I used to eat real fatty foods, predominantly very meaty, with high fat and cholesterol. It may be because of my upbringing, but I have really made an effort to change things around.

of yogurt as well and drinking plenty of water throughout the day. I think it has helped a lot. I don’t feel bogged down as much throughout the day, and I lost 4 pounds since I changed my diet a month ago. Surprisingly, a few extra dollars to buy healthier foods is worth it.
