While it’s currently hard to get a hold of it, both due to its almost $600 price-tag and copies being snapped up, we are at least getting information about the deleted and bonus scenes that are included in the collection. We’ve already put together a list of all the exciting content in the box set, but one scene is particularly notable for fans of the Hulk, in that it shows the character breaking out of the Hulkbuster armor in Avengers: Infinity War .

The average American dieter makes 4-6 dieting attempts per year. Clearly, that means the first…and second…and the third attempt wasn’t successful. It’s a vicious circle of demotivation that leaves many feeling like they cannot succeed without superhuman tenacity. Maybe you are ready to throw in the (oversized) towel on dieting for good. Don’t be. Take a minute to look at the four reasons why most diets fail, and then find a diet plan that bypasses these pitfalls. Soon you will find yourself on track to optimal success. Let’s look at the four key factors. Unrealistic Calorie Intakes The “starvation mode” method only sets you up to fail. By consuming so little food, your body literally starts shutting down to conserve fuel. When this happens, you are on a one-way path to a fat loss plateau. Yes, you should lower calorie intake to see fat loss results, but you need to do it in a way that maintains your “metabolic engine”. Lack Of Satiety-Boosting Nutrients Another big...
