Hi, everyone! Hope you are well. I wanted to mention something so many times in the past, but neglected to put it in my journal. For anyone who has a food allergy (soy, milk, wheat, peanut, egg, sulfites, etc.) it is really important that you make your own meals and try to eat a whole foods diet. So many of the foods being sold today, what we would call prepackaged convenience foods, contain multiple ingredients and sometimes the company forgets to put an ingredient on the label. A lot of foods are recalled because the label was misbranded, leaving out an ingredient. I signed up to get an email update about recalled food and I get an email about a food recall every day. Check out the USA website FoodSafety.gov and click on the Recalls & Alerts tab at the top of the page to see recent recalls. Sometimes the food recall is a pet food or pet treat. Some food may be a health hazard because the food is contaminated or has caused illness. Not nice to think about, but please take care of yourself and your pets.

Hello, everyone! For those who know me, you were here cheering me on and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am with you all the way! For new members, I know this is new for you and you can do it. I started to track my foods to reduce the amount of sugar that I was eating. To do that, you go to your profile and click on View Diet Calendar. Look for the date and click on Add entry. You will be on the page called My Food Diary, where you add everything you eat for the day. Study that page! Try your best to keep your calories below the RDI that FatSecret calculated for you. If you forgot you RDI, it is at the very bottom of that page, to the left of the pie chart. Figure out what you need to keep eating for your health and what you need to stop eating. It takes a while to figure it all out, but you will get into it. My daily goal is to keep my sugars column at 50 grams or below. The fiber column needs to be at least 25 grams unless your doctor has you on a low fiber diet. Protein depends on your age and gender so please look back at my August 24, 2014 journal to see how much protein you need every day or just search the Internet and find out. The fats column is controversial. Most nutritionists or dietitians say keep your fats between 30 and 35%, which you can see is the yellowish color in the pie chart. Some people on a low carb diet say higher fat will help you to feel full and you will lose weight. I try to stay 35% or lower because I feel sick when I eat high fat foods. The carbs column depends on you. I lost weight when I kept my carbs below 200g, but found that I lost more weight if I reduced my carbs to 120-160g. Get out of the chair and move every day. One to three days a week will help, but daily walking gets results faster. Stick with your plan. You will get healthier and feel better. Good luck!
