Thankyou for this video... it makes perfect sense. I know a lot of people who live on candy and Red Bull but maintain a low weight - I would hate to see what their health is like in the long run...

Hi!

You're so welcome and I'm so happy that you enjoyed the video.

You are TOTALLY right about the way most people live - they think that just because they don't add pounds it means that they're healthy, which is more often than not completely untrue! It will catch up to them sooner or later.

Eating high quality food is so important, it goes way beyond just reading the scale!
