8. This sounds really gross but it works for me

I toast bread, load it up with butter, chew it to get the sensation of eating bread, and then instead of swallowing it, I give it to my dog who comes running when he hears the toaster.

I bought a Breville Juicer and have replaced lunch and dinner with organic vegetable juice and a small amt of protein. Lost 6 lbs in 2 weeks.

When I need a chocolate fix, I put a small amt of vanilla half and half, a teaspoon of coca power and use d'ribose to sweeten. Yum!!
