Karen Sussman:  

tinyurl dot com forward slash blog2016 I am ON FACEBOOK- Much more info, photos, videos on youtube under "smartkidsmom" or "sussmank" (use that for FB & to e me too) I've lived in Southern CA on and off since 1995 (mostly on). I had a son, on 1/27/05. :) ) I am happily living with OUT his father, a VERY handsome and intelligent (Mensa) guy, Glenn. We've dated and we're engaged but are just co-parents now. We met 2/6/03. Check out my photo (and website ocraw)...you wouldn't recognize me on the street. I love hearing from old friends/acquaintances.

(avocados, cold-pressed-extra virgin olive oil, raw walnuts and raw macadamia nuts, etc.)Eating raw, unprocessed fats HELP you lose weight. Try it- if nothing else give up dairy and look for the substitutes. That was the way I lost 23 pounds, adding healthy (yet fatty) food caused me to lose the rest. My goal is to teach people how YUMMY and easy it is to eat 'healthy'. Don't do high (animal) protein (causes osteoporosis!). Nor 'low fat' you need plenty of GOOD fat!
