is low fat dieting that good for you...
for some reason, a lot of my friends go into this craze about "low fat dieting" = "lose weight and be healthier." but is that really the case? because weight gain is due to CALORIES, not fat...right? I mean, everyone needs certain fats, like omega 3's, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, etc...stuff you get from nuts,…

Did anyone get constipated when you started eating less?
I know this might sound like a gross subject but just wondering if your regularity changed? I was always very regular,like clock work and now I am not. My intake of food is a lot less and I think because of that I might need to add more fiber to it.. My water intake is fine. I don't feel bloated..just feel off not being…

Green supplement vs. Shakeology?
So I know I need to eat more veggies and that would take care of this entire question. But being realistic, right now, it isn't going to happen for me. So I'm debating on whether or not to get a greens (veggies and fruit) supplement from GNC or a vitamin shop or something or try Shakeology. Which of the 2 evils do you…

PSA: Subway's nutritional info is underestimated
I have heard from a guy who owns a couple of Subway's that the nutritional information for subway is based on the corporation's idea of serving sizes. The employees working there go WAY over it. For example, they are supposed to put only 3 pickles on a six inch sub when you request it. Employees routinely just grab a…

Vitamin D - Lights
I wasn't sure which forum to post this in but I guess vitamin deficiencies would be considered a nutrition topic. I've recently heard of vitamin d lamps which emit a light that mimics sunlight and provides you with enough vitamin d. i know that lots of people experience vitamin d deficiencies in the winter which can often…

Jif Hazelnut Spread vs Nutella

My problem is that I'm running out of ideas for healthy snacks. Fruits and veggies are a no brainer, and I do eat plenty of them,…

Eatting when Sick
Hi. Lately, for the past 3-4 days, I've had bad stomach pain that disabled me from eating. Literally, before I eat, whenever I felt hungry, I feel stomach pain. After I ate, I felt pain too for a moment but food somehow created some sort of buffer in the stomach and so the pain was reduced. After food got digested, pain…
