Mental focus
Hello everyone, just wanted to share some thoughts. Dieting is all about calories control and exercise, but more importantly its about the mental shifts we make.

Breakfast and metabolism question

I regularly go over by 300 cals. I do however work out 6 days a week, a combination of cardio dance, weight training and interval running…
