Fibre: A Food Supplement to Swear By |
|
Alethea Boire dieted without success her whole life starting with the Cabbage Soup Diet at age 13. "I remember trying Weight Watchers when I was a little bit older like late teens, early 20s, tried the whole Atkins phase,tried just sort of calorie restriction. Exercise has never been a problem for me, so it wasn't a matter of not exercising," she said. It wasn't until she discovered the benefits of fibre that Alethea was able to lose weight, and keep it off.
