This is exactly why one of the most iconic brands on the market, Sour Patch Kids—known for its coarse, almost painful sour pucker outside and sweet relief inside—is once again trying to reimagine its signature flavors in a new form.

We’ve all done it—made a well-intentioned plan to eat less, move more and finally “get it right” in the new year. But when weight loss is built on restriction, it often leaves little flexibility for real life, and it’s almost always unsustainable. Before you jump on the next trending diet bandwagon, registered dietitians want you to consider a different approach: writing a manifesto. Instead of focusing solely on weight-loss outcomes, a manifesto shifts attention to values, identity and everyday behaviors that support health over time. In your manifesto, you get to define the kind of relationship you want with food,…

You should continue to feel proud—not just for the physical changes you’ve accomplished but for the strength and resilience it takes to achieve and maintain them. Understand that some people may comment on your appearance without understanding or seeing the invisible victories: stabilized blood sugar, regulated hunger cues, better sleep, clearer thinking, quieted shame.

And while their discomfort, skepticism, or unsolicited opinions may be hurtful, they do not diminish your choices.
If you’ve ever woken up after a night out with a pounding headache, nausea, and lots of regret—then unfortunately, you’re familiar with being hungover.It’s all fun and games when the alcoholic drinks are flowing, but too many of them take a toll on your body. Hangover symptoms occur because alcohol is a central nervous system depressant, Julia Adamian, MD, an internal medicine specialist at NYU Langone Health tells SELF. It slows down your brain function—then as alcohol wears off, the central nervous system goes into overdrive to recover. In other words, alcohol disrupts hydration, irritates the gut, inflames blood vessels,…
Today, death rates after weight-loss surgery are considered to be “very low,” occurring in perhaps 1 in 300 to 1 in 500 patients on average. The treatment of obesity has long been stained by the snake-oil swindling of profiteers, hustlers, and quacks. Even the modern field of bariatric medicine (derived from the Greek word baros, meaning “weight”) is pervaded by an “insidious image of sleaze.” Beguiled by advertising for fairy tale magic bullets of rapid, effortless weight loss, people blame themselves for failing to manifest the miracle or imagine themselves metabolically broken. On the other end of the spectrum are…
