Dannon Dilemma -- Good News or Bad?! TELL US NOW!!
Last week we broke the news about Dannon adding 20 calories to their 6-oz. Light & Fit yogurt cups. We said it was a GOOD thing because we thought Dannon's 60-calorie yogurt was, um, not impressive at all, and we think the new flavor and texture are really an improvement. But apparently, many of you disagree. We've been…

To eat or not to eat? That is the question...
So, I keep reading that it is better for the metabolism to eat 5-6 small meals a day instead of three big ones. I take that to mean 200-300 calories per shot (or more depending on the exercising I've done that day). Here is my question. I get up at 3 am for work every morning, but usually don't eat until 5 or so, then…

5500 Vacation Calories!!!!
I went on vacation to see my family, and over the course of 4 days I went over my calories... a total of 5500 calories over to be exact! I obviously feel guilty for stumbling off track so badly...
