Honeymoon nutrition advice!
I am going on a resort honeymoon the end of June. It is causing me anxiety because I know there probably won't be a ton of healthy options. I plan on enjoying myself but I don't want to cause a week of damage to my progress. It's not even about gaining weight(well, only in part). It is also not wanting to feel like crap…

Bacon (to eat or not to eat)
Does a little bacon hurt your diet?I don't eat it often, maybe 1-2 times per week. I refuse to eat turkey bacon. I can eat less bacon. I cook it in the oven vs stove top so that the grease falls off more. I've heard a lot of people say that they stay away from pork because pigs are dirty lol and for religious reasons. I…

Water Softener Sodium Content
We have well water, and so we add solar salt, a water softener that removes calcium and magnesium deposits. I have read extensively about the amount of sodium left behind in the water (it is safe by RDA standards), but I am concerned that since my daily intake of water has increased, so have my sodium levels. Would it be…

Lost interest in foo
Anyone else experience this? It's like a switch got turned off and I hardly ever have cravings anymore or find it difficult to resist "goodies" that others may be eating. Strange, but somehow food has become much more a "eat to live" than "live to eat" kind of thing. I can even be around others who are having fattening…

Yes, I know I can search the forums and find answers eventually but I'll be honest, I'd rather be doing something active than scrolling through page after page of info, so I'm posting a question I am sure has been asked 1000 times. I’m embarking on a type of Paleo/Primal eating plan. This is for digestive reasons not just…

Agree to disagree! Can we find common ground?
So no one will agree on what the ideal diet is. I think we all get that by now. Hell, Vegans don't even agree with other vegans from what I've seen. I don't think many of you will disagree (but I'm sure some of you will find a way) with the following : - pretty much ALL processed foods are less than ideal for optimal…

Too much protein - what!!??
I'm puzzled that even on a really healthy-eating day (porridge for BF, green soup for lunch, fish & veg for supper + fruit and yogurt) I'm way over my daily protein allowance. I'm on 1200 calories a day, 48 of protein. Is this right?
