I used to be a Regular Coke junkie, but a new year's resolution was to give it up. I am clean from Coke and now actually drink about a gallon of water daily. I hate water, but drink it knowing it's good for me. Long story short, are sunflower seeds bad for me as long as i'm drinking all the water.

Just fit the calorie range into your diet. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
