I thank all of You for your help. I am a semi-vegetarian, I dont eat red meat or poultry, so fruits and veggies make up a good part of my diet. Ahhh, if only i could embrace the vegan lifestyle, but i LOVE dairy.....cheese specifically. And sweets. I find that now that I am a bit older(32), i cant eat as much cheese and as many sweets as i want without gaining a bit of weight. Also, I want to adopt a healthier lifestyle before health problems begin to arise. So my long-term goal is to get the muenster cheese and sweets thing to moderate intake. sounds silly i know.
