Do you ever have those days, weeks, or even months where you almost constantly battle belly bloating, gas, pain, or discomfort? Trust me, I’ve been there too.

I don’t know about you, but every time I turn around I feel like there’s a new small kitchen appliance that everyone just has to have to make the latest and greatest food stuffs. Not only do I not want to spend all kinds of money on every new small kitchen appliance out there, I…
Do you want to eat better, but always find yourself grabbing something easy and convenient when it’s time to eat? I used to be there too. Now I plan my meals (also known as meal planning) every week. Just doing this has helped me lose weight, keep it off, save time cooking, and even save…
