I drink Perrier sparkling water - or San Pellegrino mineral water with a tsp or two of lemon juice in it, a bit of liquid stevia, and I then put 1/8 tsp of lite salt which supplies over 300mg of potassium. It really tastes refreshing and helps to get more potassium. I drink 2-3 of these a day.

I have tried several gluten free mixes - for cake, banana bread etc. All have turned out great, so I don't have a favorite brand. Just look in the gluten free section of your grocery store and whatever they have will probably work fine.

Since most of the foods in the database are member submitted, I find that most of the food brands that I eat, even if I think they won't be there, actually are there. I've had to enter very few of my own foods.

THIS. It's also called calorie zigzagging, which helps to increase your metabolism.

I have had chronic back pain for a number of years. What really helped for me to strengthen both my back and core (as well as the rest of my body) was pilates.
