Diet Fads

I remember my first bottle of Metabolife. I think I was 15ish. My mom bought them! We both started to take these miracle pills loaded with what later would be labeled as a dangerous, heart attack inducing drug, ephedrine.


America is so obsessed with weight and being thin that the cornerstone of what gets you there AND keeps you there is thrown out the window: Health!!

Believe me, we all want to be and look the best we can and as quickly as we can, however, there are certain rewards to be reaped from doing it the old fashioned way through proper nutrition and exercise.

Many of the rewards can't be seen but they can be measured. Lower cholesterol and blood pressure are just a couple of those rewards. Treat your inside to the same attention you give to your outside. Manicures, pedicures, nice make-up, wrinkle creams, expensive shampoos and hair potions to achieve shiny and healthy hair.


Changing your diet and consuming the right amounts of healthy fats and oils can save you a lot of money on these beauty products.


They work from the inside out...giving your skin, hair, and nails a healthy glow and appearance that we pay hundreds for at the salon. In fact, take a look at a few of your products labels and many of them contain these oils.

Aside from the benefits mentioned above, the reward of knowing that you accompished a healthy-self without cheating and without taking any shortcuts is one that feels better than any quick (and usually temporary) result brought to you by a pill or fad diet.
