  • I have only made it this far with the recipes off of skinnytaste.com. I can figure out what to have for brekfast and lunch fine but dinners were a challenge. It is not easy to find things that will work into my plan and my children who don't like "healthy" food will eat. We have made many of the recipes on her web site and they all have been very good. They are delicious and low calorie. I also do not like to cook and all the recipes are very easy and usually can be made quickly. Our favorites are the Turkey Taco Lettuce Wraps and the Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili. Worth trying as they are healthy but you will be happy with how good they are.
  • Think about it this way. If all you ate was twinkies but stayed under your calorie goal do you think you'd still lose weight?

    I looked at your diary and you don't get the nutrients you need in a day so yes, it will eventually affect your weight loss.

    You eat pizza for breakfast... cookies for breakfast... etc. Not a very healthy diet even if it's under your daily calorie goal.

    Where I am those 100 calorie packages of cookies are $3 for a six pack that seems to last you two days. For that same $3 you can buy 3 heads of lettuce that would make at least six meal sized salads. For that same $3 you can buy a bag of apples that will last a week. For that same $3 you can buy a package of eggs. For that same $3 you can buy bread, buns, bagels, etc.

    When you actually sit down to think of it on a per serving basis healthy food isn't all that expensive. Invest in some spices to make things taste better if you don't like the taste of things how they are.

    You may lose weight but you sure aren't going to be healthy by looking at what you are eating daily.
