darkchocolatepeanutbutter 8yr Hey @chasketti! You don't need to give up carbs, just consider smaller portions of some of your favorites since eating too much of any food can increase body fat or triglyceride levels. Also consider other factors such as physical activity, family history and stress. Hope this helps you! -
chasketti 8yr Alright, thank you! I exercise about 2 times a week, but I might investigate family history. Thanks! -
annefood 8yr @chasketti in addition to @darkchocolatepeanutbutter 's great advice about moderation, when you do eat carbs try switching to whole grains. Instead of white bread/toast try Ezekiel Bread http://www.foodforlife.com/product/breads/ezekiel-49-sprouted-whole-grain-bread and instead of white rice eat brown or wild rice instead. The extra fiber is key. -
chasketti 8yr Alright, thank you!
-
annefood 8yr You're welcome !
I need a healthy, filling, and easy to make meal. Any suggestions?
-
emmie Caprese salad!
-
chasketti That's a good idea, I'll have to try it! Hopefully I'll be able to find good tomatoes, they're rare unless you grow them yourself.

emmie That's true. Maybe try fruit stands? That's where I get most of my fruits and veggies if I can't grow them myself.
