    Spice

    I couldn't be making the progress I'm making without jalapenos, habaneros, and sriracha. Period.

    I was fully expecting a Dune reference. My nerd is showing.

    I see "Chia Seeds" mentioned several times. How are you adding them or what are you adding them to? And do they help you feel full?

    Yes, they are excellent for contributing to feeling full. They can be used just like flax seeds. My primary usage is in my smoothies and protein shakes.

    I eat the same most days and try to stick with that

    Morning: Porridge made with low fat milk with a spoon of weight watchers blackcurrant jam. Cup of decaf tea with low fat milk

    Lunch: A bagel with a low-low triangle or extra light garlic and herb spread, onion, tomato, shredded lettuce, tomato relish and wafer this turkey/chicken. An oxtail cuppasoup

    Dinner: A weight watchers meal, or chicken grilled on the george foreman with piri-piri seasoning, with boiled frozen veg and a thickly mixed cauliflower&broccoli cuppasoup poured over

    Snacks: mini babybel light, muller fat free yoghurts, cheestrings, options belgian hot chocolate, velvet crunch cheese and onion crisps

    xx

    That food sounds awesome.. but you should try and mix it up sometimes so you don't get tired of the same things everyday. :wink:

    *Deep breath* This could be fairly long winded.

    My "essentials":

    Baby Carrots
    Eggs
    Cucumber
    Spinach/Salad mix
    Light Tzatziki dip (Basically if it's a vegetable that's raw, you'll find this along with the veggie)
    Protein Powder
    Clif/Luna Bars
    Light PB
    Tuna
    Tilapia/Salmon/Shrimp
    Sugar Free Jello
    Sugar Free Popsicles
    Spaghetti Squash
    Pasta Sauce
    Ground Turkey.


    *Deep breath out*. See, told you I was gonna be long winded. I snack very, very frequently in small usually 100-200 calorie portions and that's how I stay satisfied usually.

    Surprisingly, baby spinach. I bought a bag to put on sandwiches the first week I started making changes to my diet and exercise, and I've ended up sticking it in everything since then.
