  • Lorna @annefood Thanks. The guide didn't really say club soda and without reading all the ingredients on seltzer or sparking water - I wasn't sure if it was in or out. I think one of my obstacles to...

Does anyone have any good healthy semi cheap recipes? I've dropped a lot of weight from being sick but would like to lose more the healthiest way possible.

  • sugardetoxme Such a good question!!!! I wish the books I've read turned into films, but Food Chains really sticks out in my mind
  • GooseBarry Agree on Food Chains. I know a lot of people in my community saw FedUp with their kids. I think that also had an impact because it was so widely distributed.

It's hard not to eat desserts because they taste so good but I know it will be bad for me in the long run. How can I stop craving desserts?
8yr
  • purplebatman You can throw out or give away any of your dessert food so you don't have it in your house. It will reduce the cravings as you do not see the food every day.
  • nicoleigh Sliced strawberries cooked in the oven on a low temperature for a few hours are pretty tasty :)
  • Emy @kristinamlynar feel you ! Having the same problem over here... It's so hard, because all those tasty little desserts are just delicious ...! 😅
