needing some help here re: heart healthy / low sodium
My husband recently had a triple bypass. They sent him home without diet restrictions, saying "just eat, you need to heal." A month later we've been back to the hospital twice with post-surgical complications, and he's now on diuretics. We've gotten all kinds of mixed advice by our medical professionals, from "just do what…

New products that caught your eyes recently?
I'm having the new Chobani Flip hazelnut as we speak. Totally yum and worth the 250 calories (if you're like me and love hazelnut anything), although it will definitely be a 'once in a while' thing. Also got the limited edition Cinnamon Bun Yoplait Greek and the new Simply Chobani double chocolate chunk yogurts waiting in…

What's going on with the new User Interface?
The new user interface for food entry is impossible to use. I've tried to add a food not on the list and it simply goes to a blank page. It's bad enough the foods do not list properly, but not being able to add additional foods makes it quite useless. I hope this is some sort of interim user interface and that myfitnesspal…

For the love of Produce...
I’ve been a produce *kitten* for years and years. My ‘Apple thing’ is notorious among friends and family. That’s the one enduring phase (current obsessions are Koru, Pacific Rose, and HoneyBee apples)- in addition to my squash fixation (kabocha, mostly, but a well roasted spaghetti squash also makes me swoon.) I love…

Improvements in mental health since reducing sodium intake?
I’ve been feeling sluggish for YEARS and I’m sure it’s because of my pickle addiction. I can literally eat a small jar of Mt. Olive pickle spears in 1 day and I’ll go out the next day and buy another. I’m embarrased to admit it. I’ll also eat high sodium foods like processed meats pizzas and subs. I want to feel better but…

Advice please on trying new foods
For years I have always had difficulty trying new foods due to textures. It has been to the point of fearfulness. Years later it makes sense after a diagnosis of autism that it is part of it for me. I am now trying to lose weight due to prediabetes. I am going low carb and sugar. I need to eat leafy greens and more…
