Watch what you are eating .........

As some of you know, I've had a couple of weeks with some health issues that kept me from exercising and sent me for CT scan of lwr back looking for nerve compressions and a brain MRI looking for any signs of MS or any other "nasties" - good news is nothing showed up.  What is it that is causing the issues with my leg?????   And so we shall continue to move forward with a couple of my own theories in the back of my mind.  One of those theories is a build up of chemicals in my system (and NO, I don't think they all took up residence in just one of my legs!).  I do believe they can cause side effects of various types of ill health because I've had it happen before...... many years ago!   Since embarking on this weight loss blog journey I've also been changing some of the things I eat to "low fat".  Normally I would keep well away from any of the sweetners since I know how nasty they are, but I hadn't thought about the sweetener "numbers" added to diet yoghurt. Aspartame can have some very nasty effects - take a look into it a bit more and watch the ingredients listed on your items in the grocery trolley! 
Since today here is a very busy day of preserving food from our garden, I'll finish here - but please watch what we are eating!  Love & Hugs, Sharm

I absolutley agree with you!I started off the year eliminating all white foods(-bread,pasta,rice etc in favour of wholemeal varieties) ALL diet food inc sweeteners and all caffeine-I know it sounds drastic but I really believe that diet food can be BAD for us...
I am doing pretty well and can honestly say that I am enjoying the flavours of food- while losing weight.The weight loss IS slower but health is my aim too so slow is fine with me...
Keep Healthy!
Hope your leg will soon be better,
Warm Wishes,
Callie
