How many calories do you lose when you laugh?
yes it does Laughter and humor are two emotions that are commonly over looked. This site is here to educate you in a simply way to stay healthy. It's very simple and extremely cheap. All you have to do is laugh.
Does anyone really know the true definitions of Humor or Laughter? I didn't think so. That why I'm here:
Humor: Something, anything a person may find funny. People always have different veiws on what may be funny to them. What maybe funny to you may be annoying to them, and visa versa.
Laughter: laugter is the name we gave to the responce your body gives to something you may find funny or humorous. Examples are a giggle, a chuckle, a snicker, etc.
Some people say that blinking, kissing, and sneezing burns calories but with all the effort and energy that goes into laughing wouldn't you think that laughing would burn calories? Well it does, some people who are on weight loss plans have a section that says to make an effort to laugh. Maybe they would tape a funny joke on their mirror, or maybe they would put a funny photo on a desk.Laughing doesn't burn off pounds but the calories are what builds up to the loss of pounds. I have strong abs because,i always find something to laugh at ;you shouldn't force youself to laugh though,enjoy life;just be happy! :)
How many calories are in 355mL can of beer?

How many calories does each artificial sweetener have?
Short Answer:
They are all calorie free or nearly calorie free when used in normal servings.
Saccharin (sweet n' Low) has approx 1 calorie per gram
Sucralose (Splenda) appears to be truly calorie free
aspartame (Nutrasweet & Equal) has approx 1 calorie per gram
Long answer:
They are all so much sweeter (tasting) than sugar that any minimal calorie content they might have is overcome by the fact that so little is used (by weight).
Saccharin has approx 25% of the calories as carbohydrate (sugars and starches) by weight. It has .9 calories per gram vs. sugar which has 4 calories per gram.
This is offset by the fact that it is 10 times sweeter. So... If you substitute saccharin for sugar you will probably use 1/10th the sweetener by wt, or 1 gram vs. 10 grams.
So let's say 1 gram (1 sweet n' low packet) of saccharin is used instead of 10 grams (approx 2 1/2 teaspoons) of sugar. 10 grams of sugar would have had 40 calories. The 1 gram of saccharin has .9 calories per gram, or approx. 1 calorie (1 gram x .9 calories per gram = .9 calories).
So, instead of 40 calories, you got 1 calorie. Saccharin relies more on the fact that it is REALLY sweet than the fact that it has fewer calories by weight.
BTW, since a packet of any of the artificial sweeteners is considered to have fewer than 5 calories per serving, it can (must?) be labeled as zero calories.
Sucralose appears to be actually calorie free. 0.000... calories per gram. (and is approx 600 times sweeter than sugar!)
Though I never did hear back from "Ask the food scientist" at Equal.com, I did stumble across a few things that came from mainstream sources (e.g. FDA, manufacturers, etc.).
Equal states that aspartame is 200 times sweeter than sugar. It has about 1 calorie per gram. A teaspoon of sugar weighs about 4 grams, and has about 16 calories. The good folks at Equal.com suggest you replace 1 tsp of sugar with 0.5 grams (1/2 a packet) of Equal (aspartame). But, if it's 200 times sweeter (presumably by weight), then 1/2 a packet should be able to replace 25 tsp of sugar, not 1 tsp. Not sure where this disparity comes from.
At any rate, Aspartame appears to give you 97% fewer calories vs. sugar (1/2 a calorie instead of 16).
If you are searching for more info, don't confuse Equal with "Equal Sugar Lite", which seems to be a mix of real sugar and aspartame. It has significantly more calories than aspartame, but significantly fewer than sugar.
