How to Burn Belly Fat by Eating Real Food and Doing Less Exercise

Why is Portion Size Important?

Paleo Lunch :We can learn a lot from our caveman ancestors about food, nutrition and portion size. As they walked the earth some 2 million years ago, stone-age hunter gatherers ate small amounts of fruits, vegetables, fish and lean meat throughout the day.
