We have probably all heard that you are what you eat. It is true. It is pretty hard for your body to keep you healthy and running in tip top shape if you arent giving it the nutrients it needs. If you don’t take care of your vehicle, it won’t run very well and will eventually leave you stranded on the side of the road. It’s the same with your body. If the only thing you feed it is junk food like potato chips, soft drinks, sugary foods, and fast food, it won’t take long for y… more…

In my opinion, any diet that doesn’t allow for desserts, at least once in a while, is a diet that is doomed to fail. I know there are diets out there that are designed to help you get rid of sugar cravings and therefore ban sugar from your diet.

Dieting means following a pre-designed pattern of food intake in order to attain certain specific short-term goals.

The Milk Diet is a diet that was promoted by Bernarr Macfadden in the early 1920’s. His belief was that milk was a miracle food and could take the place of all other nourishment. It was touted as a miracle diet that would cure disease and illness, not cause a person to lose weight as is often erroneously believed.
The Milk Diet is definitely a fad diet, at least in my mind, because it promotes having only one food (or beverage in this case) and not having anything else for… more…

The debate over whether diet soda is a dieter’s friend or a dieter’s enemy seems to become more heated every day.
One side is saying diet soda is a great beverage for people trying to lose weight and who want something more exciting to drink than water. The other side is saying diet soda won’t help you lose weight but can actually make you gain weight.
I wish I could give you a definitive answer and say either, “Yes, diet soda is fine to drink when you are trying to los… more…
