Name any diet gimmicks or fads you have ever tried.:)

Just eating less, and exercising more and doing it right. Simple, slower, and sane. Here are a couple things I have tried in…

I just thought it interesting that onion powder and garlic powder have calories when so many other spices don't contain any. Why wasn't I aware those 2 did? Good to know..
