To Diet or To Eat Well
I'm so tired of yo yo dieting. Tried most of them out there..some with a little success but most without much and that's following it to the letter. So this is just a question - do you follow a specific diet (south beach, 20/20, fixology ect) or do you just mind what you eat, keep your calories in check and exercise?
