So ive been reading that book and im trying to change my eating habits.
But if i cant eat carbs (at least not the simple kind) and i cant eat meat more than a couple times a week what the heck am i supposed to eat.
I am having a lot of trouble trying to figure out dinners to make.
help!

Have you tried "eating clean?" IMO it's a lot better than skipping meals. Google it up. I use it and went from a size 8 at my largest to a size 2 now. 

SoonToBeJD --- 11 years ago -

Vegetables! My diet is 60% veggies, 20% lean meats, 10% fruit, 10% whole grains. Also, toss a couple Greek yogurts in there. And yeah, I'm a health nut. 

LaLa --- 11 years ago -

Its not skipping meals its just that i have no idea what to make.
Can you eat meat on this eating clean business? 

SoonToBeJD --- 11 years ago -

I also "eat clean." When I first made the switch about two years ago, I went from feeling blah, to feeling amazing. 

CamPen Hooters Girl --- 11 years ago -

Yes you can. very little red meat, mostly chicken and believe it or not... Bison. Whole grains, lotsa vegetables. Nothing processed, so many canned veggies are out. You also need to eat 5 small meals a day, vice 3 larger ones.

So for you lovely eating clean ladies can you give me a day of what you would normally eat? bfast lunch and dinner 

southernheart88 --- 11 years ago -

i love that book ! it really helped me, but i dont follow all the advice it gives.

Remember that losing weight is a lifestyle change, so make sure you really want it and are willing to stay devoted to your changes.

For me, either an egg white omelet loaded with tomatoes, peppers, onions, mushroom, (any veg really) or steel cut oatmeal with fruit and yogurt. Morning snack I usually go for fruit; banana or apple and a serving a raw almonds. Lunch I stick to a green salad with lemon juice or some deli meat. I prefer a light lunch or I get slow in the afternoon. For afternoon snack I stick to carrots and hummus or celery and peanut butter. Dinner is a lean meat; chicken, salmon(my fave) or bison(CPHG is right!), brown rice or sweet potato, and a huge serving of vegetables. When I do dinner, I try to make half my plate veggies, 1/4 carb, and 1/4 protein. 

CamPen Hooters Girl --- 11 years ago -

I eat a 1/2 cup of steel cut rolled oats every morning no less than 30 minutes after I wake up.

Mid-monring snack is 1/2 cup of nuts, mostly almonds and a piece of fruit.

Lunch is usually a med sized chicken breast and some veggies.

Afternoon snack is usually a banana.

Dinner is either chicken, fish or bison with some more veggies.

I drink lots of water. ALL THE TIME. 2% milk. Very little juice because of the sugar content. 

SoonToBeJD --- 11 years ago -

Water and green tea are my drinks of choice. I've also been tossing a coconut water in there when I'm feeling like I need a boost. 

LaLa --- 11 years ago -

how long did it take for you guys to see results and feel them? 

CamPen Hooters Girl --- 11 years ago -

A week to ten days I guess. I felt the looseness in my clothes first before I saw anything in the mirror. 

LaLa --- 11 years ago -

Thats good. I might get the book about it. I just get so bored of the same veggies. i love fruit though :) 

HavingaBOY --- 11 years ago -

When I lost 30lbs I had coffee for breakfast, usually with oatmeal. Fruit for a snack, salad for lunch with any type of grilled chicken salmon or shrimp, and then any Kind of soup I wanted for dinner.

It's my plan for after the baby to drop the weight before the hubby comes home!

I lost 17 lbs in a month eating microwave burritos and pizza flavored easy mac (i miss that flavor) 4 meals a day mix and match one each per meal. 

MommaNanny --- 11 years ago -

I am doing the body by vi 90 day challenge. It is healthy andi feel full all day. I have already lost 4 pounds in 7 days.

I'm a vegetarian and I don't really have set meals, I eat several times throughout the day, but here are some things I eat.

Breakfast: Oatmeal with sliced fruit, pumpkin granola with almond milk, occasionally muffins, just depends.

Lunch/dinner: I come up with meals based on trial and error. I eat a lot of wraps (ex: homemade falafels with hummus, lettuce, and a dressing on wheat tortillas; grilled burritos with hummus, avocado, and a bit of cheese also on a wheat tortilla), I make pizzas using naan bread, hummus, sauted mushrooms, and whatever else I have. I eat a lot of hummus and avocados because they're both delicious. Mini pizzas using black beans, pineapple slices, and a bit of cheese on wheat pitas are also good. Of course I also eat salads but I prefer coming up with other meals.

Snacks: Nuts, sunflower seeds, trail mix, fresh veggies with a dip, fruit, granola, etc.

Drinks: Almond milk, water, occasionally coffee

I think overall, it's important to eat primarily foods you make at home, cut out convenience meals and fast food, limit going to restaurants, and cut out sodas and other sugary drinks.

Do you make your naan homemade?
