Holistic Weight Loss

July 27th, 2005

If you think that losing weight and keeping it off is achievable by following a diet plan and going to the gym, you only have half of the story.

By the time I had finished reading about Callie’s weight loss article, I realised where I had gone wrong with all of my previous failed diets.

Strenth training helps you to lose weight and tone up, especially in those wobbly areas such as the derriere!

Low Carb Wine

The article doesn’t explain how the wine is actually made, and Bob Kron, personal trainer, makes an interesting point about the level of sugar in the wine.

“Even though it’s low in carbs, they have to still ferment it somehow, having that in the glass or bottle of wine doesn’t really make it that much better for you.”
