Taking Off the Fatsuit-The Journey of Transformation: SPICY CHILI MANGO-TANGERINE CHICKEN

Rolling with It

Anyone who faces the daunting task of losing weight can attest that it isn't easy to face it down and be the quicker drawer than the temptations of the goodies. But with anything in life, if you believe you can, then you WILL beat it, achieve it, BE IT! I've tried so many fad diets and had two stomach surgeries to tell you today that the BEST way and EASIEST way is to tackle that bull by the horns with a well-rounded, nutritionally sound meal plan. It is a lifestyle and not a temporary solution to a permanent problem. You cannot achieve your goals and dreams without a sensible, long term plan. My plan of choice is the Biggest Loser Nutrition Plan. If you are not familiar with it, find your nearest local bookstore and search for any of their books, from The Biggest Loser Fitness Plan to their cookbook and beyond. They are very informative and will help you reach that dream in the healthiest way possible! Good luck and happy shrinking!
