Diabetic desserts with stevia or not?
For Easter I am having my mother in law over who is diabetic. She has been having a really hard time controlling her blood sugars lately and unfortunately, her family is not very supportive when it comes to food.

FUTURE INVENTIONS
So I keep thinking wouldn't it be great to have an app where you can scan your food and it will give you the exact calories and nutritional composition without a barcode, measuring or looking it up? I'm banking on this in twenty years! Think how easy it would be to track calories! That being said, what is something you…

I have lost 34 pounds so far, but I'm now losing weight super slowly (1 pound every three weeks) as I am 14 pounds away from my goal weight.

Breastfeeding and not losing weight at 1700 cals
I'm exclusively breastfeeding (my baby is 1 month old) and at 1700 calories a day. I'm 5'3" but I have been stuck at the same weight for a week now. I know this seems premature, but I was losing weight every few days before this at 1800 calories. What am I doing wrong?
