Eating alone began as a matter of circumstance.
In the spring of 2020, as my world shrunk to the square footage of my apartment, food became a mode of injecting pleasure and delight into an otherwise bleak and lonely period of my life.

Weight loss influencer Lexi Reed has revealed that she is back in the hospital due to severe stomach and leg pain, two months after she suffered kidney failure and was put into a medically-induced coma.

We all know that when love is good, it’s really good. Research shows that romantic attachments, when they’re healthy and supportive, can be immensely beneficial for our health.

Many people believe long-term weight loss is next to impossible; I have heard over and over again that 99 per cent of diets fail and people on them end up as fat, if not fatter, than when they started.
