What your friend or partner eats may help them lose weight and stay healthy; unfortunately it doesn't mean it will work for you.

- Eat garlic
- Be good to your lymphatic system
- Be easy on the soy
- Make your own food as much as possible
- Incorporate lemon into a meal/water every day
- Buy organic if and when you can
- Use a water filter
- Go green in your kitchen and bathroom
