"America's Food"
First I must explain I get a bit passionate sometimes so please keep in mind, it all comes from my heart. Once I started to eat all natural I realized why it is so hard to eat healthy.

How "bad" is going over your sodium?
I have a new easy favorite wrap, but it's so damn high in sodium. I have two of them a day, sometimes treat myself to a pickle, and then baked potato and salad for dinner. I just finished lunch and already I'm 674 mg over on sodium and I haven't even had dinner. Any ideas? I could cut out the tortilla, which amazingly has…

Did Pepsi do this?
Soda is my downfall. I have quit drinking regular pepsi and have been doing some of the diets successfully. Except like once a week when I feel stressed I let myself have a regular pepsi. (They are still in the fridge cause I don't have anyone to give them too or let drink lol.) So I am getting a migraine, is this from my…

Activia to the rescue - not the way you think
I have recently taken a liking to this yogurt. It is currently saving me from diving head-first into the bowl of M&Ms that is out for my son's birthday BBQ that we are hosting. I am going to sit up here and eat my yogurt until the stoopid M&Ms quit calling my name...

Sugar
Is the Sugar allowance pretty accurate here? I have an allowance of 24 grams a day. One apple is 20 so that pretty much eats mine up and I'm generally over my goal. Should I cut the apple? Or is that considered good sugar? or is the allowance too low?

Luckily, my snacks are almost always veggies/fruits, but even an extra 100-200 calories/day adds up. I've tried to turn to physical activities that shift…
