Day 3 Alternative: Fool your palate and shear calories by creating faux mashed potatoes with cauliflower. Generally, cauliflower can be substituted for potatoes on most mashed potato recipes. Substitution works best when less moisture is retained by the cauliflower. As such, the best ways to heat and soften the cauliflower is by steaming or microwaving the cauliflower.

For fuller, glossier hair, healthier looking skin, and stronger nails, try drinking fish oil. We’ve been advised that liquid fish oil works better than tablets for enhancing one’s physical health. TPLL contributors have not tested drinking fish oil for its reported physical regenerative properties – this recommendation comes via the testament of others. However, several TPLL contributors have consumed fish oil tablets [...]
