If you already drink tonic, ask if they have diet, but even plain tonic is better than juices...they have more sugar than regular tonic. Some places have "skinny" cocktails, ask the…

I'm healthier, thinner, better looking(!), have more energy and happier than I was 7 months ago and I don't want that to go away. I can't see myself NOT logging a day.

  • I have to have ice cold water too! I fill a nalgene (32 ounces) half full of water and a crystal light then freeze it. I have about 4 so there is usually at least one in the freezer. Then I keep refilling and adding ice all day long. The flavor from the ice block makes the water more interesting but it isn't overpowering…

  • TMusumeche, my trainer said Crystal Light was ok to drink. I like to mix it in a Nalgene half full of water then freeze it solid (I usually have 2-3 nalgenes in my freezer at a time!) The ice lasts most of the day (especially if you keep adding more ice and water) and the taste is not overpowering like it can be if you use…

  • Like many others, I prefer my vegies raw. Wash well and buy organic if you can afford it or if it makes you feel better. I enjoy a slice of raw potatoe with salt occasionaly but if it is green under the skin, it needs to be cooked. Let's face it...birth is ultimately fatal. If you worry about every little thing you read…

  • LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Chipotle!!!!!!!!!!!!! I always do chicken bowl, no rice or beans (it's just toooo much food) mild salsa, cheese, guac and lettuce. I'd rather have the rice and bean calories in the green goodness that is their guac, plus...it's extra fiber and good fat.
