The first part of this weight loss journey is coming to an end in a few short months. I can’t believe how fast the year has gone. I am down almost 40lbs. I have taken up scuba again and have truly enjoyed how this year has turned out. I am a new person with a new body. My journey is going to continue even after the Fresh Diet. 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 [...]

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

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.
