Your Questions
Your Questions

I get plenty of questions in various comments throughout the website, but I also get comments and questions via the Project Swole Contact Form.

Generally I address those questions through e-mail, but often I do not have the time to reply to each and every question personally.

From now on I want to take a more proactive approach to answering Your Health Questions by posting them separately in the blog. This way we can be sure that everyone benefits from the Q & A.

“I was wondering if some of the things that i normally eat on a regular basis are healthy or not.. I’m 19 years old and do not get good home-cooked meals anymore.. I’m now living on my own so I try and make things that are fast and easy.

Here is a list of some of things that I take in:

  1. Special K strawberry cereal
  2. salad mix (packaged) with non-fat thousand island dressing
  3. unsweetened luzianne tea with 2 pkgs. of sweet n lo
  4. 100% orange juice (Tropicana)
  5. grapefruit juice ( do not want to give up)
  6. lean cuisine meals (all)
  7. granola and Nutri-Grain bars

What should I be substituting these with?

And also are rice cakes and real fruit smoothies good for you?”

It works like this: leave a comment with your favorite link of all time for today’s category.

Wow, that’s simple!

For more links and other link categories, check out Your Links at Project Swole.

Today’s theme is Food.

A happy bonus: the best links of all I will surely submit to multiple social bookmark sharing websites, which means more traffic for you! =)

Here’s my link of the day: Healthy Recipes from the Healthy Irishman

“The Healthy Irishman Fueling your body with healthy food. Fueling your mind with the wealth of health.”

The Healthy Irishman delivers tasty healthy recipes on a daily basis, while also being witty and smart. This is a blog that I surf to whenever I am trying to think of a new recipe to try.

Project Swole has a couple healthy recipes, but nothing compared to the Healthy Irishman. If you are looking for new, innovative, healthy recipes, check it out.

An honorable mention is: Get Whole Foods at Your Local Whole Foods Market

Whole Foods Market is the #1 whole food retailer in the country. On this website you can find healthy recipes, local Whole Foods Market locations, as well as tons of articles and other information about healthy food.

If you are looking to make a healthy impact on your diet, you should consider switching from processed foods to whole foods. You will see and feel the difference.

Now it’s your turn. But don’t submit links to pages that have nothing to do with food, because I won’t approve those comments. =)
