Day 1: 7 Day Diet
Today, I decided to do this 7 day diet plan that someone posted on Facebook. Now, I am not a great fan of dieting, but I do have like 5 years of extra weight from giving birth to two boys, that I really need to work on to get rid of. Before my wedding day, I did do something similar like this but I did it long term and I managed to shed 10kg without exercise.

How to Decrease Sugar Intake
The last few days, I keep hearing about people getting diabetes that lead to amputation and eventually death. Today, my sis also told me about a mother and son with this horrible disease and how the son did not heed advise to reduce his sugar intake and thus now mother and son are so sick they need a full time nurse to care for them. The bills all footed by a family member who is struggling to stay afloat. My dad has diabetes, so I am considered a high risk group. In comes Stevia, a natural sweetener. I had been using using Stevia for a while but from another brand…
