I have been a fan of this site for a while. http://www.dietitian.com/calcbody.php. They have great information on having a healthy body. I read almost every tab finding out information about everything! It was amazing how much I did not know about my own health! Using that link-and following it here-http://www.dietitian.com/calchelp.php I have come up with a healthy eating plan for me that helps me lose weight and literally feel great. I have found new and LASTING energy and better overall health. Reading about all this inspired me to really follow their eating plan and the results have been incredible and really healthy! I have followed it strictly and it doesn't even feel like I've missed out on anything! It has been whole grains, fruits, vegetables and lots of water! I wanted to share with you some of the things I have learned!
