The first day of your new diet was a cakewalk, I know.
The second day you were introduced to a side that you never knew existed, a more carnal side of yourself – you awakened the hungry animal within. The third day you awake in awe that no one was hurt yesterday, and soon realize that you don’t even have enough umph! to get your pants on today.
Does this all sound familiar?
If you want to make your next diet experience less of a battle, and more of an adventure to find out which ingredients work best for losing weight in your body, then you may wish to consider adding vitamins and antioxidants to your diet – lots of vitamins and antioxidants.
