What were your…

Tofu the unhealthy alternative?
So I was discussing with my friend the benefit of a clean diet or a Daniel Fast (veggie, beans, and fruit only) type of diet when she stated that tofu was a great option... Then I was explaining how I wanted to eat clean and I thought tofu was over processed... It's not simply a bean that's cooked or smashed up and cooked…

Almond Breeze Unsweetened Chocolate....
I just wanted to say that I love and am thankful for this product. It's awesome to mix with my protien powder and to have as a 40 calorie treat at night. I like to add a touch of stevia as it is unsweetened (at least it warns you in the title) Have you tried it? If so what did you like or dislike about it?

Caffeine addiction…
I recently started a ‘Daniel Fast’ as a part of this fast the only beverage consumed is water… At the beginning of the fast I thought that this would be the easiest part for me… I am now made shockingly aware of how addicted and dependent upon caffeine I am.

A dirty clean diet?
I've been thinking about nixing the processed junk out of my diet... fiber one bars, granola bars, protein powders, sweeteners, refined sugars, refined flour, fruited yogurts, preservatives, additives, and any other unpronounceable toxic garbage that I feel may be hindering my weight loss and healthy living... I want to…

29lbs two sizes down!
I had a small NSV this weekend! I purchased a new pair of jeans that are a juniors size 22! When I started 4 months ago I was in a size 26W and they were to tight!

Food Bullies
It’s seem like since I’ve started changing the way I look at food I see food bullies everywhere. From my home and family who feel as though the more calories the better to my work environment. I’m often pressured to eat this or just take a bite of that. I usually resist and hold my ground with a firm no thanks. I work at a…
