A healthy diet plan does not include eating foods you hate in quantities that leave you hungry and miserable. A real healthy diet plan allows you to enjoy the foods you prefer in quantities that leave you full and satisfied. Deprivation does not work. You cannot lose weight let alone maintain ideal weight when you constantly must battle hunger, cravings and starvation.

Many people regularly experience sugar cravings.
Health professionals believe that this is one of the main reasons it can be so hard to stick to a healthy diet.
Cravings are driven by your brain’s need for a “reward” — not your body’s need for food.
If you can have only one bite and stop there, indulging a little when you get a craving is absolutely fine.
But if you tend to binge and overeat as soon as you get a taste of sugary foods, then giving in to the cravings is the worst thing you can do.

Constipation isn’t something we often talk about, unless you hang around with me... But given it affects up to 25% of the population (and mostly women) it means a lot of us are suffering in silence. And while most people think of constipation as just an annoying symptom, it can also be the root cause of other symptoms and conditions, including fatigue, weight gain, low mood, and many more. .. Listen to this podcast to combat your constipation once and for all !
