Herbs occupy an important place in my kitchen.

We know that fad diets are the least healthy choices when it comes to weight loss.

Unfortunately people still choose them and risk serious health problems.

One of the major disadvantages of these diets is the yo-yo effect which makes people gain much more weight than they manage to lose.

1. Lose up to 20 pounds in just one week. This cannot possibly be true. The explanation is actually very simple. Think about how much time you (more…)

I spend many hours at the office and when I get out from work in the evening I feel so tired that I don’t feel like going to the gym and work out for an hour.

If I were isolated on an island and given the opportunity to take some things with me, coffee would be one of them.

Like many of you, I need this magnificent liquid to wake up in the morning.

Actually, coffee is one of the reasons I get out of the bed more cheerful, especially in the days I lack energy.

However, you must know that I don’t enjoy drinking plain coffee.

To me coffee is like a concert and its tune can be made more harmonious with some whole milk, granulated sugar or chocolate syrup. But what if you’re on a diet? Should you give up this delightful drink? Not really…
