Good to see you again old friend.

Hard pass.

It's my belief that unless one is measured to be insufficient in vitamin or mineral intake that a diet with a variety of foods often meets micronutrient needs.

I drink Premier Protein shakes for breakfast 5 days/week. This one is definitely on the rotation. It's a tad sweet for me but not so much that I don't enjoy them.

Nope, can't do it.

Doubtful. Anyone else in their late 40s who lost their spouse unexpectedly earlier this year and trying to find any way forward? Sorry to be debbie downer, but I need friends that don't exist. Guess I'll go hiking. It's all that seems to keep me sane.

I certainly support the recommendations noted so far. But I also like to add, not all carbs are created equally.

Acknowledge you did it. Ask yourself why? If you can understand the behavior that led you to the binge, try to learn from it. If not, you've still asked. And most of all, move on and don't beat yourself up. Be kind to yourself!

Here are my mules. Emmy, on the left, is a 5 year old boxer-mutt. Rolo, on the right, turned 14 months this week and is a boxer/redbone coon hound mix.
