I am semi new to trying to eat healthier. I have tried before it just has never really stuck.
So, here is what I am looking for:
1.) I need some suggestions on snack replacements. These suggestions cannot break the bank and need to be things that are readily available at grocery stores. Like, I have this thing for chips and french onion dip. So, as a replacement for that, I have come up with apples and peanut butter or trail mix. That is all I have so far.2.) I cannot just throw a whole new way of eating into my diet. I will get overwhelmed, stressed, then quit. Its happened before. I am looking for a few tweaks to my current diet so I can shave off some calories and heart disease. I am not looking for whole meals either. I am looking to cook for my husband and daughter(who were both blessed with a metabolism through the roof) then tweak it to fit my needs. Any replacements for coffee mate creamer (not milk)
drink it black.. or use sugar free torani. (sp?) or unsweetened almond milk.3.) I have been told my plate should be 1/2 veggies, 1/4 protein and 1/4 starches. Can I cut out the starches in my meals (3/4 veggies and 1/4 protein) so I can consume calories in other areas?4.) When I cut calories from my diet to create a caloric deficit should I be hungry? Will I get used to the hunger or not be so hungry all the time?5.) What worked for you in your diet?0
