I’ve just started a new way of eating. I’d rather not call it a diet - the word already reads that it will only last a little while… who really sticks to diets anyway?! Time to get Body-Beautiful!!!
Cutting out the carbs is a prefect way to loose weight and cleanse your body from harmful additives, saturated fats & processed foods. In with lean proteins, low carb vegetables, low carb fruits and plenty of water.

Eating no carb doesn’t mean eating isn’t as excited or tasty…. Its important to keep your meals interesting and make sure there is plenty of variety, so you don’t get bored and crave those filling carbs.
The first couple of days are hard, itching for a slice of bread or mashed potatoes or a bowl of pasta. But after the first couple of days you are aware of what you foods will make you beautiful and what are harmful toxins. I’ve created a Body-Beautiful & Toxins list to help you keep on track.
You will be seeing and feeling the result in just a week. Feeling much cleaner and lighter on the inside, skin glowing on the out and reduced bloating.
