If you have protein (fish, meat, or poultry), a starch, and vegetables, everybody can eat the same thing and you just put less starch and/or more veg on your plate.

Here's a good site for recipes: http://foodgawker.com/post/category/vegetables/

OK SandiF, I need a do-over on my last response to you. I first thought you were serious and then playing now realize you were serious.

My bad!

What do you think about muscle weight gain? Not to say make youself into a bodybuildrr but just trying to build up some muscle if there is an issue. Kickboxing maybe?

Re: Healthy Eating Support Thread

great thread...i am currently in a culinary war with my mother who insists on cooking rich jamaican meals...while i love them i really would prefer to indulge only on the weekends...but all during the week? she made cheesecake on sunday night

it has been hard to lose the weight with my mother around but so far i have slowly lost about 25 pounds...i was wearing a 14-16 now i am down to a 12...my goal size is 6 but i will be satisfied with an 8

for breakfast i had a skinny omlette and ginger tea sweetened with splenda...will have a slice of orange mid morning...for lunch i will have yoplait light yogurt with an apple...dinner is grilled chicken breast salad.

Thanks, Kia. I had a lovely bday - saw Mr Vegas and Jah Cure in concert the day before. (They are very sexy in real life. ) Then at work, my team treated me to champagne and the most decadent chocolate cake in the world ever! </div></div>

oohh decadent chocolate from the land of chocolate. The best cup of hot chocolate I ever had was at a chocolate place &quot;madame something or the other&quot; on Isle de Cite.

Re: Healthy Eating Support Thread

Perfect menu would be a low glycemic and vegan or pescatarian for now

Perfect breakfast - Irish Steel Cut oatmeal gently simmered for 30 mins with molasses
with a cup of coffee

Snack; - 1 cup of greek yoghurt and a small apple

Lunch:- Green salad with Tuna and a glass of almond milk

Snack: 1 orange and some cashews
Dinner: Baby bok choy seasoned with hoisin sauce, brown rice and firm tofu


edited to add: I really like Milo's menu but as I have to feed others it is a challenge. but most of all I like the high protein powder before bed. .. I can easily fit that in

Re: Healthy Eating Support Thread

Tulip - My body type is very lean. More muscle less body fat. I've long past the days of amateur body building and was heavily into muay thai kickboxing for past 3 yrs. Have always been into physical fitness. My only problem is with running and less eating I have been losing more weight than needed or think I should.
