Fantabulous...45min of blood sweat and tears, ok maybe thats a bit dramatic but definitely a great work out. I feel that I have been wasting my time with my aerobic sessions all this time until I started to take a militant view and attitude towards bad fats. Why handle it gently when it's out to kill me through heart disease and strokes and a million other fat related problems. Not pussy footing around this enemy anymore.

I still believe it's better not to take supplements and to get all nutrition from fresh whole foods. ONE DAY some time in the future. The time it takes to collect it and prepare it is a major factor in anybodies lifestyle. I dropped one centimeter which is fantastic news. I am ju...
