You will learn what are the things that you could be doing na (siguro) kaya hindi nagwowork 'yung pagpapayat ninyo and at the same time, kung paano niyo magagamit ang what food to include and what nutrients to include to help with weight-loss."Rachel also said that while it is more than just losing weight, but a change of mindset."It's a change in the way you look at food and the way you relate the food that you eat and your body," she said.Saying that weight-loss is a struggle for a lot of people, Rachel noted that there are things stronger than just willpower, that discipline and willpower are not enough.
