Q: What should we call this diet? A: Call it the Bulgarian diet, call it Ivan D.'s diet, call it whatever you want, I don't care.

I just claim that some of your individual lifestyle's patterns can be contributing much more to your being fit and well than what and how much you eat. Indeed, I do claim that observing my Ten Golden Rules as strictly as possible warrants good health and fit body, and alleviates - actually makes completely obsolete - the need of counting ... |
