It's the New Year and I know many of you are wanting to get healthy... be more fit and maybe lose some weight. Well, sometimes as we all know, it can be difficult to do...but not because of something you are doing wrong! Many of our foods are processed and enhanced with additives & fillers to help with flavor & texture. These fillers can be very detrimental to your health and can stop your body from losing weight.
