WOW!! I can get info w/out haven 2 get a book (which i can’t afford)this is Great. Thanx so much:)This is gonna b a BIG help w/my taken care of my body & health.
I enjoy this info. Helps to keep me on track. I feel more enthused when I read the hints, etc. I know what I am doing wrong but I always slip back into my old routines, which messes up the plan. I just keep trying. Thx for helping me.
How can we get restaurants to offer the recommended portions? It is rare to find a menu offering these “conservative” portions.
useful no doubt but at 61 with a post-polio osteoporosis &scoliosis i can only do yoga as an exercise but yoga doesn’t shed flab.in a 3rd world country an alternative’s very difficult to discoverfor people like me.i always feel positive whenever i read your articles but till date have failed to implement them.warm regards
