Willian’s contract has been terminated at Arsenal. The out of favour attacking midfielder has terminated his contract with the club by mutual consent. Willian was rumoured to be leaving the club this transfer window. Eyes are now set on a return to Brazil side Corinthians. It had been rumoured previously that a move was likely to occur with Arsenal helping with the high wages, however with the club terminating his contract that opens the door for a new deal to be struck.

Mikel Arteta forced a late move in the transfer window from Everton to Arsenal ten years ago and now Ainsley Maitland-Niles is set to reverse that move. Maitland-Niles has said he wants to leave Arsenal in a social media post earlier today. With a bid from Everton is being considered by the Gunners, he is on track to replicate and reverse what Arteta did a decade later. It is understood the Gunners rejected a loan bid from the Toffees over the weekend.

The Dutch outfit wanted to sign Amad Diallo from Man United but he has suffered an untimely thigh injury in training and will stay put. Reports are out that Feyenoord have now moved for Nelson who is set to join them on a season-long loan. Nelson’s current Gunners contract expires next summer.

I Am Cutting Out Sugar In My Coffee

- Roshan

I am cutting out sugar from my daily food as part of trying out the Keto diet. I have been wanting to try out Keto for a long while now, ever since I heard of a couple of colleagues at work losing their weight due to it. I read about it and read about it but I was worried about the sugar. How do I drink my coffee without sugar? Well there is sugar free stuff and substitutes and there is also the butter coffee or bulletproof coffee. I tried the bulletproof coffee yesterday evening but didn’t like it. Today morning I just cut out the sugar and I am ok with it. 

Get started cutting down on sugar with these tips:

  • Toss the table sugar (white and brown), syrup, honey and molasses. Cut back on the amount of sugar added to things you eat or drink regularly like cereal, pancakes, coffee or tea. Try cutting the usual amount of sugar you add by half and wean down from there.
  • Swap out the soda. Water is best, but if you want something sweet to drink or are trying to lose weight, diet drinks can be a better choice than sugary drinks.
  • Eat fresh, frozen, dried or canned fruits. Choose fruit canned in water or natural juice. Avoid fruit canned in syrup, especially heavy syrup. Drain and rinse in a colander to remove excess syrup or juice.
  • Compare food labels and choose products with the lowest amounts of added sugars. Dairy and fruit products will contain some natural sugars. Added sugars can be identified in the ingredients list.
  • Add fruit. Instead of adding sugar to cereal or oatmeal, try fresh fruit (bananas, cherries or strawberries) or dried fruit (raisins, cranberries or apricots).
  • Cut the serving back. When baking cookies, brownies or cakes, cut the sugar called for in your recipe by one-third to one-half. Often you won’t notice the difference.
  • Try extracts. Instead of adding sugar in recipes, use extracts like almond, vanilla, orange or lemon.
  • Replace it completely. Enhance foods with spices instead of sugar. Try ginger, allspice, cinnamon or nutmeg.
  • Substitute. Switch out sugar with unsweetened applesauce in recipes (use equal amounts).
  • Limit Non-nutritive Sweeteners. If you are trying to lose weight, a temporary fix to satisfying your sweet tooth may be with non-nutritive sweeteners. But watch out! Make sure that swapping sugary options for non-nutritive sweeteners now doesn’t lead to eating more later.
