  • I think it's a great idea. If I ever get pregnant again I will definitely use it. It's so important during pregnancy to eat healthy and sometimes it helps to see what you've eaten so you know what to improve and to make sure you are getting the important nutrients for pregnancy. With my last baby I didn't know about this…

  • I also like recipezaar.com. It's not specifically a healthy recipe website but they have healthy recipes on there. I just do searches using the words "low fat" or "light". Cookinglight.com is another good one.

  • I think that rice milk tastes the closes to "real" milk. Whole Foods store brand, 365, makes an awesome unsweetened rice milk that is super low cal and low carb. Rice Dream tastes ok but compared to whole foods brand nutritionally it's not as good. Both are in the database here.

  • I react badly to sucralose and aspartame. Aspartame=headaches suralose=repiratory difficulties and wheezing. Artificial sweeteners aren't healthy anyways. You should try stevia. It is 100% natural and 0 calories I believe.

  • I drink a ton of water. Usually 9-12 glasses a day. I haven't noticed a drop in milk supply when I drop my calories or anything. ebf stands for exclusively breastfed. She has had problems digesting food so that's why I have just now started her on solids. But she is mostly breastfeeding. Thanks!

  • Soak 1lb of beans( navy, great northern are my faves but you can do pinto or black also.) overnight or do a quick soak. Drain. Add 4-8 C fresh water. (depending on how thick or thin you like it. I like it thick so I start w/ 4 cups and if it gets too dry I just add more while cooking.) Add 2 bay leaves, 2 garlic cloves,…

  • This is so what I needed to hear!!! I've been so discouraged because I started working out and eating good consistently 2 weeks ago and have gained 2 pounds. I was so worried I wasn't taking in the right amount of calories or was doing something wrong. This makes sense. Thank you for posting! Seriously, you have no idea…
