    Re: Snacks

    I have read that beef jerky increases appetite, not sure why...maybe the corn syrup? You might want to research that! Same with diet sodas and slim fast type drinks.

    Re: Pound of Cure method?

    My favorite is Joe's Mean Green, it's got a lot of protein in it. I did a juice fast back in my "yo-yo" fad dieting stage, and I dropped a lot and gained it back. However, I still love some of the...
