I remember reading the adage, “Just because you think you’re hungry doesn’t mean you really are”. So how did I reduced my hunger pangs? I have replaced the food that we buy at home with more low fat milk (I love Farmhouse!), nuts like Almond or Brazillian, lots of...

I have to admit, I have done that a lot in the past, not so much these days. I always wondered how some of my friends hit the jackpot while I’m still trudging away making ends meet. While I am aware that it’s unhealthy, I used it to energize my motivation to improve myself. Yes,...
