I think we all know it in our gut.  There are not short cuts!

Skipping meals and starving yourself doesn't work.

Starting a juice cleanse will stress out your body and the pounds will come right back (and often more!) as soon as you resume regular, healthy eating.

Intermittent fasting is at an all time high in popularity right now, but not all of the research shows that it is beneficial for women.

For example, the use of artificial dyes and colors in processed foods is banned in Norway and Austria.  In 2009, the British government promised to st...
