Healthy Eating Plan Comparison
Looking back on week one of this class. I have not changed my eating habits that much. I have never been one for Diets. I have always been interested in eating healthier.

Vegetables are something else I lack. Although I do love them, I do not eat thaws much as I should. One thing I can do is maybe have small salad with my lunch. I could have a large salad with dinner. Adding green...
