Best Advice!!
Hey MFPers, My mom told me to always splurge on a fruit I am craving, even if it's more expensive :) I will sometimes buy pre-cut fresh fruit salads because it motivates me to eat it & enjoy.

Emotional Eating.
Hey everyone!! How do you guys kick emotional eating? My pattern is usually that I'm good most of the day, sometimes I get killer cravings in the mid-afternoon slump (3 or 4pm) but coconut water usually gets me through that.

Importance of Egg Yolks
Hey Everyone! I find so many people toss out the egg yolks in fear of the cholestrol content. To me, the benefits outweigh the costs. The yolk also contains choline which is found in fairly high abundance in the egg. It is linked to brain function and helps ward off related diseases. Personally, I will take that over the…
