Cut out sugar, bread, and liquids with empty calories. Eat meat, fruits, and veggies -- even frozen ones. You'll drop weight very fast switching to high meat and veg, and dump the carbs/sugars. For those of you who are…
Except you really don't have a choice, the internet allows companies to hold programs hostage and you have no market power. The modern internet is one giant computer which companies unofficially own or control. By…
