i have avoided many things that are really bad for me, alcohol, chips, sodas, breads, foods too high on starch or with too much sodium. I'm trying to control my eating habits ( it's sooo hard). I'm 6'4. 290lbs. Looking to drop to 260 or 250. Any recipes you can share that make me feel full but don't have too much Carbohydrates, SodIum or something that will be harm?? I also need to drop my Triglycerides, I'm already taking 1000mg of fish oil pills for it.
