By Team TFLA On March 24, 2011 No Comments

Fad diets do one thing really well. They come up with insane justifications for why doing this crazy thing to your body will help you lose weight. Sometimes these arguments are quite compelling and other times they are just plain laughable.

By Team TFLA On February 16, 2011 3 Comments

Size 0…is this really a size because I was under the impression that zero isn’t even technically a number.
