Frozen Dinners?
I feel like the easiest way to have lunch and/or dinner is to pop a frozen dinner in the microwave, but I'm wondering how healthy this really is. I always stick to the frozen meals that are less than 500 calories, but it seems like the fat, carbs, and sodium is usually really high. Any thoughts on this??

Artificial Sweeteners and You
There seem to be two schools of thought on this site - those who are willing to use chemical sweeteners to still have their sweet foods, but without the calories. Then there are those who would rather use real sugar or remove sugar entirely than use the artificial sweeteners, stating that artificial sweeteners have a host…
