Like your post. :-) :-) :-)

I agree. You look great

Here is the one Ive seen. http://dailyvegetarianrecipes.wordpress.com/2010/06/16/new-food-pyramid/

It seems like you do great. :-O If you're concerned about getting enough then look up the new vegetarian food pyramid. Im not a vegetarian. But I wish I could follow that recommended diet. They say to follow it and make sure you get enough iron and b vitamins.

I cut out caffeine and cut back on animal products and that helped me out. Also raw beets are very good for digestion.

So much to read so little time. hehehe. Foods that target the colon are Tamarindo, (at Winco) You can make a tea with it or eat it plain. And Pinapple. Then there are other things that are extremely good for digestion like mint tea and papaya or ....papaya enzyme if you dont want to eat the fruit.

I dont purchase the remedy. I make it. Its one cup of each ingredient,, cooked for 30 minutes and put in a glass jar kept refrigerated. (garlic, ginger, apple cider vinegar, lemon and honey) I take a table spoon a day of the mixture because it has MANY health benefits. I noticed a significant boost of energy after just a…

I relate to this. My oldest is 10 and obviously when he was young I wasnt eating how I do now. So he is a sugar addict. (Same here btw) Its tough. My two daughters both eat very healthy. But I have to continue searching for new meal recipes for all of us. Because my son and fiance are very stubborn. Thats part of the…

Also, YES it was the 90's when everybody emphasized fat gram intake. hahaha

Yes I agree. And Im not criticizing anybody either. Im just sharing how I am TRYING to be. Key work TRYING. And hoping to meet people with a similar train of thought. Im not saying Im healthier than anybody. If you read the entire post I clearly state my worries. I mean Im in a prehypertention state and have been for over…

Fruits and veggies were the first "fast food." And Id prefer to eat a banana these days rather than a big mac. :-) Id also prefer to give a fruit to my babies rather than a breakfast burrito. Thats where IM at. I try to eat healthy every day.Because even if i try most likely i wont succeed. I dont beat my self up when I do…

well Im new around here so I wasnt sure WHERE to post this. But Im thankful that I was able to find a few new friends.

My doctor says im healthy.But my bp for about 5 years now has been at a prehypertention level. I cut coffee out for that reason . Before doing so i drank it black. But i drank about 2-3 cups a day. I was told one cup of black tea daily for 6 months has proven to lower blood pressure. Thanks for your input.

Also, what is considered to be "short term?"

Well.. How confusing. I read every where that snacking through out the day is beneficial to our health because it keeps the metabolism working. And Ive been doing this for years. :-O Yikes.

I made my post with the intent to find people who care about their health and well being. But so many others sort of twisted this and emphasized on weight or "looking good." Im on the hunt for people that think about more than jean or dress size. I prefer to befriend people that also care about sodium, iron or sugar levels…

Im not judging anybody. Im just saying I want people on my profile that have similar goals. Putting health first. Id be interested in knowing how exactly fasting is healthy for our bodies. Becuause dont we need a certain amount of vitamins daily? I mean .. if somebody is keeping an eye on their iron level or a diabetic…

Well Im NO pro at all. Im always learning new things related to nutrition, vitamins etc. But I have been spending most of my life trying to be healthy. Like i said in my first post i was so wrong when i was young. Thinking that being skinny was good enough. Its not. I mean when i was young i could run on the treadmill…

Also, Im at the point now that i try my best to keep junk food out of my diet and away from my family as well. Im slowly learning more about processed and packaged foods and it really scares me. :-( Even in moderation it scares me.

Thats what Im talking about. Weight should NOT be the goal. :-)

Everything in moderation right??? I just feel like health should be put first.

Thats interesting. Ill have to try to search for that post.

I agree with " svcat" I think alot of it has to do with the guys motives.

If you like a guy and he likes you then nobody is talking about money at all or who will pay for what. It just happens. Whether you pay sometimes or not they may be paranoid that you are materialistic or money hungry. There are so many cute girls that think just because theyre cute men should cater to their every need. But…

Im a thirty six year old mother of three. My youngest is almost three. My heaviest was 217 and Im at 149 now. For quite a while i ran on the treadmill then i added in a light weight fulll body toning video. But when I really started to see good results was when I purchased the 24 hour fitness membership (through costco)…

A nice guy. But he cant be a push over. He needs to have that Alpha Male quality and be able to stand up for him self or... for what he believes is right.
