sugar) or Splenda are good alternatives, in fact they do more harm to our body.
As a practice I have no sugar in my Tea or Coffee. But if given a choice are the above mentioned alternatives good?? Please advise.
Regards,
Sarika

Stay away from Sugar free, chemical sweeteners – they are unnecessary…
Go for Stevia – its an herb – you can’t go wrong with nature.
