Is a Detox Diet Right for You? Part 2

In the first part of this blog, we talked about detox diets and the fact that one of the things detox diets do is ‘cleanse’ your body.

Lots of these so called diets talk about how you can lose pounds by cleansing your colon, how there’s all sorts of bad stuff in there, how it’s the land … Continue reading →

Is Detoxification Right for You?

Everything you read and see has a bias and a slant. Sometimes, they’ll tell you up front or sometimes it’s obvious by the organization the writer or reporter represents.

I don’t believe in a miracle cure nor do I think that a cleanse is … Continue reading →

The Magnetic Diet

This diet claims to be revolutionary–don’t they all. None the less, I do recognize that different things work for different people. In reality this only makes sense. Everybody’s bodies are different and our weight struggles are different. Of course we will all respond differently to different diets. Nonetheless, regardless of which diet you choose to follow; be it a simple weight loss plan involving a small change in habits or a massive over haul–the way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you eat. With that said, let’s take a look at the magnetic diet. This diet is … Continue reading →
