Alcohol
I wish alcohol had nutrition info on the side! It makes it so hard to track. On Friday's, everyone at work usually goes out for a drink and I am not sure what is reasonable cause nothing has nutrition info and it is super hard to find any online as well. So, I guess my question is, is alcohol off the table, or is it okay…

Wish Food Labels Weren't So Scammy!
"Only 100 calories!" the label exclaims in a giant bright star. "Wow!" I think. I have finally found it, a healthy food with minimal calories! I eat a whole box and am surprised to find I feel bloated. Hmm. Did I read the label wrong? I go to investigate, and lo and behold, it is in fact a 100 calories....but there are 25…

Is noninvasive laser lipo effective?
I found the following deal and spoke to the doctor about the following, but I am concerned maybe this is a gimmick. It is very expensive and I was hoping some of you might have information on whether or not I should give it a try.

Frozen meals are better than nothing....right?
Hello! I have a very busy lifestyle and usually buy frozen "health" meals for lunch at work, instead of going out to eat. I try to get the healthiest ones I can. Max I eat one for breakfast and lunch and then have a home made dinner. Right now, preparing and bringing food is not an option for me. It may be in the future.…

Multivitamins? Yes or No
Hello! I take a one a day multivitamin with 100% or more of everything (including iron) 5 days a week. I also take a fish oil and a yogurt culture pill (acidophilus).

Glasses fog and fall off and I am so clumsy. I get migraines, however, and am worried about the effect lasik would have on that. Any tips? Advice? Thank you all

Rest days?
How often should I have rest days? I was doing 5 days gym and cardio on weekdays back to back, then the weekend off and cardio if I feel like it. Is this a good approach? I have been getting burnt out by Wednesday and wanting to skip, but so far have pushed through this. Should I try a different approach? Thank you all
