I love pork. It's probably the meat I cook most often. Pork loin (or tenderloin) is much lower in fat than other cuts (such as a shoulder roast, or bacon). But I eat the fattier cuts too--all things in moderation! I personally think that free-range pork has much better flavor, although it costs a little more. And as far as…

I was also not one of those lucky ones to lose weight while nursing. My 17-month-old stopped nursing about 3 1/2 months ago, and I've lost about 12 lbs since then. I think some people's bodies just hold onto fat while we're nursing, and it takes a little while to readjust. And going back to eating like a 'normal' person is…
