Burt's Bees Carrot Nutritive Body Lotion

Advantages: made from recyled material, not tested on animals, smell is quite nice
Disadvantages: Leaves a greasy feeling on my skin, takes quite a long time to absorb

...Recently I was given a Burt's Bees gift bag with lots of Burt's Bees miniatures in it. One of these was the 'Carrot Nutritive Body Lotion'. The bottle I got was a 29.5ml size, but it is also available to buy in a full sized bottle which holds 236ml and costs around £13. Burt's Bees products are quite easy to get a hold of, with a lot of shops selling them. They are also widely available online. The miniature bottle looks exactly the same as the full sized bottle, just a lot smaller! The bottle is made of yellow plastic and has a white plastic screw top lid. It has pictures of carrots on the label along with the name of the product in nice, clear, red font. One of the things I don't like about the bottle is that it is made out of quite hard plastic, so it is very hard to try to get the body lotion out. In order to do this you have to...

Review of Burt's Bees Carrot Nutritive Body Lotion

Diet Coke. Cokes Skinny Sister.

Advantages: Perfect Coke Taste with 0 Calories.
Disadvantages: Contains aspartame.

...'Hey, it's only 1 calorie!' but I know, and understand why, a lot of people have major problems with the use of aspartame. I think we all know of the health problems that can be caused by too much aspartame so I won't go into it but this will always be the massive downside to drinking diet drinks. But personally, until an older more health conscious side to me kicks in, I'm more than happy to call Diet Coke my drink of choice. Nutrition Infomation for a typical 330ml can: 1kcal, 0g Sugar, 0g Fat, 0g Saturates, 0.01g Salt. Typical RRP price: 50-60p ** This Review is also on DooYoo under the same Username **...

Review of Diet Coke

Diet Coke Break

Advantages: taste, thirst quenching
Disadvantages: rotts your teeth

...Diet Coke.... Even before I was watching what I eat and drink to loose weight I would always opt for a diet coke over regular coke (or as I usually call it "fat coke"). The taste difference between standard coke and diet coke is rather a lot because regular coke tastes so very sweet. Regular coke will often make my teeth feel coated in a layer of sheen and give me a furry tongue, so for these reasons I have always been a diet coke girl. The calorie content in a can of diet coke is a mere 1 calorie per can which is nothing compared to the couple of hundred that a standard coke can contains. The price is the same however whether you are drinking regular or diet and for a single can nowadays you are looking at paying around the 70 pence mark. I drink a fair amount of canned drinks and will always stock up when the supermarkets...

Review of Diet Coke

It's a diet Coke thing!

Advantages: It's okay to drink, quenches your thirst,
Disadvantages: tad expensive, have to drink it quickly, drink when cold, not warm

...seriously hurt your throat! It is utterly gorgeous when it's been chilled to a low temperature. = VALUE FOR MONEY The drink itself costs around 90 pence in bottle form but in cans, it is about 60pence generally. While, this isn't very cheap compared to foods and such but Diet Coke quenches your thirst really well ironically as it is a diuretic drink and it is really nice at the same time. It doesn't particularly last for very long, once you open it, you have to drink it within 20-30 minutes or it goes very flat, becoming less tasty as time progresses. Also, you have to drink the drink COLD or it is quite nasty to drink when it's warm. Same issue with water, I think. = NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION There's no fats, sodium, fibre, real sugars with traces of sodium and protein. There's only less than 1 calorie for the 330ml can. So it...

Review of Diet Coke

Time for diet coke......

Advantages: Taste, Cost
Disadvantages: Still not all that good for you

...Time for Diet coke...... Review The company The coca cola group was first invented way back on the 8th of May 1886 by a gentleman called Dr John Styth Pemberton, Baack then Coca cola was selling an average of 9 drinks a day netting them an impressive $50 that year. Look at today's sales, Coca cola sell more than one billion drinks in a 24 hour period in over 200 countries. IT was not until 1900 that the UK had its first taste of Coco cola, when it was sold through soda fountains in places such as Selfridges. In 1999 Coca Cola purchased Schweppes which seen the range increase to include drinks such as Dr Pepper, Fanta, and many others. Between 1999 and 2004 Coca Cola seen their sales increase dramatically which resulted in them being able to announce that in Great Britain there sales where at an all time high of 54% of the soft...

