Thursday Jan 07, 2016
Happy New Year! If you're at all like me, you've realized that all you did during the month of December was eat really rich foods, and "forget" to exercise. But, no worries, because it's time to start that diet with a juice cleanse, right?
Not so much. Today, we look at the reasons why juice cleanses are not really the best for weight loss (or detoxing), and what you can do instead.

On this episode of the Healthy Gamer Girl Podcast, we talk about whether coffee or green tea is the healthier option. Is one really better for you than the other? Are either really healthy beverages? What should you drink before a raid? Which one will keep you powered up through seven hours of garrison maintenance? As a semi-professional coffee drinker, and former barista, I actually found this to be a really cool topic, and I hope you do, too!
