Thanks!!!

The sugars are coming from the tomatoes, most likely - just look at the ingredients list on the cans, as long as it is tomatoes, spices, salt you are fine - if there is added sugar, go to th egrocery and look for no-sugar added instead. Spices- no problem! The parmesan is not on our list, leave it out for now, serve it on the side for the family and just think about your goals. Sounds good over ground turkey and zucchini!

I'm sure this isn't the right place to ask this question...but since we are talking sweat(kinda)...yes...I am sweating alot...but I am also sweating alot when I'm not working out!!!It's awful and seems to be getting worse...I can't wear t-shirts that are fitted around the armpit..I get nasty sweat circles,I tried changing deoderants to no avail ...I know...TMI...but I am curious as to why I am sweating more...even when not working out...
