  • Eat what you want to lose weight, just make sure your calorie intake is at a deficit. Protein itself does not build muscle. You need protein, proper caloric intake and heavy lifting to build muscle. You do not want to cut back on protein because it keeps you feeling full for longer and provides a lot of nutrients you need.…

I started when I got pregnant however have continued because I love the look of my hair and nails. Generally for vitamins, if your diet is properly balanced you don't need them. I…

  • Try making your own, that's what we do. Roast chicken breast or turkey breast. Cool then thinly slice. Of course it won't last as long as packaged deli meats you buy but it is much much less in sodium then the store bought deli meats.
