I agree completely- something that talks long-term and not just quick fix. I don't know about you but the Heart Assoc is probably pretty trustworthy.

I love this concept! I am sick of the fad diets. Also I like the whole law of attraction concept where thinking negative brings negative energy and positve thoughts lead to success.
