Water weight
I wonder if stuffing my self with water will make me gain weight through water weight ???
-
annefood Hey @NellyAymon . First, I wouldn't recommend stuffing yourself with water—it is possible to become overly hydrated such that the sodium levels in your blood drop too low. However, to do that you'd...

darkchocolatepeanutbutter Hi @NellyAymon! I'm in agreement with @annefood. Our bodies made up of 60% to 65% water in order to support all of our internal systems so staying hydrated is a great way to help everything to work...

NehaNBB Ok, this may sound crazy -- I make an omelette muffin most mornings, and I've got it down to 2 minutes of prep. When I wake up, I whip up 2 eggs, add some salt, pepper, whatever herbs I have, and...
How do i avoid sweets candy etc. If i have a lot of them in my house ?
-
justinponeill Throw them away or "gift" them to someone else when you end up or someone else's house (As long as they aren't open yet).

nikkipayne21 That's always hard. I struggle with the same problem. But I just have to remind myself what I want more. I want to be healthier and my body will feel awful afterwards
-
davisaa It's tough to get started but once you cut them from your diet you'll lose the craving and eventually be able to avoid them completely! Good luck!

That 40% of our corn crop winds up in gas tanks as ethanol and about 8 bushels of corn is only 22 gallons of fuel BUT is also enough to feed a person for a year. Not a huge proponent of an all-corn...

DietID_TeamDietitians This is heartbreaking. We're using so much of our land for fuel for cars instead of fuel for our bodies

darkchocolatepeanutbutter I've always wanted to go there! Looks amazing. Hu serves paleo food which I like to eat when I don't want any grains. It's on 5th Ave between 13th and 14th St.
-

What to do with smoked mackerel for breakfast?
-
nloai001 I usually have smoked salmon with cream cheese on a bagel (or toast). Maybe your smoked mackerel could be a good sub for the smoked salmon?
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter You could also try smoked fish on homemade avocado toast! It has the same cream texture as cream cheese with a boost of healthy fats.
-
annefood Love those ideas @nloai001 @darkchocolatepeanutbutter ! It could also be good with scrambled eggs.
