| OK,,,being honest here,,, I missed #1,,thought all food should be low fat, #3 surprised me,,missed it too..#7..I thought you cant get any better than fresh veggies...and #6...I thought fad diets were just a quick money maker for someone,,not really a good diet without results too.
Maybe this is why I am on a diet! :)Missed 4 out of 10! |

| I didn't do too bad, I've learned heaps from watching 'The Biggest Loser' show on t.v. (now the aussie version). I find the show very interesting as many of the contestants go through much more than just a physical transformation.
