Great alternative for Ice cream lovers!
I LOVE ICE CREAM! I must shout it to everyone! Fortunately, ice cream isn't exactly "healthy". I did come up with a good alternative that is...you'll never believe it...UNDER 200 cals! Just take chocolate graham crackers (low fat or reduced cal if you can find them) break them in half and make a "sandwich" with Lite Cool…

Medications that make you hungry, help!
I recently had a back injury in which my Dr. prescribed me steroids. Because of this I am STARVING all of the time! What are some things I can do/eat to help with this without throwing me off? I cannot really exercise yet because of the injury so I can't "earn" calories that way. Help!

Eat before or after workout?
I am in the habit of working out early in the morning (around 5 am) and wondered if it would be better to eat before I go or after? Same question for afternoon workouts. Usually the morning workout is swimming (or some other cardio) and the afternoon workouts are usually strength training. (FYI, I only go either in the…
