Don’t just wait until you have only 10 pounds to go, use me (us) now too!  Let’s see how FAST we can get that excess weight off.  After all, why not?  Why NOT be perfect and eat only 5 smallish bites of food today?  Are you afraid that the hunger is going to kill you?  Because, when all is said and done and you look back upon it,…[Read more]

The first thing that I can tell you is this: Hunger is a wonderful, HEALTHY symptom that means our body is breaking down fat.  Don’t run from it; rather, cherish and welcome it!  Look forward to being hungry, because ultimately that is the only way we can get this excess weight off.  What sho…[Read more]
