removing Sodium excess
I was excited to try my new frozen vegetables for lunch today, because I usually just have a salad, but wanted something I could heat up with winter approaching.

movies. help!
okay going to the movies tonight, what is the best choice (I know, as if there is even one) as far as snacks. My first thought was to sneak a 100 calorie bag of something in my purse, but does any one have any better ideas that won't make me want to reach into my bf's popcorn tub? thanks!

deal with fats
okay i know that it's not good to consume a lot of fat, and that trans fats are bad. But does anyone know the difference between poly and mono saturated? Is one better than the other? should I be getting a certain amount of either daily? confused...

foods or supplements to help complexion?
okay so I've been trying to eat healthy and exercise and my body is looking better. But with the summer heat and sometimes intense workouts, I'm breaking out like crazy. Ive been told it can sometimes be hormonal, and that sometimes it can be triggered by the foods we eat. Any light on the matter?

Thighs bloated after leg workout??
I took a "ripped" class last night which included lots of squats, deadlifts, and lunges. It felt great last night, my legs even felt stronger and leaner. This morning my legs feels like balloons! primarily my thighs in the front and back. even the cellulite that I thought was improving looked more pronounced :( Is there…
