Pink & Black’s Twitter chat returned last Thursday night with a bang!
Since Pink & Black’s July theme is health, we wanted a first-hand discussion with our readers. Our questions covered healthy snacks, nutrition for twenty-somethings and successful diets. We were lucky enough to have our readers share their answers.
Below we feature our favorite answers to last night’s questions.Want to join #PABgirltalk? Tune in Thursday, July 24 at 8 p.m. EST. See you online!
@PinkandBlackMag It’s hard for me, but I always try to only keep healthy foods in my kitchen. Avoid temptation at all costs! #PABgirltalk

@PinkandBlackMag My Fitbit has helped me stay motivated! Also trying new workout routines (into Pilates at the moment) #PABgirltalk — Melissa Rosa (@melrosaa) July 18, 2014

@PinkandBlackMag I love eating all the bad stuff, but I cut down on the portion/serving size #PABgirltalk — Paige Brown (@PrSophisticated) July 18, 2014
A3: I’ve changed my food habits in terms of portions. I try to use smaller plates when I eat. #PABgirltalk

RT @purrtyinpink73: A3: Honestly, not that much. I’ve been eating more green, leafy vegetables and as much as possible sticking to raw foods — Pink & Black (@PinkandBlackMag) July 18, 2014
Q4: How do you eat healthy at restaurants? Any go-to meals? #PABgirltalk
— Pink & Black (@PinkandBlackMag) July 18, 2014
A4: Usually, they have “healthy” options so I try and stick to those. Although salmon and veggies are always a great pick! #PABgirltalk — Rebecca Hawkins (@RebeccaElenaPR) July 18, 2014
A4: I eat healthy by getting water at restaurants! I also stick to wraps and fruit offerings. #PABgirltalk
— Molly Berg (@mollykateberg) July 18, 2014
RT @purrtyinpink73: A4: Their 500 calories or under menus are a lifesaver. If not, salad with dressing on the side. #PABgirltalk — Pink & Black (@PinkandBlackMag) July 18, 2014
Q5: Have you ever tried a diet? What did you try and did it do what you wanted it to do? #PABgirltalk
— Pink & Black (@PinkandBlackMag) July 18, 2014
A5: I’ve never tried a Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig program, but I have used calorie counting apps and followed general rules #PABgirltalk — Rebecca Hawkins (@RebeccaElenaPR) July 18, 2014
A5: I’ve done one! It was successful in terms of decreased portions and increased fruits and veggies. #PABgirltalk

Q6: Why is nutrition important for twenty-somethings? #PABgirltalk — Pink & Black (@PinkandBlackMag) July 18, 2014
A6: Nutrition is important because we know what’s at risk! We’ve grown up on messages of healthy food and exercise. #PABgirltalk
— Molly Berg (@mollykateberg) July 18, 2014
A6: 20-somethings should take advantage of their (generally speaking) good health & develop healthy habits now #PABgirltalk — Rebecca Hawkins (@RebeccaElenaPR) July 18, 2014
MT @purrtyinpink73: So we can lead healthy lives – physically, mentally, emotionally and even spiritually. Plus, we’ll look good doing it!
