Vigorous daily exercise (especially outdoors) really helps me.

Two suggestions:1. Weigh and log ALL your food using a digital scale to determine accurate portions. I was amazed at how much I was underestimating my portion sizes. Little nibbles of this and that ( 1/2 a cookie, a small handful of granola) really add up. 2. Double check the calorie content of the foods you are…

To prevent constipation you need three things: insoluble fiber, water and exercise. Look into fruits with strings and pulp-- pomelo or grapefruit, whole oranges, ripe papaya, pineapple, apples with peel, etc. Fiberous vegetables like green beans, pinto or black beans, etc are excellent. Drink at least 2 liters of water/day…

Looking at your food diary, it appears the reason you are going over your sugars is that many days you are eating a proportionally small amount of natural, whole foods. If, for example, you were to exchange some of the sweet drinks and candies you eat for raw or steamed vegetables like green beans, cucumbers or a tossed…

Alcohol is metabolized like a fat...it sure won't help you build muscle...just a gut.

Eat beans and lentils! Very inexpensive, high in fiber, and good protein too.

Easiest and fastest I can think of: Peanut Butter on whole wheat bread-- if you are really in a hurry make it the night before....portable, inexpensive, healthy and keeps you full. Or,if you can get the sugary cereal, why not buy some non-sugary cereal like bite size shredded wheat or wheatabix or cheerios, or raisin…

Weigh it using a digital kitchen scale...I was surprised to find the slice of bread I thought was a pretty standard 1 oz was actually about 1 and 1/2 times more-- and that can add up over time!
