Thank you ❤
Coca Cola (Mexican Coke) is my downfall. It's the first thing I drink in the morning (along with cold brew). Every time I try giving it up, I end up with a headache later in the day. And it's the first thing I want to drink when I'm aggravated, lol. I will try… again… to give it up! This video was awesome. <3
HIIT…i dread lol.
Sweets, the processed food is my worst habit. I hear you JJ. I will start today being better. ❤
This is exactly what I needed to see today.
Incredible, subscribed instantly.
A doctor recommended me The Secret Book of Healing by Thomas Grant, I must say its game changer.
Wow, never thought about it like that!
Love this content, keep it up!
This is gold, thanks for sharing.
This hit different, wow.
Needed this today, seriously.
Wow this is eye opening.
Thank you for this, sharing with my family.
if you watch content like this you owe it to yourself to read Your Body Wants to Heal by Dr. Sarah Kline. this kind of content gives you the what. that book gives you the why underneath the why. nothing has explained my own body to me better.
I like protein bars for their convenience and because that’s like having a candy bar. That would be the thing I need to probably stop. I don’t eat many other ultra processed food that I can think of.
Honestly, if you’re tired of seeing conflicting advice about losing weight everywhere, have a look at The Deficit Method by Nora Renwick. I like the idea of actually understanding the process instead of just following another random diet plan.