Review of Diet Coke

Cambridge diet

Advantages: A low callorie diet
Disadvantages: Tastes vile

...to finish the bar, which was very cloying. The chocolate coating was indifferent, and not all that appealing. Though it was marginally better than the filling. I tried one of the shakes. Chocolate flavoured. Allegedly. Again, there was a hint of chocolate, but the main and somewhat overwhelming taste was a sort of artificial, "chemically" metallic flavour. It was an effort to finish it off, it has to be said. It left me with indigestion The cost of the diet items can only be established by contacting your nearest sales representative, who are known as counsellors, although they do not have any outside qualifications as diet or nutrition counsellors. I am not knocking the Cambridge Plan VLCD, and it seems to work for many people, but with the taste issue alone I could not stick with it. www.cambridge-diet.com for details...

Review of Cambridge Diet Drinks/Soups

Diet Coke Contains Poison

Advantages: tastes nice, no calories, low sodium
Disadvantages: potential health hazards, too fizzy, addictive

...Although the name of Diet Coke (or ?Coke Lite?) implies that it will help one lose weight, starting a Diet Coke habit will not make you look like Kate Moss. In fact, some of the heaviest people I?ve ever seen have been walking around with a can of Diet Coke attached to their hands as if it was an extension of their limb. Diet Coke has a bit of caffeine, but not enough to give you a real buzz. However, like coffee, it can stain your teeth. This drink is a dark brown, syrupy texture with no redeeming nutritional value. A glance at the nutrition facts reveals that while it has no fat, calories, or carbohydrates, it contains many chemicals that could be dangerous. Artificial flavourings and sweeteners such as ASPARTAME, which Diet Coke contains, may be harmful. Laboratory studies have been inconclusive, but some fake sugars have...

Review of Coca-Cola, Diet

Just for the taste of it - Diet Coke

Advantages: Only 1 calorie, I like the taste
Disadvantages: Not great for you

...I was always a fan of coca cola and loved to have it when at the pub or for a special treat. I have recently though moved on to loving diet coke instead. Part of this probably stems from the fact that I always seem to be on a diet these days and at least I have no worries that I am adding to my food calories with my drinks too. I have also actually grown to really like the taste. Diet coke came from Coca Cola who are the biggest manufacturer of soft drinks worldwide. I am sure if you went to any country in the world people would know what coca cola is. Coca Cola as a brand has been around a long time but Diet coke is a more recent addition to the portfolio of drinks. It is one that has actually stuck around though unlike their attempts at New Coke. The premise of Diet Coke has always been that it is a diet drink as it only has...

Review of Diet Coke

Time for Diet Coke break

Advantages: great taste next to no calories
Disadvantages: prices of soft drinks keep soaring

...I have always been a fan of diet soft drinks. As a child my mother would never give me or my sister any pop that had sugar in it. You would never find a bottle of sugar loaded pop in the fridge at my house. The only time I ever remember drinking pop that had sugar in it would have been at my Nanna's house and then my mother wouldnt have been too pleased. Anyway I grew up on diet pop and still to this day it is the only pop I drink. With the exception that now on a few occassions it will be mixed with a vodka instead. Well its a good combination in moderation. It never bothered me drinking diet coke or other diet soft drinks while all my friends at school would be drinking what they called normal pop. I knew that what they were drinking would rot their teeth but you still got bullied for it as to them it was wrong. A little history...

Review of Diet Coke

Less of a diet - more a lifestyle change

Advantages: You will feel better for it and it will put less strain on your body
Disadvantages: You just need the motivation to get started

...This diet offers much more than the chance to lose weight - it will help you to be healthier, fitter and less likely to get some of the awful health problems people experience as they get older. DASH actually stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension and my interest was aroused because I had high blood pressure, but , this diet will do a lot more than help with hypertension - it is suggested it can hep to keep the heart healthy and prevent osteoporosis so I suggest that even if you haven't got high blood pressure you should read on ...... If you think about it our diet has changed massively over the last 50 years or so. It is only since around the 1960s that supermarkets have sprung up everywhere, prior to that people shopped at corner shops from a range of foods that didn't include ready meals, highly processed foods...
