use this substance to manipulate them into buying their unhealthy
products.

learn how they can quit smoking with no weight gain and no negative
withdrawals.

people learn how they can lose all the excess weight they want naturally,
with no fad or starvation diets.
Participants
then experience their second effective stress reduction technique
that can help them also quit smoking and/or lose excess weight naturally
including stress-related pain.
During
the second half, the therapist focuses on basic nutrition and the
relationship between what they eat and how they think. For example,
how sugar plays a key role in the thought process and its relation
to excess weight and smoking. How smoking is a stimulant not a calming
habit as most smokers incorrectly believe and how smoking is also
a sugar addiction and why when people quit smoking they immediately
want to have something with sugar.
Overweight
people learn how they can lose excess weight naturally, with no
fad or starvation diets and Smokers learn how they can quit smoking
with no weight gain and no negative withdrawals.

the American Cancer Society’s guidelines to eating five servings
of fruit and vegetable daily.

wonderful glasses of water per day to, amongst other benefits, assist

pounds in one month by simply helping them drink more water.
