The blood type diet is a bunch of quackery.
Foods	Sugar-Free Grape Jelly or Jam	Mar 20 2013 01:57 (UTC)	11
Original Post by carmenxox: I mash up berries with a tsp of chia seeds and use that as a "jam" Much healthier and actually has some nutritional value. Plus no junk and artificial sweeteners. I second this. This is a great idea to make a healthy "jam"!

Think about it this way; isn't eating healthy cheaper since in the long run you will not have to deal with so many medicals bills, numerous doctor appointments, etc. Eating healthy can save time and money.
Foods	struggle getting vitamins i need	Mar 07 2013 03:46 (UTC)	3
Calcium - chia seeds, fish, almonds Iron - spinach, red meat Potassium - fruits and vegetables tend to have the highest amount of potassium so just load up on them

Health & Support	Is my low-carb, high protein diet dangerous?	Mar 03 2013 00:40 (UTC)	9
Are you getting enough healthy dietary fats? When you go low carb, fat becomes your buddy because fat is used as energy in place of the carbs!
Vegetarian	Is being Veggie safe for teens?	Mar 03 2013 00:27 (UTC)	4
How about you buy meat from local family farms if you are nearby any? The animals likely lived a better life than animals from factory farms.
Foods	What's the deal with Oreo cookies?	Feb 28 2013 23:16 (UTC)	3
Oreos are pretty generic though the sugar is what hooks you on to them. I haven't had oreos in over a year and I am happy about that
Foods	stevia opinions?	Feb 28 2013 23:05 (UTC)	6
Yay I would suggest to use stevia in moderation. So if you use the stevia liquid extract, a few drops will sweeten the food nicely. Try not to use it so much that you become dependent on it.
Foods	Whats your take on Naked Juice?	Feb 28 2013 22:56 (UTC)	1
To me, not healthy. The juice is likely pasteurized which destroys nutrients. The fiber is likely to be stripped away too.
Foods	coconut oil	Feb 28 2013 02:08 (UTC)	1
Ignore the red bar. Coconut oil has healthy fats so what is the need to worry?
Foods	healthy morning coffee?!	Feb 28 2013 02:06 (UTC)	12
Black with 2 tbsp of half and half cream or other times, I'll just drink it black.

Motivation	Smoking- sometimes I wish I never quit :(	Feb 23 2013 17:07 (UTC)	14
Would you rather have a few pounds on you or damage in your body from smoking? In time, your appetite will adjust. Try to focus on healthy food choices.
Foods	officially banning myself from sugar	Feb 23 2013 02:44 (UTC)	6
Just to let you know, agave blue or any agave syrup is not healthy at all. Just search "agave unhealthy" on Google and you find many websites pertaining to this topic.

Original Post by georgiamapua: Ok so this is my story: I have been overweight since I was 2 months old and have been extremely overweight since I was 2. I have always had a really poor immunity - had whooping cough when I was 10 and had tonsils and adenoids taken out when I was eleven. I have dyspraxia, asthma, eczema and hay fever. Have always eaten healthy - mc donalds was only 1-2 times yearly. I now have ended up with a rash which looks like acne all over my face and arms. It has been there just over a year so that is also why I got put on this diet. My doctor has told me that if nothing has happened by 28th of march, I will have to go on a juice fast and starve myself until my body decides to use up it's fat. So losing weight has always been a struggle and it gets really depressing after 14 years of it :( since September I have only lost 7lb, 1.5cm off my waist and .5cm off my thighs. Are you sure that doctor is credible? Like a juice fast will cause damage to your body because you will likely be missing out on healthy fats. protein, and other vital nutrients. Even if you lose weight on the juice fast, you will likely gain it back. How about you increase your calories, you are eating way too little. I personally found that I lost weight when increasing my calories to a healthier level. How about 1500 calories or so?
Foods	Chicken vs Beef	Feb 23 2013 01:54 (UTC)	3
Original Post by plou022823210: A pound of red meat takes 1 month to fully digest, I think fish is safer but if you feel like eating once or twice a month that's good. Red meat also has an enzyme that helps food digest (niacin) you can get the B vitamin if you choose to not eat red meat. Where is the proof in the 1 lb red meat taking a month to digest. Our bodies are fully capable of digesting the food given to them in a couple of hours or perhaps a few days if you have digestion issues.
Foods	Avocados - what the heck?	Feb 23 2013 01:50 (UTC)	4
Just eat the whole avocado! It's about 120-300 cals depending on the size. The current avocados I have at homes are so tiny and are about 120 calories. Anyways, I used to fear the avocado and would only eat 1/4 of it daily but now I just eat the whole avocado . Avocados are a great source of mono saturated fats, numerous vitamins and minerals, lots of fiber, etc. The large amount of fat in the avocados will keep you full for many hours which is great since it may reduce snacking (snacking cals can add up quickly).
Foods	NutraGrain bars?	Feb 23 2013 00:15 (UTC)	1
That nutra-grain bar will make you hungry in less than an hour or so. Granola bars tend to be pseudo health foods. Granola bars are pretty much considered a less tasty candy bar to me! They have an excessive amount of sugar and preservatives. How about nuts? They have fat and protein which will help with hunger. Or perhaps boiled eggs? Apple with nut butter?
Foods	Butter your toast???	Jan 04 2013 17:44 (UTC)	9
I use real butter because it is healthier than margarine (fake product) and it tastes delicious.
