weight loss

This may sound ridiculous, but tapping on your face just might help you lose weight. Okay, it might be a little more involved than that, but not much. I don't care how ridiculous it all sounds, if it works, you know I'll be screaming it from the roof tops...

For years, many diet experts have advised using smaller plates for our food. By doing so, normal portions look bigger and thus fool us into thinking we’ve eaten more than we have.

There are two things I've struggled with personally for a long time: Smoking and my weight. I'm the first one to tell you that smoking is a nasty habit... and I'm a smoker. I don't want to be, but I am. Plus, I've taken off the weight to put it back on more times than I can count.
