Fad Diets: All You Can Eat in a Week

Posted on by

This one is another starvation diet with a very low calorie count every day. Although it can be attractive by telling you to have “all you can eat”, the monotony of eating only a single food every day can lead you to abstain from eating at all later in the day because you just can’t bear to eat that one flavor again.

During the week, these days … Continue reading →

Diet pills do not work because the goal of them is to make me eat less. I really do not have a problem with that. This might sound crazy from someone whose goal is to lose 100 pounds (95 to go), but it is very true. My body lives in a mode of starvation. I am often sluggish, tired and cranky. Any attempt to lose weight on … Continue reading →
