Dieting - blah

Jul 31, 2009 06:45

So I am trying to lose weight, as I gained 15-20lbs my last year of grad school (gee thanks stress...) and I wanted to make a post of all the good diet-friendly meals that I know and love so I remember that there are foods I like to eat on a diet. I also know a bunch of you guys are or have dieted in the past and I would love input of your favorite ( Read more... )

I have to see if I have the printout of that recipe; I can't remember what it's called to find it online!

I'd recommend:
yogurt + berries (the WW yogurts are DELICIOUS, especially the vanilla)
popcorn (on your list but I should reinforce it)
Fiber One bars, pricey but high-fiber and delicious
some veggie burgers--my favorite might be Gardenburger Portabella
Fudgsicles (45 calories!)
50% reduced fat jalapeno cheddar by Cabot, or 75% reduced fat sharp cheddar
Babybel minis, esp. the light ones

Oh, these are all snacks. I should have said that!

Also good:
egg whites w/ vegetables and just a bit of cheese

"veggie salad" from Chipotle: fajita vegetables, guacamole, black beans, mild salsa, and corn or hot salsa... a bit of cheese if you want, but no dressing, no sour cream. Extremely large and filling and keeps that nasty dressing off the salad :)

Hey lady! Those things sound pretty delicious. I know one thing that helped me out a lot (and also helped me to lose some weight) was checking labels for high fructose corn syrup! You wouldn't believe what items have it in it. I know that when I cut out high fructose, and only drank water and milk that i felt a lot better too ( ... )
