Ohh evil SODIUM
My nutritionist has been telling me for months to lessen my sodium intake. OK, so I stopped adding salt to my food and avoided foods I just thought were salty like... chips, soups, frozen dinners. That was not enough, even though I thought I was trying, I was still eating 2500 to 3000 mg a day. As someone with kidney…

The great bread switch of 2010
When I first started in 2009, I discovered sandwich thins. I started eating them for everything. Sandwiches, burgers, even pizza crust at one point. I had them for breakfast with my peanut butter. I had them with my sandwich for lunch. If I could sleep with them, I would have. Yesterday as I was browsing the bread aisle,…

weighing at 4:30 vs. weighing at 6:00
Hi, I have been getting up at 4:30 to workout. I weigh myself and am sadly disappointed. My weight is up. I go for a walk or run- one hour and 15 minutes and I am back in the house at 6:00. I usually have to go to the bathroom and then I weigh again. Now I am down a pound and a half. Which weight is more realistic? The one…

Wake me up without the caffine, or maybe caffine?
Hey, I am a coffee-holic when it comes to me waking up before the butt crack of dawn. but i have learned that coffee is a bittersweet thing. it will wake me up but then i will crash hard, and i dont wanna put more coffee in my body or ill be jittery and my heart will beat hard which will de-motivate me to exercise. So my…

Why can't I do it?
In my mind, changing a lifestyle is much harder than dieting. I don't diet. To me, diets are short term for those that just want to lose a few pounds or don't have an eating problem. Although when I think about the word DIET, I think of this... D - Determination; I - Inspiration; E - Exercise; T - Teamwork I'm trying to…

Red Bull
Just an FYI...I had to take my boyfriend to the ER the other night because he had heart palpitations. He drank coffee and red bull ( stupid on his part). I know sometimes we need energy to work out, but I would suggest red bull! He is ok now..they got his heart rate down, but it was scary.

Fat rant
I was looking up info on fat as a macro nutrient and came accross this video. There are things that I don't agree in it, namely the notions that losing weight is futile and that obesity doesn't affect your quality of life at all. Quality of life problems might not show yet when you're young but I for one have always had…
