Weight Loss Success Story From Mari
Here’s a success story I received from Mari. She lost 18 lbs in 30 days! And her boyfriend did a diet with her, and lost 24 lbs!
“I have always had to struggle with my weight, ever since I was a pre-teenager at twelve. I started following your program a month ago, and have since lost 18 lbs.
I have followed other diets before - Weight Watchers and Well 4 Life, the group settings increased my enthusiasm but didn’t work for me when I got home.
Your Foolproof 30-day Diet Plan is the most wonderful change to my life that I have ever done. It was an easy to follow diet plan with shopping list, menu plans and cooking instructions, it was the start to a lifetime change for me. My boyfriend started eating what I was eating and lost 24lbs.
This plan has made such a difference in my life! I will recommend it to everyone who has seen such a drastic difference in me…..”

FDA Requires Including Trans Fats On Food Labels In 2006
Currently the food manufacturers are not required to reveal the amount of trans fats on the food labels (they only list the total fat and saturated fat. But it’s all going to change very soon. The Food And Drug Administration requires that starting January 1st 2006 the food labels must list the amount of trans fats. That’s great news, since those trans fats are really bad for your health!
There are 2 ways this new rule will benefit us:
1) You will now be informed and will have a choice to opt for products with fewer trans fats
2) Many food manufacturers will reduce or even eliminate trans fats in their foods to avoid the drop in sales

So to reduce back pain, participate in physical activities that use your whole body without straining your back.
