I can totally relate to this! I try to eat healthy and stay on track, but after a while, I start craving sweets again. It’s hard to resist especially when you’ve been doing so well you want to treat yourself here and there. It’s tough to break the cycle, but awareness is a big step.

I love eating cranberries as a snack. I was aware of some of their health benefits, but I learned new ones from this article. I also didn’t know that cranberries could potentially cause kidney stones. 😓

As a busy college student, finding time to plan meals and shop for groceries is a challenge. Between classes, studying, and other responsibilities, meal planning often gets pushed aside.

I’m guilty of this as well🙈 making homemade chips is definitely a healthier option. I try to eat fruit whenever I can to substitute for chips. Or something that has a nice crunch like carrots🥕 😋.
