Awesome Chicken Dish I made up!
Well for starters I absolutely LOVE pineapple, so if you share that love with me, then you'll love this simple, easy and fast chicken dish! I came home from the gym and I needed something fast.

Favorite"Healthier" Fast Food???
My post on Taco Bell had me thinking it might be useful for all of us to post our favorite Fast Food Meals that are friendly to our "new lifestyle" (I refuse to call it a diet! LOL).

Too much protein?
I have begun the Body for Life program and it recommends protein shakes, bars, etc and eating 5 meals a day. I have actually lost weight - 2 pounds in two weeks! But when I enter my diet into the food tab, my proteins are way higher in comparison to my balance of carbs and fats. Is too much protein bad?

Foods to Beware!
