    Are artificial sweeteners really that bad for you, assuming moderation? I know some make me gassy, but hear from everyone and their mothers how terrible they are, and I haven't found much to support that other than "they might make you hungrier/crave more".

    I see that there are a few questions already about eating enough proteins without blowing up carbs and fat - I have that same issue. I have also been working out alot - eating clean foods just less than 2000 cals per day but weight loss is minimal. I am now looking closer at macros. How important is that in conjunction with watching calorie intake?

    I have been eating at a deficit for awhile now. I have successfully lost 140lbs! While not yet to my goal weight (15 lbs to go), about 6 weeks ago I added 50 calories per day with the goal to slowly increase my intake while maintaining my weight or even continuing to lose. But what I've found is that I'm just maintaining. Have I not given it long enough? Is there another way for me to do this? I am a 42 year old woman with PCOS.

    I’m in perimenopause and feel I eat fairly healthy, but I constantly feel like I’m bloated, especially in the morning. Wondering if adding a probiotic to my daily routine would help with this and if so what kind?

    Should I be concerned about low triglycerides? My normal values are around 40. Due to dry eye, it's been recommended that I take fish oil supplements. However, when I do, my triglycerides drop closer to 30 (which flags as too low on my blood work). My total cholesterol, HDL, glucose, etc are all in healthy ranges. I'm 57 and at a normal BMI. I'm a pescatarian, but I eat vegetarian 19-20 meals weekly.

    Hi, what are the benefits of intermittent fasting to eating breakfast or vice versa. Does eating breakfast kick start your metabolism? Is it better to eat every 2 or so hours as opposed to 3 meals a day…. I’m not looking at loosing weight but maintaining it…. Struggling with getting rid of lower belly fat though.

    I have been on a weight loss journey for 10 months and have lost 63 lbs. For the last month, I've fallen down and have been having unbelievable sweet cravings. Can you tell me how to get off this Rollercoaster and get back on track? I still have about 25-30 lbs to lose. Thanks!

    I have GERD. Some of my triggers are fatty foods and meat, even lean meat. My doctor has also told me losing weight would help. I’ve worked with a dietician, who advised me to increase my protein but suggestions were lean meats and nuts. I could really use some suggestions for proteins that aren’t meat based or high in fat.

    I’ve recently been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease. I’m still trying to figure out what causes my excess gas in my tummy plus foods that trigger inflammation as well. What are some foods I need to stay away from so these things don’t come to bay? I know onions, broccoli, cauliflower, oats are some that I can’t eat. Any advice?
