I’ve never tried a diet, but when I see that I am overindulging myself with some kind of bad food I try to cut it out for a while just to slim down or maybe reduce the portions I am eating of it!

I want say some things about Dieting there are so many people are around the world they don’t have a single bread for their breakfast, lunch, dinner they hungry so much but they didn’t gate what they say about their life they already have so many days dieting do you think about that actually I’m telling my real life story when I go some party I really avoid to have that food I’m thinking other people so that point I come back my house and have simple food. Who are well settle in their home they should at list a week one day dieting or fisting and that day’s balanced food distributed poor people I like this kind of dieting or fisting.

A piece of advice: go to the gym, run or simply walk. And eat a lot of everything…

I have tried special diets before. I tried fasting on vegetable juice, not to lose weight, just to cleanse my body and clean out my colon. I also starting using Isagenix products which they say is a lifestyle not a diet. I found the quality of their products to be very good. I find the greatest diet is balance same as the dialogue between Dale and Amy suggests. This is a work in progress for me. I’m working on it every moment of every day. I started off today pretty good, with a nice balance. The key for me, I believe, is making positive choices in my diet particularly during times of stress or unexpected changes in my plan and schedule. In the past that has thrown me for a loop and sometimes out of balance. I’d like to improve in this area.

I’ve never tried a diet or specifically diet. But I tried to do exercise going to a gym and other times I used to eat less amount of food (specially less of bread, sweets, chocolate, snacks…).


My particular weakness is chocolate, also ice-cream and in general terms everything sweet or candy. I’ve always preferred sweet food than savory.

 I like to coffee with much sugar and milk. I think I should cut out the portion of them in coffee. I don’t know what portion is good for me. but my tongue knows already the taste.


I want to stick to the principle that is not much sugar. I doesn’t work well. want to slim down? for me, i don’t know.
