Do you know how much salt is in a frozen TV dinner?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 19 May 08

Last night I was about to warm up a frozen TV dinner and happened to glance at the nutrition panel on the back. Did you know that there is tons of salt in those dinners? I had no idea. It said that there was 65% of the daily value...

Dolly13 Not only in frozen dinners either. You should check out the label on a can of plain canned veggies. LOADED with sodium. And, have you taken a look at the ingredients list? There are so many chemicals in there that you can't even pronounce! I heard that the...

I eat a lot but dont gain calories, how harmful could it be?

keep_onwatch @keep_onwatch (2680) • India 19 May 08

I love to eat whether it be healthy fruits or not so healthy pizzas, cheese burgers, sodas, chocolates, ice-creams or anything. My mouth is continously chewing on something or the other, even while im typing this. But the fact is...

Dolly13 You just have a high metabolism, but it probably will slow down as you get older. If I were you, I would make a concious effort now to regulate what you are eating. Try to include lots of whole, natural foods such as fruits and vegetables, and lean protein....

Do you still have your morning cup of coffee/tea on very hot summer mornings?

kieungoc @kieungoc (232) • United States 2 May 08

Yes, I am like many folks out there who need their coffee first thing in the morning. It's just so relaxing and tasty and it wakes me up. I am sure caffeine doesn't even affect me anymore, so it must be psychological. I just love...

Dolly13 During the cooler months, I always drink my hot coffee or tea. But in the summer months I switch to having my iced tea. I live in Louisiana, so since it is already nearing 90 degrees here on a daily basis, I have switched to iced tea now.

Dolly13 The only thing I would be careful of if I were you is the amount of high fat foods you eat, because even though you do not gain weight, it can still cause a build-up in your arteries, leading to heart attacks. I know this because I had an uncle who was...

What do you take for your Migraines?

I have had migraines since I was about 15 years old. I know where they come from. I take Depo Provera birth control, and that is one of the side effects. Its a welcome trade off for me, as I only have to worry about birth control...

Dolly13 I make sweetened tea, but I do not use sugar. I also do not to use artificial sweeteners. I use stevia, which is all-natural, and makes some of the sweetest tea ever. And, stevia does not affect glucose levels.

Have you used these? I ran across them last night as a biz opportunity. I am just wondering if they really work. I am considering ordering some. Please let me know what you know about them.

Dolly13 Yes, they seemed to help with curbing the appetite. As I said, though, I have never dealt directly with the company, so I cannot comment on their service.

Perfect weight?

Kazashmaza @Kazashmaza (431) • Australia 20 Nov 07

Dolly13 I would say that a person finding their ideal weight can be very simple. It should not be based on what other people think. Instead, it should be the weight at which YOU think you look your best, and where YOU feel the healthiest.
