Hi I'm Dee. I'm 23 and married. I've worked in health care as well as office settings but am now a home-maker. I'm knowledgeable in a variety of subjects but don't mind doing a little research if asked about something I don't know about. Most of my friends come to me for advice. I read several advice columns and would like to help you also. I'm not judgemental. Your life is yours to live it as you choose. I believe asking for advice is good, but ultimately the choice is yours. You WILL NOT find a hurtful or smartass answer here.
If you have a question that you would like to keep private, you can email me and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

I have a few questions, here. Thanks in advance!
I've tried eating fruits for a meal (Like apples), but minutes later, I'm hungry again! This doesn't make sense to me. Why does this happen?
Also, I don't like many veggies. Are there any vegetables that actually TASTE GOOD? I can't stand broccoli.
Last question! If you want to lose weight, is it REQUIRED to decrease the intake of carbs? I'm a very picky eater, and most of the food I eat has carbs.
The apple may not be enough for your body. Try eating some cheese with the apple. The protein in the cheese will help stabilize your blood sugar keeping it from dropping and making you hungry again in a few minutes. Another option is eating a fruit salad. That gives you the health benefits of eating fruit but at a larger serving that's more filling.
I also can't stand vegetables. The ones I do like are corn, peas and carrots. Have you tried a salad to get your veggies? Another option is to try preparing the veggies in a different way. For example, I hate zucchini, but love zucchini bread. With a little experimentation, you may find a way that you like your veggies.
The low-carb diet is one of the many diets out there today. It varies by person whether it will work or not. Since you like carbs, I think the best thing for you would be to balance your diet, making sure to include meat, fruits and veggies. Another thing to watch is serving size. We tend to eat more than what is actually considered a serving. A serving of fruit or veggies should be about the size of your fist. A serving of pasta is about the size of a scoop of ice cream. A serving of meat is about the size of a deck of cards. A serving of cheese is about the size of your thumb.
