For salt, like others said, minimize your intake of processed foods. Some foods are harder to avoid unless you have a lot of time to make it yourself (like pasta), but other things like cooking dried beans take a little planning but little work to actually make. Even "low sodium" processed foods still have a lot of sodium…

I did not know that. I will have to bring an empty water bottle next time. There was one time when I had fresh produce from my mother-in-law's garden, and I ended up getting stopped by security. They didn't make me throw it away, but it was annoying. Thanks for the tip!

While the book isn't on fast food really, I just read Salt, Sugar, Fat, and it was amazing! The author just presents a bunch of research about why we likes those things and why they are in processed foods to the degree they are. He doesn't necessarily argue that we should never eat these things or even say what our eating…

When I want a treat, I ask myself some of these questions I am actually hungry or does eating a treat just sound nice? Am I actually thirsty, not hungry? Do I really need to eat this? Will eating this help me to feel more full or satisfied? How has the rest of my day been (exercise/food wise)? Sometimes I will indulge a…

My husband and I just eat leftovers for lunch. I usually have a smaller portion at lunch than I do at dinner just because I am usually not as hungry at lunch. If you're not too keen on leftovers, neither was my husband initially. I just encouraged him to think about how it tasted as opposed to how it looked. He said that…

If I am in the mood for something chocolaty, I'll put a piece of chocolate in my mouth and let it melt. Usually by the time it's melted, I'm satisfied. Otherwise, I'll eat fruit mostly.

I am not in that category, but I did Weight Watchers 5 years ago and I remember there being a lot of women who had lost 60 to 100 pounds that went to the meetings. It really is inspiring! I lost 25 pounds when I did it then and gained 10 back over the course of 3 years, which I am working on losing again. One thing that…

It sounds like you need to talk with a physician and a counselor or nutritionist about your eating habits and weight. You weigh 92 pounds so you should be trying to gain weight, not lose it. For your height, you should weigh at least 98 pounds. (I am not a MD and this number was based off a BMI calculator). There are…

Nothing has toned my arms like pole dancing has. If you live in a more populated area, there are bound to be classes around you. If you are in a more rural area, then there may not be. When I first started, I could barely lift myself off the ground, and it took me a few months to be able to climb 14 feet. It really is a…

That same documentary convinced my brother and his girlfriend to go vegan so my mom and I watched it. While I enjoyed the movie and I agree with some of the points of it (ex: we eat way more protein than we need or is probably even healthy for us), I must say the research methodology is horrible. They have no control…
