Diet Coke and Fluid Retention
I'm having fluid retention issues and I don't think my diet coke habit is helping but I've given up so much else! I've always had tendency to puffy ankles but it is getting worse. Even the diuretic the Dr. gave me doesn't help that much. She says to keep the sodium under 2000, which it is unless I eat out. The diet coke…

Peanut Butter! What's your favorite?
I *love* Jif Creamy Peanut Butter. Recently, someone on Reddit recommended Earth Balance Coconut & Peanut Spread as a healthier alternative. I bought a jar, and have to admit it IS tasty, if a bit on the soupy/oily side. (Which is probably why they call it "spread" and not "peanut butter.") However, the nutrition is about…

caloric deficits, surpluses, and building muscles
Hello all! I have read a lot on here where people are adamant that you cannot build muscle while on a calorie deficit - its scientifically impossible. I am curious, though, about timeframes. If you are consistently posting a deficit, then yes it makes sense you'd be in a position that is not conducive to muscle growth...…

How much does healthy eating help?
So we all know that a healthy diet is crucial to losing weight, but by how much? You hear a lot of terms like 'abs are made in the kitchen' and such, but I had always thought that losing weight was 50/50 diet and exercise, but people have told me that diet is the biggest factor. Any thoughts?

Protein and an upset stomach
Hi all, Back when I lost the majority of my weight my old personal trainer had me eating 100g protein and keeping an eye on my carbs. Back then I don't recall the diet making me particularly ill.

Clean Eating

Curious about your Sodium intake
Ever since my dad was put on a low-sodium diet, I've been vigilant about the high-sodium content of many foods. And now that I've been eating healthier, I am even more aware of the amount of sodium that I consume. So I was curious about everyone's daily sodium intake. I try to keep mine around 1500mgs. You?

Water, Water, and More.. Tea?
I'm a huge advocate of drinking water. Soda and energy drinks haven't had a place in my diet for years. Until a few months ago I drank water, various milks, and the occasional fruit/veggie juices. But when the colder months kicked in I added hot tea to my diet. I used to drink 2-3 liters of water a day. Now I drink at…
