OK, so you might be asking ‘What’s for lunch?’ - Can we start with ‘Where have you been?’

It’s been awhile since my last blog post, it’s true. But I have a really good reason for it, I swear! At the time of my last blog post the holiday season was getting underway and then I started interviewing for an awesome new job – so, blogging was temporarily shifted to the back burner.

The authors explain that the body may respond differently to diet drinks (artificially sweetened beverages) than it would to sugar sweetened drinks. So when the body is once again exposed to real sugar, it doesn’t respond as strongly as it should and this may affect metabolism.
