New Sponsor

Hey everyone! I hope you've been having a fantastic week!

I'd like you to help me welcome Zevia as a new sponsor of Healthy Low-Carb Living. Zevia is a diet soda I can feel good about drinking and I'm thrilled they've come on board to help me spread the message about the low-carb lifestyle! With their help I'll be able to continue blogging and keeping you updated on the latest in health, diet and fitness in the low-carb world. (I'll admit to being a slacker on this lately, but that will all be changing soon.)

Zevia is a great tasting alternative to the artificially sweetened diet sodas that are on the market today. Sweetened with stevia, Zevia allows you to enjoy your soda without the worry of chemicals or sugar spikes. They just added two new flavors, so now you can enjoy the following:

Root Beer
Twist (Still my favorite!)
Cola
Orange
Black Cherry
Ginger Ale

Here is a review I wrote last August about Zevia on Examiner.com.

I really appreciate Zevia's support and I hope you do as well. If you'd like to try Zevia for yourself, check out the banner at the top of this page.

Latest from Examiner.com

Well, my little notifier feed thingy-ma-bob over on the right isn't quite working like I'd expected, so I'm going to give a quick update on my latest offerings at Examiner. Here's what I've been talking about lately:

PureVia enters the sweetener race

Authors of Protein Power giving away free books

FDA warns tainted weight-loss products pose great risk to health

Eat Smart Nutrition Scale - smartest scale on the block

Study says sugar as addictive as drugs

Oprah is still battling the bulge

And a four part series on the basics of Atkins:

Atkins basics 101 - induction

Atkins basics 101 - ongoing weight-loss

Atkins basics 101 - pre-maintenance

Atkins basics 101 - lifetime mantainence

Hope you enjoy!

NUVA wants your opinon!

I know it's a shocker to hear that a company actually cares what you think, but I'm finding that the makers of NUVA are cut from a different cloth than other companies. I've been dealing with them on a personal level and I'm very impressed.

You'll see what I mean in today's examiner article where I give you a link to a survey they are doing. And before you think "Ugh. Not a survey!" Let me tell you that it only takes about 5 minutes and everyone that fills it out will get a thank you gift. And I'll appreciate it a whole bunch too! :0)

Please visit my column for details. THANK YOU!
