Is decaf and diet soda as bad as they say?
I'm trying to cut some toxins from my diet so I have changed to decaf. I have the odd diet coke but a friend of mine was telling me that there are more toxins in diet soda and decaf than in the real thing. I'm a bit confused I didn't know this but I also don't know if I should believe this either.

What is the most filling low cal dinner you can eat?
My husband wants to lose weight but he wants to know what would be the most filling dinner. Salads just don't cut it for him.
