Foods	Not drinking enough water	Sep 09 2008 16:29 (UTC)	6
one thing that has helped me is trying to drink a bottle of 1.5litres a day. I open it in the morning and try to finish it by night. I keep it around all day long and just take little quantities whenever i see it. It's been working cause most of the time I do drink the whole bottle. And we're talking about someone who used to drink a glass a day maximum.

Lentils and beans do have a lot of iron, but lots of people have told me that you have to take them with vitamin C so that your body actually absorbs the iron. I try having a fruit like kiwi (packed with vitamin C) after eating lentils.
Foods	How much do you spend on groceries per week	May 06 2008 18:42 (UTC)	10
I spend about $40. It's just me, and I'm a college student. I try not to spend any more money on food during the week, but I sometimes eat out as well.

Try nuts! All kinds. Healthy fat and some protein, no carbs!
Foods	how do i get MORE FIBER?!?	Feb 10 2008 12:01 (UTC)	12
If you eat lots of veggies with lunch and dinner(half of your plate for exemple), and eat brown rice/whole-wheat pasta etc, you will have no problem reaching 25g. I used to eat 10g a day, and now sometimes i go over 30g without even trying!
Foods	healthy breakfast ?!?	Feb 10 2008 11:58 (UTC)	14
Lately I've been having(along with black coffee) a whole wheat toasted english muffin with 2 teaspoons of natural peanut butter, one teaspoon for each side. Sometimes i also have 2 egg whites with it. Carbs, fiber, fat and protein! Honestly, this keeps me full for like 6 hours. Try it!
Foods	Why am I craving nuts?	Feb 09 2008 13:03 (UTC)	7
Whenever I get almonds I can't stop binging on them. They are crunchy and have great taste, and everytime I need something to chew on, I take 5 almonds. But that could become like 50 almonds in a day. So I took the (hard lol) decision to not buy them anymore, and I try to get my good fats from natural peanut butter and olive oil. It is not easy, but it has been the only solution for me. You did well throwing them away!
Foods	Peanut Butters Fat	Jan 22 2008 16:35 (UTC)	7
Skippy is not that bad but it does have a lot of sodium. If you get natural peanut butter, you'll have less sodium. The calories are the same but they come from fat and protein and no carbs(Skippy has carbs as well). I eat about a tablespoon of natural peanut butter a day, usually during breakfast. The fat and protein keeps you full longer. Plus, its really good in oatmeal, on an english mufiin or even with fruit. Nothing bad about it, you just have to eat it in moderation.
Weight Loss	Pasta is my weakness	Jan 19 2008 14:24 (UTC)	1
quick question: serving size is 56g on CC. That's cry pasta right? Cause for barilla plus it's less then a cup, and already 200 calories.
Health & Support	Almost fainted a while ago...	Jan 15 2008 16:29 (UTC)	5
For today I would have eaten about 1800 really. 2 hours of ballet is about 500 burned calories. But I was planning on eating them after class( I hate going to class on a full stomach). Should i have a bigger breakfast? Is it important to eat them before exercising? I'm so full with my english muffin and peanut butter!
Foods	Chicken broth	Jan 14 2008 07:52 (UTC)	2
I thought bouillon and broth was the same, broth is bouillon in french, or so I thought... Thanks for your answer, it does help. But on the package there are no indications I'm afraid. I guess I'll use the Knorr indication. There aren't that many calories, but a lot of sodium!
Foods	Unquenchable Thirst? [Resolved; thanks!]	Jan 13 2008 19:11 (UTC)	10
It's happened to me before, and in two days my throat was aching a lot. Perhaps you're gonna be sick or something? I can't think of anything else!
Health & Support	Birth control	Dec 10 2007 20:55 (UTC)	2
I have been taking the pill for a year now (I'm not sexually active, i just had lots of problems with my period) and I love it. Side-effects: just bigger boobs for me! I was a 32A and because a 34B. I'm satisfied with that:) I guess it depends on the person. A friend of mine gained 5 kilos in a month.
Weight Loss	Do your friends and family know?	Dec 03 2007 19:37 (UTC)	10
Only my brother knows and i dont want anyone else to know considering his reaction. He thinks what i"m doing is irrational. Not one single member of my family has ever been on a diet, and they wouldnt understand that I'm just trying to maintain my weight and that I like knowing that I eat what I should be eating everyday.

Well i live in France and since they dont eat a lot of peanut butter, all natural peanut butter is nowhere to be found:( So i have to settle for what I find!
Foods	is there such thing as low(ish) cal cookies??	Nov 15 2007 19:28 (UTC)	18

Fitness	Ballet!	Nov 15 2007 16:08 (UTC)	12
I started taking ballet classes again this year(though just once a week) after taking classes for 13 years and 3 years of not dancing at all. It was very hard to get back on track, but its so worth it. For me, ballet is complete exercice: you use ALL the muscles in your body in order to dance. People make it look easy-it is NOT easy at all. If you have never done it, it will be kinda hard to get your body to do the 'turn-out' as you call it. But dont give up, keep on working on it, and I'm sure you will get better every time. I have seen people start in their 30s and reaching a good level. If you have any questions I'd be happy to help you more! xxx
Foods	42g of fiber!	Nov 08 2007 19:21 (UTC)	9
Thank you for your answers...the problem is that I'm not intentionnaly trying to eat that much fiber.It's just the things I like that contain a lot of it. For example today I had oatmeal and milk for breakfast, a banana, almonds, bulgur(loads of fiber) beans and salad at lunch, an apple, air-popped popcorn, and for dinner broccoli and chicken. That's a normal one day menu isnt it? Should I replace for example bulgur with white rice something? That article got me thinking, I have low iron levels....
