| | Wellness Challenge - Refrain From Having Desserts & Sweets For A Week | | For the upcoming weekly challenge we are challenging the participants to "refrain from having dessert and sweets for a week.” Eating too many of these empty calories has many health effects, the most obvious being major weight gain. Added sugar drives your insulin levels up, messes with your metabolism, and causes those calories to turn right into belly fat. For more information and to participate in the challenge, click here.
