Forever 21 Sends Atkins Bars to Customers and It Got Ugly
With all of our fashion might we want to believe this was done with good intentions. Nevertheless, the internet was met with displeasure today as news spread that Forever 21 Sends Atkins Bars to its customers; INCLUDING those who ordered plus size clothing. Yikes.
Forever 21 Sends Atkins Bars to Customers and It Got Ugly
Now being that it is summer and this brand is geared towards teens and the 20s set. Many of us probably are obsessing about how we currently look in our bikinis and IG photos. So then, Forever 21 may have felt like they were doing all of their consumer base a favor by sending out a mass supply of “healthy” conscious bars.
However, let’s get real. We are living in a world where a sneeze is enough to offend someone. Much less a popular clothing brand giving off the impression that it’s fans are well… fat. Therefore, how’d did everyone in the F21 corporate office miss this flub?
Several customers who received their fashion orders along with the bars took to social media in order to air their displeasure. Many were immediately offended by the gesture. Feeling that Forever 21 should apologize for their error. Some of their thoughts:
“I am FUMING that Forever 21 is actually sending Atkins Bars in Plus Size orders. Are you LITERALLY KIDDING me?? What is wrong with you?!”
“Yes shame on me for ordering from Forever 21 but why do they have to push diet food on me? It came with an Atkins bar.”
“Since Forever 21 feels I should go on a fad diet; maybe now is a good time to tell you all about my already existing fitness journey that doesn’t include Atkins Bars or Forever 21!”
“Forever 21 is a garbage company, and their PR team can choke.”
So How Should We Proceed Captain?
Strong words, huh? Well as of yet right now, Forever 21 is still keeping lips sealed. There are no current statements about the Atkins Bars or any formal apology.
While there is a multitude of customers who are upset about this food delivery. Still others are totally okay with it. Even prompting those who are mad that they received them; to forward the bars to them instead. One F21 fan said, “Bruh, its free food… shut up and eat it!”
Thus, showing that in this world it hard to please or satisfy anyone. We will await to see how Forever 21 decides to handle this situation.

The GreenPrint Project -Eat Vegan See Beyonce in Concert for Life!
Beyoncé put out one post and she already has fans shoveling in grass. Okay, that is a little drastic, but the point is that many are now willing to give a vegan diet a try. The GreenPrint Project is a “system” that was created to help people get healthier and in turn sexier by turning to a plant based diet.
As a result, Beyoncé and her hubby, Jay Z are challenging their fans to consume better foods. Both Bey and Jay have been apt vegan dieters and the results are in the vegan pudding. When Queen Bey slims ALL THE WAY down this is the diet secret she uses. Therefore, if it is good enough for the queen, now we all can finally have the body of a celebrity… without the knife or needle.
The GreenPrint Project -Eat Vegan See Beyonce in Concert for Life
So then, how does this all work? Marco Borges, the trainer of Beyoncé and Jay Z; and the mastermind behind GreenPrint Project briefly summarizes it this way,
“The Greenprint is a program for a health transformation. It is also a blueprint for plant-based eating. And, yes, it is vegan, but with a difference.
You don’t have to change every item in your diet. Start with one change like meatless dinners and build on that. The road to well-being starts with making informed decisions that will help you shop, cook, eat and feel better.
Did you know? The best sources of protein are plant based; like beans, whole grains, nuts and seeds. Love food that loves you back. Love food that will give you health and vitality.”
Want to take the plunge so that you can win some Bey tickets? Well, to get started all you need is a positive attitude, determination, 22 days; along with Marcos Borges 22 Day Nutrition Program. Acook book that tells you everything you have to do.
Yes, you will need to be firmly dedicated for 22 days straight. Why? Well, Borges is utilizing the proven technique that it takes 22 days to make something a habit. So in 22 days you will be more in the swing of things when it comes to eating vegan. So much so you may never go back.
Furthermore, the online 22 Days Meal Planner (which comes as a $14 monthly subscription, so we are not referring to the book in this case); comes with meal plans, assistance and even a food delivery option if you live in certain areas. This will no doubt help you to stay on track and focused on reaching your goal.
Our next post will be pretty in-depth when it comes to the nutrition plan. So if you are really wanting to try this out be sure to read it.
Besides the 22 day plan, picking of The GreenPrint Project book itself will be very helpful. What’s inside? The GreenPrint Project page had this to say,
“The most revolutionary plant-based lifestyle is here! With meal plans, more than 60 delicious recipes; step-by-by guidelines; and inspirational success stories; the book will forever change your approach to food and your perspective on health.”
The GreenPrint Project -Eat Vegan See Beyonce in Concert for Life (Continued)
However, one quick word on the free concerts for life. Yes, the contest is very real. To enter you must sign up online at www.thegreenprintproject.com and pledge to give the vegan lifestyle a try. Must be 18 years and older, plus be a U.S. resident.
If you do win you can expect one free concert per tour. Lastly, the free concerts will only be for up to 30 years. So kinda not quite a lifetime (LOL); BUT, that places Bey and Jay in their 70s-80s so you probably will not miss much.

