    Maple Syrup Diet..

    I did this diet but i was adviced only to use it for a week. Well, i can tell you that it's disgusting. It made me feel so weak and hungry. Off course you loose weight because you're not getting any calories but it's only water, no fat. It's suitable for people who wanna detox but definitely not...

    I think this time of the year is difficult for anybody on a diet. In Holland we also had "Sinterklaas" on 5th December. I don't know if you know what that is but it's like Santa. Little kids get a lot of presents and there's a lot of food, sweets, etc. I survived this day and i will survive...

    I think you should have a good conversation with yourself girl because your post is full of contradictions. "ss or nothing" you say but is that so true? You don't ss so your choice is nothing. The nothing in your case means no diet at all i think and that's why you eat. Once you ruined it you...

    Artyjoe...and again!
