How healthy is a sandwich?....Really??

I am yet to me someone who doesn't love them a good sandwich but is the sandwich your eating really healthy for you? Well it depends! On what kind of sandwich your eating but here are some examples of some of the most unhealthy sandwiches out there....I think the list might surprise you!

Unhealthy Sandwiches:
  • Arby's Ultimate BLT Market Fresh Sandwich (880 calories)
  • Panera Bread's Chipotle Chicken on Artisan French Bread (990 Calories)
  • Subway Meatball Marinara Footlong (1,160 calories)
  • Blimpie's Special Vegetarian 12" (1,186 calories)
  • Quiznos Large Tuna Melt (1,760 calories)
  • Applebee's Grilled Cheese BLT (1,310 calories)
Keep in mind an average healthy person's calorie intake should be around 2,500 calories a day! That means almost all these sandwiches are half a days worth of calories so your next two meal that day better be really light and don't even think about having soda or juice!! To me this is insane a sandwich is suppost to be the "healthy choice" and it can be compared to fast food places but it really depends what kind of sandwich your eating. Some sandwiches are packed with so many calories you might as well of eat a burger and fries! Below is a list I came up with of healthy sandwiches I would rather eat then the calorie hogs above. Check it out and give them a try. :)

Healthy Sandwich Choices:
  • Subway Roast Beef 6" (310 calories)

Review on: Argan Oil

A few weeks back I was watching a YouTube video about haircare because I felt my hair was getting too dry from coloring it and bleaching it every few months. The girl on the YouTube video mentioned that she uses Argan Oil on her hair everyday and that it works great for dry damaged hair. I figured what the hey I'll give it a shot! I went to Sally's and purchased there "One n' Only Argan Oil Treatment" for $10 for a 3.4 oz. I thought it was a little pricey for such a small bottle but in the YouTube video they said you only us a small amount on your hair everyday and the bottle will last more than 4 months. That night I shampooed and conditioned my hair as usual and after spraying my detangler I put a quarter size amount of the oil into my wet hair. I towel dried my hair and went to bed. The next morning I could not believe how soft and shiny my hair was. My hair hasn't felt this great in years!!! I've now been using Argan Oil on my hair for over two weeks and I love how my hair looks and feels! I strongly recommend this product to anyone who wants to repair there dry damaged hair or anyone who simple wants to try a new treatment that will leave your hair soft and silky :)

The Lemon and Water Cleanse!

So yesturday I was talking to my sister-in-law about Herbalife's 21-day cleanse(she is a rep for the company). The cleanse requires that you reduce your calorie intake and take the pills they give you for 21 days. They say you should do there cleanse 2x a year! She really wanted me to try it but why would I take pills and watch what I eat when I can just do the Lemon and Water Cleanse and it will give me the same results? The Lemon and Water Cleanse is not only gentle on your body but the most natural way to detox and flush out your liver. It's really easy to make just add lemon to a cup(8 ounces) of warm water and drink it every morning for about 2 weeks. It will gently eliminate toxins from your liver which is why it is also called the "liver flush" and has been used for many years to naturally cleanse the body. Also when you drink this regularly there are some long term benefits to your liver health and over all health. I hope this has helped you if you are thinking of detoxing or cleansing your body. I recommend that you give the Lemon and Water Cleanse a try before buying any of those pricey cleansing/detox system and get the same results.
