I very rarely have milk but, it would be 1 or 2%...I take vitamin D supplements. I like Smart Banlance milk with the DHA omega 3's. I very rarely eat butter, but it would be the real thing...margarine is one molecule off of plastic. This is true, learned it from a dietician! I try to bake or use non stick spray...but if I…

I NEVER eat low fat or no fat items....I saw on Dr. Oz when they take the fat out they replace it with carbs and sugar!! Our bodies need fat, especially the good fat like EVOO and Avocado. I want to enjoy what I eat or what is the point??I…

I have a Polar F 6 with a chest strap...The chest strap is very important...also this unit does not cross talk with others in the gym. I have not tried it at Zumba, but today on the treadmill, I burned 626 calories. I have never had a workout yet under 500 and that is anywhere from 40-60 mins!
