I have a hell of a time getting good fruit and veggies at a good price here in southern CT. I live in a low income area and the store shelves are literally stocked with things called, "grape drink" and the lot. Fruits and veggies are woefully expensive here and I don't have room for a garden :( Fortunately I'm moving :D
Does anyone else get sick from sugar substitutes like Equal, Spenda, etc? They give me a horrible stomach ache. I can only eat regular sugar.
One of the reasons female runners are very prone to injuries is in part that a lack of fat in the diet along with intense running lowers your body fat %. Once it gets too low you can stop menstruating and that in combination with an inadequate diet makes healing less efficient. I work a lot with college athletes and spend a lot of time trying to educate them on proper diet for their activity level. It's pulling teeth though.. everyone wants to be skinny as a twig.
