i did the cabbage diet, the original version from Poland, and i lost 7 pounds in 6 days. it's an unhealthy diet since you don't eat carbs, but you should only do it for 1 week at a time. And most people say its impossible to keep the weight off, but I prove them wrong.



advice

I'm 21 and I do have crooked teeth. I've had crooked teeth for quite sometime now. It's something that runs more so on my dad's side of the family so I may have the gene. Anyways, I think I may need braces and am kinda nervous about wearing them. Could someone who has had braces tell me what I would probabily need to expect and how it was with you having braces?

Thanks

Welcome to my life.

Braces aren't really that bad as most people say. The only painful part about getting braces is when they put in the blue rubber bands between your teeth, it is extremly painful, and usually lasts for about a week. Getting your braces on isn't very painful, but it is very annoying to hold your mouth open and not being able to swallow for half an hour. I've had my braces for almost a year and they're not much of a problem. When you get braces though your restricted from eating many foods including ice, peanut butter, laffy taffy, caramel, gummies of any kind, most candies, and on the list they gave me it said bugs. If you take care of your braces, then the most you'll have them on is about 3-5 years. My sister never took care of hers and had them on for 5 years which is considered VERY long. Sometimes crap gets caught in them, but thats the only real annoying part, besides not being able to eat candy. Good luck!
hope i helped
