How to lose weight<br><br> If I don't eat much and I do bodyweight will i get in shape?
MrMuchimi
Not eating doesn’t help! it just weakens your body!!! try focusing on specific health benefits and choosing the right type of food instead of the amount of food you eat. Getting in shape is a different experience for everyone because of body types. Try and experiment with different techniques and find what you think is best for you!
