Calories to burn

Just sharing one of the emails I got recently.
I wanna know what magazines my blog buddies subscribe too and how well they enjoy them. Currently, I take Readers Digest and from a Christmas gift soon to be Playgirl. (I hear the articles are worth looking at = P )and I take Progressive farmer. Am I eclectic or what??? I am wanting to add another good read so send me your suggestions. I used to take Cosmo, Cooking Light and Country.

The Coolest Way to Burn A Coke that burns calories?
You're not dreaming -- we'd pinch you if we could. Coca-Cola's new, sparkling beverage, Enviga -- featuring Nestea green tea -- hits markets this month with the promise of burning 60 to 100 calories with three 12-ounce servings, as borne out in scientific studies. At only five calories a can, that's a dream exchange. Marketed as "the calorie burner," Enviga contains 20 percent of recommended daily calcium and a special green tea antioxidant, EGCG, that partners with your body and the drink's caffeine to shift your metabolism into power mode. Available in green tea, berry and peach, Enviga pulls off the neat trick of helping you chill while you burn.

Not sure if this is true, but it may be worth a shot????

I subscribe to People. And that's it! Most everything else I just read online.

I've bought somebody's green tea and their peach flavored green tea. It's good but I did notice it makes my heartbeat go up so I don't drink it anymore. I don't want to intentionally trigger my mitral valve.

Playgirl, ey? You must share some of those "articles" with the rest of us?!

I agree with Rachel and read most things online nowadays.

Point of Fact - When the origional Coca Cola was first marketed in 1886 it was advertised as "Esteemed Brain Tonic and intellectual beverage".

Men Suck eh.

I subscribe to Saveur, Bon Apetit, Kiwi magazine, Mothering, Parents, and American Baby. That's alot, I know! And I don't have time to read any of them!

I hope it's true about that new drink!!!

Oh-- my gift certficate for the massage is at Heavenly Hands. But I would definitely be willing to pay to go to the other place (the name escapes me) where we went before where they do it cheaper.

Hi, first-timer on your blog. Kiplinger's Personal Finance is a surprisingly fun-to-read magazine.

I'm curious about Enviga. It must contain a lot of EGCG - I read a while back in Muscle & Fitness magazine that it'd take something like 10-20 cups (sorry can't remember the exact #) of green tea to burn 100 calories from the EGCG in it.

They'll tell you anything to sell a product, it's probably got so much caffiene in it to give you tachycardia !!
