Okay, I know this is going to sound bad... but I HAVE to have a soda at lunch. I need the caffeine and I absolutely hate coffee and tea. I can't drink diet soda though because the artificial sweeteners upset my stomach (my dad too... our bodies just don't agree with it). Also I had read too that they are bad for you... although I thought Splenda was supposed to be the "safest" so far. So is that bad if I have one soda a day? I really don't each sugary things otherwise (except for the occasional ice cream cone in the summer). I hate anything with vinegar in it... so I'm not even taking in sugar through condiments like salad dressing.
Oh and Marissa, I had switched to all whole grain stuff (well as much as I could anyway) and then my doctor told me not to eat any bread at all. And I was like WTF? Aren't whole grains good for your heart? Not to mention they are a source of fiber.
