Ingredients to stay away from

miss_april06 Posts: 21 Joined: 2005/06/20	2005/07/06, 06:13 PM When going out and buying foods. What are the ingredients that you should stay away from? The ones that are hiding in the packages that you don't see. This could be really helpful to the people that can't find out why they are having a Plateau...

Bananas can be part of a healthy diet, so can corn and peas. You need a wide variety of fruits and vegetables for a healthy diet. You just have to consider calorie content and starch content and eat some foods in moderation. -------------- It\'s easier to go down a hill than up it but the view is much better at the top. -Henry Ward Beecher
