EATING PLANTS - I LOST WEIGHT Eating plants, all animals, some of each. Which is best? I know, I know. <sigh> If you've been following me for any length of time at all, you know that my struggle with diet is real. I'm definitely what professionals would call a yo-yo dieter. And that doesn't seem to be changing any time soon. But I shift what I'm eating for good reasons. Usually, it's because I get 'symptoms' in my body. What I mean by that...

Basically, for either plan you make starch the center of every meal you eat. The biggest difference is that on the basic plan,...

My History With Home-Based Businesses I remember first hearing about home-based businesses when I was a child, probably around age eight or ten. I babysat for someone who was a Jafra rep, though I didn't know what that meant. Just that she had some unique skincare products in her bathroom with royal bee honey in them-that part stuck with me.
