    At least more people appreciate this thread than not!! LOL!!! People should not judge others on how they lose weight. Everyone is different. If you want to eat "clean" then do it w/o judging others.....I eat splenda, processed food along with "clean" food.....and you know what? I have kept over a 110 lb weightloss off for 4 yrs now.....so I don't want to hear ANY JUDGEMENT!!! :tongue:

    Hi
    Thanks for posting :smile: - some of the stuff is not available in Australia, but it gives us ideas of different things to snack on without killing our calorie target!

    I used to make up low-cal jellies, about 11 calories and then put ONE teaspoon of cream on it - the cream ran all over, and made it taste really nice, for only one teaspoon of cream it was about 20 calories. I might try getting some of the canned whipped cream, that might be a nice treat as well, altho that wouldn't run all over the jelly ....

    Celery with a tiny bit of peanut peaste - about half a tablespoon of peanut paste is 60 cals, plus celery which is harely anything. Great for crunch, sweetness, taste, vitamins, all good mate!

    Rice crackers - about a dozen of them is about 100 calories, depending on brand.

    100g of low fat cottage cheese, lots of black pepper, with celery (if you have any left after the peanut butter :laugh: )

    I have a drink machine at work and had a can of Pepsi Max the other day - made a nice change - variety is the spice of life!

    Speaking of spice - try a couple of dried chilli flakes in green tea - nice "zip" (and I mean a couple of flakes, not a lot!)

    sunrice multi grain thin rice cakes 38 cal each
    miso soup (varies depending on if you have it plain or with tofu) but generally about 14 cal per cup and as it is its soy is really good for women
    Apples about 70 to 80 calories
    egg whites (hard boiled eggs with yolk removed and fill the center with a bit of ricotta cheese and chives)

    Almond Breeze Unsweetened vanilla almond milk - only 40 calories per cup and tastes very good.

    Mott's Healthy Harvest No Added Sugar Granny Smith Applesauce - 50 calories per cup, very tasty.

    Klondike makes 100 calorie ice cream sandwiches and chocolate bars.

    For those who like breakfast syrup, Smuckers has a low-calorie, sugar-free syrup that's like 20 calories per 1/4th cup and it doesn't taste bad at all.


    I wish I could go straight from maxing out on cookies and cake and pie and ice cream to a completely junk-free diet, but I think it's ok to change gradually.

    Yep, good list until #9. Diet -anything that has any "sweetened chemicals" (splenda, saccharin, equal) actually makes you hungrier. It's almost as bad as drinking the sugary stuff. If you HAVE to have your diet drink, look for something with stevia in it.
    Stevia is no different than any other "sweetened chemical." If you think Stevia is good, then all of them are good. Likewise, if you think the rest are bad, then stevia is equally bad.

    Stevia is just an artificial sweetener made from a leaf, that's been soaked in chemical solutions to extract a sweet compound and then ground into a powder. Not much different than how Splenda is made, just a different chemical used for soaking (Stevia uses methanol, a chemical, that, when ingested in high amounts on its own, can cause blindness and death. Did I do the scare mongering part right?)

    You can use the leaf by itself too. Float a leaf in your tea / coffee or dry it and grind it up.

    Miracle noodles also called yam noodles. 40 cal for two servings. I rinse them then pan dry them in hot skillet, helps with the texture and the smell. Works great with laughing cow cheese but not so well with marinaras.. Great to have tho!

    There should be lists of low calorie foods that includes REAL FOOD, not processed crap manufactured somewhere to be passed off as food.

    That is what is wrong with this world. Too lazy to purchase, prepare REAL FOOD

    they sell the "miracle noodles" in the same place they sell tofu in the grocery store. Shiritaki noodles are good! Yum!

    HOLY CRAP!!!!

    If I ate like that I'd NEVER get to my TDEE of 2350 calories!
    ...

    + a dozen or so other similar remarks.


    What is with all the negative comments?

    Do you guys really think that people are ONLY going to eat the food on this list? Of course they aren't.

    It's just a list of some not so obvious foods that people have found useful when dieting because they allow you to consume bulk without going over the calorie limit. I, for one, found a couple of things on there that I never knew about before. So I'll take what I like from it, leave the rest, and thank the OP kindly for the info.

    Well i'm new here and i have to say i'm a bit shocked how dismissive people are of other peoples methods/ choices. The OP has done a useful post suggesting some foods to eat alongside your normal diet and people are just being unnecessarily rude.

    I hope the whole forum isnt like this

    To add my (processed and full of sugar suggestion) meringue nests are only 50cals each

    Someone with a realistic outlook^

    Not once did I claim that this didn't contain processed food, jeez. As the above person has mentioned (thanks) I do not expect, nor do I advise, anyone to eat only the things on this list. Bottom line, I made this list to help people out. If you don't agree with it, fine. Everyone has there own way of dieting. But you don't have to be so disrespectful. I respect and don't criticise anyone else's way. You're not going to be a happy person if you constantly see the negatives In everything.
    I'm only 18 but feel so much more mature than some of the critical people who have commented on this...

    Thanks for sharing. I would like to add something Dr. Oz showed on his show.

    In the morning, add 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar to a glass of cold water and drink up. :drinker: It gives a metabolic boost of up to 30% for the day and will give you an automatic avg. weight loss of 6 pounds per year by just doing this.

    How has nobody commented on OP's clearly pro-ana tumblr (morbid-bones.tumblr.com) or noted the fact that she's 5'4.5 and trying to get down to 100 lbs? Girl, I'm concerned about you :/
