These two women are amazing and so very, very blessed. To have the time to cook fresh food every day or have a food prep day. Oh my, how nice would that be. It’s worth reading both their books to find out how on earth they do this

veryone wants to stay healthy and nutrition is the most important aspect of our health, the procedure with which we utilize food for energy and healthy growth.

Avoiding fats and carbohydrates only makes you little harmless but you cannot think yourself healthier by doing this. To burn fat, you need to eat very carefully. You intake foods of many types like vegetables, fruits, fish, cereals and milk products. A balanced diet plan provides your body a proper ratio of fats, minerals, carbohydrates and proteins.
