Some Info...
This week we are all trying to cut out the crap that we find hiding in our diets right? well I have a product for you :)
If you really like flavored water, but have found that the kind you like contains things that are... less than desirable... I found that Aquafina Flavor Splash has absolutely nothing scary in it. It is 0 calories, 0 carbs. It contains Filtered Water, Natural Flavors and a few other ingredients to protect flavor and freshness.
Another thing that I've been doing that's been pretty cool is completely cutting bread out of my diet (even the gluten free kind). 1 out of 3 Americans are gluten intolerant and/or celiacs. (more information on the disease @ http://www.celiac.org/cd-main.php). Everyone in my family has this and it ranges from a stuffy nose to gluten actually eating a hole in a family members stomach. eek right? Anyway. Instead of bread I've been wrapping sandwiches, tacos and anything that would usually contain gluten and other bread like products. Who knows, you may find out you have this allergy before it makes itself apparent. Also, you can read my reply to Sandi's post about the diet soda... One of my professors had this as well.
One last thing! If you want a "tell it to me straight" type of book, I highly, HIGHLY recommend "The Hundred Year Lie: How To Protect Yourself From The Chemicals That Are Destroying Your Health" by Randall Fitgerald (I got mine for a dollar off of Amazon).
Anyway, thats enough rambling. Have a happy and healthy today and tomorrow!
