It has been an incredible year. Starting new things, taking care of myself both physically and mentally. When you gain weight (at least for me) even though I didn’t let it stop [...]

10 pounds to go…
Hello Everyone, I can’t believe a month has passed already. This get healthy journey that I am on has been great. But I have also had some tough times.

Thankfully I have The Fresh Diet. It helped [...]

Hydrate Yourself- Drink Water!
The Fresh Diet believes in drinking a lot of water, and personally so do I. Water should be your drink of choice while on this diet, because there is so many health benefits associated with drinking it. Water is more beneficial than diet soda even though they both have zero calories. Water has been shown in studies to increase the amount of calories burned and increase the rate of fat breakdown. Drinking more than one liter a day of water (4.5 cups or more a day) was associated with a significantly greater weight loss and smaller waist circumference than diet [...]
