jessicaloribeth asked: Do you have any thoughts on the health benefits of skim milk vs. soy/almond/rice milk? I enjoy all types and I was wondering if any of these choices might be better than the others. I've also been reading on several nutrition blogs that choosing low or nonfat dairy products may actually be less healthy than full fat dairy options, do you have any thoughts or information on that topic?

xheylove asked: Hi. I'm 19 years old, I weigh about 170-180 and I'm about 5'2. I read that my calorie intake should be about 1425 a day. I don't like to exorcise, so that's not really an option.

My diet severely lacks in fruits, simply because I don't really like them except in juices. How can I incorporate more fruit into my diet without filling up on sugary juices?

ontra asked: Hi, I've always been rather muscular but after I've started working out (about 6 months ago) I feel like I've bulked up even more especially my calves. I don't really know what to do as I don't want to stop exercising but I also don't want to become even more muscular. Can you recommend any workouts or exercises?
