Ammonia Sweat, Not low carbing
Hi! The past three months, I've noticed after my runs, My sweat is getting to be more and more strongly scented of ammonia! I eat a 40/30/30 c/p/f ration right now.

Hello! I'm wondering how my fellow MFPers are handling the rising cost of fresh produce. I try very hard to have fresh produce over canned types with the added salt, sugars, and preservatives, but, my god, produce is expensive! Fresh meats, fish, and dairy are getting ridiculous too.
