A friend recently told me about REAL salt. That is the brand name. It is mined from an ancient sea and is now found underground in Utah. It reportedly has tons of health benefits because it is a natural sea salt and has lots of minerals. It is supposed to help with blood pressure among other things. I just found it at a…

Everybody is different. What works for one person may not work for another. I personally think it is fine to go over every once in awhile. I am on a lifestyle change, not a strict "diet". If you do decide to go over your calorie count, just make sure it is with healthier food options...not junk! :)

That is wonderful! How fun! Enjoy the complements and keep up the good work!

You asked for some ideas for breakfast. Try some eggs or maybe a low sugar peanut butter. Something with protein. I think you will be amazed at how much better you will feel. I was never a huge fan of eggs, but I have been making an omelet almost every morning. I add lots of onion, green peppers, maybe some cheese or ham.…

My husband and I have been involved with Scouts for years. PTA for me, as well. Being involved in your kids lives is so important and you are doing a great thing. You do, however, need to make time for yourself a priority. A healthy Mom is just as important as what you do for the kids. I have been there, and wish that I…

I would suggest that you start tracking your sugar and sodium intake, as well. Go into settings and change your diary settings so that sugar and sodium will show up. Also, less fast food and processed food and lots more vegetables and make sure you drink lots of water. You are doing good. Just try to make some healthier…

Drink lots of water and take a probiotic. You can get them over the counter in the vitamin section. They are the good bacteria for your gut like what is in yogurt. Eating yogurt, preferably plain with no sugar will also help. Apples are good, too. Prunes. Plum Smart juice. The probiotics are the best solution. It will help…

The RDA for vitamins is very minimal. Many vitamins such as Vitamin C are safe to consume in large quantities and many should be higher amounts for optimum nutrition. Do some research and find out what is best for you.

You can do this. It won't happen overnight, and yes it is easy to get off track. Don't deny yourself anything. As you said, it just makes you want it more. I agree with some of the other suggestions. Try to eat healthier carbs, like brown rice instead of white. Whole grains. Have smaller portions. Try to balance your…

Lately, when I want chips and salsa, I've been eating the salsa with crisp green apple wedges. It is really good. You could eat a chip for every other apple slice if you must have chips. That way you don't eat as many tortilla chips and you get a serving of fruit in.

Put it in the filling for chicken enchiladas; spinach and ricotta manicotti; you can even put it in soups.

After reading your bio, I'm sorry you have had to go through so many health issues. If you want to get healthy and stay that way for your young children you really need to avoid the fast food. If you plan ahead and pack a lunch you will be much better off. Try to include more fruits and vegetables with every meal and drink…

I noticed that you are not tracking your sugar or your fat. I would suggest eating a little "cleaner". No artificial sweeteners, less bread and sugar, and replace butter with olive oil. Eat more vegetables and fruit. Just eating healthier, basically. You can do this! We are all trying to be healthier for a long life so…
