  • I believe the U.S. also allows a lot more "crap" to be put in our food than Europe allows. Generally foods made to be "low fat" have chemicals added to them to make them taste good while being low fat. We also have HFCS in just about every food product made here.

  • I just used my blender. It works fine. I made large batches of things, put the blended food into an ice cube tray and covered it with plastic wrap until it was frozen.

  • Carbs give you a false sense of hunger. Let me see if I can explain this so that it makes sense. There's two kinds of carbs; whole and refined. Whole carbs are good for you.

  • You can't target one specific area of your body for weight loss. You can target toning, but not weight loss. And sadly, when losing weight, the belly is usually the last place to lose.
