PUT SIMPLY...

The food that I eat is from the top 3 lists... These foods are not only good at preventing cancer, but are good for heart health, as well as a diet for losing weight. Bear in mind that losing weight is only achieved when one reduces one's intake of food. If the intake is not reduced, one will not lose weight not matter how healthy the food is that you are eating.
