Sugar in the body
Ok, any nutritionists out there~ I have been told that sugar feeds arthritis. So if you drastically cut back on sugar, other than what is 'naturally' found in foods (like prepared sauces, juices, fruit, crackers, etc) how long does it take your body to realize you arent' eating the cookies, cakes, pies........? I am trying…

Agave Nectar vs. Sugar
Hi Everyone, I was looking through some recipes for healthy eating and one of the ingredients I saw over and over was Agave Nectar. I bought some today, both light and amber. My thought was that this would be a great replacement for sugar, especially since I love to bake. Today reading the label, I noticed it has 60…

sparkling water
I am not trying to provoke a fight, I find myself curious about something. The other day I was reading a post here about someone wanting to give up diet pop. Many, many responses were "drink sparkling water" Am I wrong in my thinking, isn't sparkling water, glorified pop?

water water everywhere
I am really struggling to drink water, just plain old water. I was a caffeine free diet coke fanatic....but I have limited it down from way too many a day.....to maybe one a week.

NSV......or was it?
So the very vain person in me has been anxiously awaiting the first person who doesn't know I am trying to lose weight, to say something. Today was that moment. I was visiting a friend who is in a nursing home. She has Alzheimer's. Anyhow.....She said...."you've lost weight. I can see it in your face. I am glad you are…

At the end of the day......five weeks from now ??

exercise verses calories
hi....new to this site. My exercise bike and my tread mill have a calorie counter built into them. When I log my exercise into my account here......the calories are very different than what my equipment says. Thoughts on this?