Today, we are going to share with you several Healthy Ice Cream Flavors that taste almost too good to be true.
Healthy Ice Cream Flavors -Treat Yo’ Self Without Guilt
Live the ice cream fairy tales loves. While most ice cream brands will easily run you around 200 calories for just a half of cup serving. How does eating a half cup with only 75 calories sound? Do you we have your attention? Because it’s real.
Ice cream brand Halo Top serves up flavors that start at just 240 calories PER PINT! You see, Halo Top changes the game because they have made a few tweaks. The brand utilizes prebiotic fiber to rid there products of some of the fat; AND replaces some sugar with stevia and erythritol. So you get to enjoy a yummy, creamy taste in a more low-cal fashion.
Halo Top is made with milk and cream, but their flavors are quite extensive. Be sure to try out:
- Mint Chip
- Birthday Cake
- Chocolate
- Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (this is honestly Halo Top’s best flavor and it is the BOMB!)
- Peanut Butter Cup
- Cinnamon Roll
- Sea Salt Caramel
- Strawberry
- Red Velvet
Healthy Ice Cream Flavors -Treat Yo’ Self Without Guilt (Continued)
Ben & Jerry’s are such rockstars of the ice cream world. Therefore, it is amazing that they have taken the time to revamp. No, all the usual “full fat” creations are still available; however, now you can also get healthier Ben & Jerry’s.
In 2018, the brand launched a new ice cream line called Moo-phoria. What’s the difference? In a nutshell (sorry we couldn’t resist lol); there’s less calories, fat and sugar in each pint. Works out to about 150 calories per half cup. Also, another plus is that each Moo-phoria ice cream is completely made with organic dairy.
So then, what are the flavors? You can lick yourself up some:
- Chocolate Milk & Cookies
- P.B. Dough (LAWD we love this one!)
- Caramel Cookie Fix
So then, there you have it. You do not have the go the rest of your life without a delicious dessert here or there. However, always remember to take things in moderation so that all of your hard work is not derailed. Spoons up loves!

Getting Stronger But Not Bigger- How to Lift and Stay Lean
Getting stronger but not bigger IS possible, and we have the photo evidence to prove it! PLUS… did you know there is a major factor that will determine if you will bulk up at all? Actually, there are several and we are going to tell you about all of them. So then, put aside any hesitancy or reservations you may have about picking up a weight; because now it’s time to learn how to lift and stay lean!
Getting Stronger But Not Bigger- How to Lift and Stay Lean
As we have all been taught, it is true … that “seeing is believing.” One of the many fears us girls have when it comes to lifting, is that we are going to put on a dress for date night and resemble Arnold’s The Terminator. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth.
As a result, we thought that the best way for you to believe anything we are about to tell you about lifting; is if you can see what it really does with your own eyes. Sound good? Awesome, then keep scrolling to see 7 great examples of famous women who lift regularly.

Getting Stronger But Not Bigger- How to Lift and Stay Lean (Continued)
So then, did you notice anything about the above women? You know, other than they all have amazing bodies that would even look fabulous in a paper sack? Hopefully you took note that they all are still THIN and are very TONED thanks to LIFTING.
Yes, lifting isn’t an enemy. In fact, it can not only help you lose weight, but keep it off. Muscle burns fat. Time and time again science has proven that when you exercise you are using your muscle groups.
The more you use them the more opportunity to build muscle mass. The resulting muscle tissue will burn more calories, even when you are at rest! According to some research and studies, even 10 pounds of muscle would burn an additional 50 calories in a day spent at rest.
While on the contrast, 10 pounds of fat would burn only 20 calories. That is over 50% less of a calorie burn. So then, which would you rather work to have more fat or more muscle?
Getting Stronger But Not Bigger
Here is where working hard to gain more lean muscle comes into play. If you are able to maintain your muscle mass you will most likely find yourself in the group of people who keep from gaining weight as they get older. However, to maintain your muscle mass you will need to strength train. There is no way or shortcut around it; AND doing only cardio will not do it for you either.
Nevertheless, knowing all of that is wonderful, but if you do not do it out of fear of becoming “bulky” you will do yourself a major disservice. Oftentimes, the bulkiness look occurs when one is eating way too much while lifting weights. A lot of guys do this method in order to look “bigger.” However, it really boils down to one having excess body fat. While a calorie deficit will help you lose excess, when strength training you should never go below a 25% calorie deficit; or you may jeopardize your training from not being able to sustain your diet/workout routine.
If you are someone trying to be leaner the goal should be to add muscle without excess size. This can be achieved by stopping one or two reps before failure. Meaning before you literally cannot do another rep. If you push the muscle past failure and fatiguing you will encourage the muscle to add size. Therefore, your focus should be on gaining more strength while avoiding failure in order to build a more firm as well as dense looking muscle.

Take Advantage of Fresh Produce
With produce at its peak during the summer months, now is the perfect time to indulge in nature’s finest by eating the freshest vegetables.
- Tomatoes: Slicing one cup of raw tomato for your lunch salad gives you as much as 40 percent of your recommended daily intake of vitamin C and 20 percent of your daily vitamin A.
- Avocados find their way into salads, dressings and on top of burgers regularly, so it’s a good thing that they’re full of fiber, vitamins B5, B6, C, K, folate and potassium, as well as cell-protecting antioxidants.
- Greens: Beet greens, dandelion greens, spinach, lettuce and Swiss chard are all in season throughout the spring and summer months. These greens contain protein and iron, and are full of the cell-protecting and repairing antioxidants, vitamins C and A, as well as B vitamins and fiber. Not only do they make a great salad, but you can toss them into a blender, along with some fresh fruit for a green smoothie.
- Bell peppers make a colorful addition to a snack, salad or meal, but there’s more to this crunchy fruit than meets the eye. Bell peppers contain phytochemicals called carotenoids, which give them their bright colors – and a diet high in carotenoid-dense foods has been associated with reducing the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, and age-related eye diseases.
