March 3, 2016 by
I don’t know how Dr. Oz hasn’t featured this study on his show yet. Unlike most of the junk he peddles, this supplement actually has a fair amount of research supporting it. And better yet, the research I’m about to cite was done on HUMANS, not rats. What is this marvelous wonder drug you ask? […]

I have a secret to tell you… You can have a cheat meal and continue to burn fat. And better yet, all of those carbohydrates you just consumed won’t be used to create even more fat. Yes, that’s right. You can splurge on a pizza, ice cream, or spaghetti and not completely ruin your diet. […]
