rightsortofleft asked: Hi, I've been doing a lot of core recently and my lower back has really been hurting. I think I hurt it doing flutter kicks and leg lifts and forgoing proper form at points. I'm just wondering what I should do to help my back and how I can keep my abs strong while I wait for it to heal. Thanks so much!

anythingtobe-beautiful asked: I've started a new diet pretty recently. I eat a lot healthier and a lot less with exercise 3 - 4 times a day. Now every time I try and eat something even slightly unhealthy it makes me so sick I think I'm going to throw up.

Thank you for taking the time to answer questions from your readers! :-) But since most of them are about losing weight, what advice can you give to someone who's trying to gain weight, who's eating healthy but still looks way too skinny? P.S. Your posts are always inspiring and helpful. I hope you don't get tired of answering questions. :-)
