Can you remember when you were a kid, sitting at the dining table and your mum’s telling you.
You must Eat your Vegetables or there’s no Pudding.

In one of my earlier posts, I commented on the Intake of Calories.
Stating that the more you take on board, the more you have to Burn.
Researchers have shown that if you do not Burn off the excess Calories you have taken on board.
They will be converted into Fat and stored in various parts of your Body.
