What is certain is that if you resort to strict diets such as increased protein or very low in calories, you will suffer unjustly.

It would be good to think of changes that you could make in your life more easily. Below are examples that you can apply having a strong effect on weight loss, increased metabolism and the treatment of emotional overeating.
