Hi guys,
just thought I'd share some info that I was told by a naturopath. There
is a substance in artificial sweetners and caffiene that attaches itself
to our fat cells, which then causes any fat loss to be a lot slower.
Anyone else been told a similar theory??
There went my comfort food of diet coke and sugar free chocolate
mousse!!!!
Bye
Dana
