Eating Well and Activity
There is a difference between dieting and eating well. Diets are restrictive, dictating, and usually unsustainable. In my opinion, Keto, Paleo, any of the crazy elimination diets are not good. While a diet will work in the short-term, for me, I always gained more. This time is very different. I am not dieting. I am… Continue reading Eating Well and Activity
