  • Great advice on this thread. I have the same problem. What works for me is a combo of what others have said: late dinner, earlier bedtime, read in bed instead of watch TV on couch, wash dinner dishes by hand (hands in the water = can't eat!), go for a walk after dinner, drink a 16oz glass of water if I feel hungry, and if…

  • My naturopathic dr told me that herbal (decaffeinated) tea counts towards my water for the day. If you think herbal teas smell better than they taste, or simply don't taste at all, then try Tazo -- they make some incredibly yummy caffeine-free flavors - the Wild Sweet Orange is my favorite, and next is the Passion. I do…

  • This sounds much more reasonable to me. I've already had breakfast & lunch today, totaling 772mg of sodium, so 2500 for the day feels absurd. But 1500 sounds about right. Thanks!

  • Mine is only 19m but I give him "real" meals at about 6,11 and 4. Between meals, I leave snacks on a table in his playroom, so he can walk over and get something any time he feels hungry. Usually it's fruits, cereals (cheerios, Kix, chex, etc - not the sugar-encrusted marshmallow nugget ones), or cheese (he doesn't do so…
