Proper breakdown of macros and calories
I have done quite a bit of research. 1,400 calories guarantees you a nice steady weight loss while not starving you in the process.

As a result, we feel obligated to finish meals, even if we are full. Something that worked for me was throwing away any food left after a…

Food Scale
Hi All, I just bought a digital food scale and its great (I was using a manual one, you know with the arrow and the lines? ugh).
