Is Your Workplace Secretly Adding Over 1,250 Calories to Your Weekly Intake?

You work in a friendly workplace where someone is always making sure there are delicious snacks in the break room.

The majority of the dishes that aren’t diet friendly Mexican food are typically what we’d find at fast food places. If we make these dishes with fresh ingredients, they’re far better for our health and weight.

Top Diet Trends You Don’t Need or Want

Just because a diet is trendy, doesn’t mean it’s effective. Just because your favorite celebrity does it, it doesn’t mean it’s safe. Let’s get real. This isn’t really news to any of us. Still, we fall for these diets, products and off-the-wall tactics now and again.

Some trendy diets may look miraculous, but they’re often associated with some pretty scary negative health effects. Now that we’re getting well into swimsuit season, it’s easy to start feeling desperate to look our best. Keep reading this post
