honestly i still eat everything i did before but i limit it. i did add more water to my day which was little to none at first and i also excercise more. i think u should still be able to eat what u want but adding new foods is good as well

I want to try Quinoa. I've never made it.....wouldn't know what to do with it....but am going to try it.

It takes a bit to cook, but it's very versatile. 2 of my favorite, yet very different recipes are:
1) Serving it separated and cold in a salad with arugula and goat cheese, maybe some pine nuts too
2) cooking it hot with almond milk to serve as a substiture for oatmeal. Serve with cinnamon and honey, or add slivered almonds or walnuts, or bananas for more texture.

Overall, I'm eating less. Also, the proportion of protein has gone way up and the proportion of grains has gone way down. More meat, yogurt, less wheat and rice.

Chia seeds, greek yogurt, almond milk

Before this site I was always looking to cut certain foods for diets sake; cakes, cookies, ice cream, alcohol, pasta, breads etc.

Now I eat more food and all the stuff I thought I had to cut out (in moderation of course), even Quinoa!

Lifting heavy things has freed me from food restrictions.

Greek Yogurt! Doesn't taste terrible, LOADED w protein, low fat ..... Perfect food??

Same here, Oikos 0% Fat Greek Yogurt, Plain. Tasted real bad but I'm starting to acquire a taste for it. Never thought I'd be THAT guy, sitting there eating a yogurt or even a salad outside of a side meal or something. A Salad was not something I would have thought I'd eat as a meal either (Spinach Chicken salad, no dressing)

believe it or not...Carbs. I had no idea that most of the stuff I detest (other than bread which I knew about) was high in carbs. The first week I was on MFP just tracking calories, I couldn't believe how low I was on the carb macro. I always laugh when people say if you give up carbs you'll lose weight quickly when I know all you have to do is make up for it in the overage of some other calories and you won't have to worry about that I still don't eat bread or pasta much but I have found some beans and certain fruits that I meticulously add to my diet for both fiber and carbohydrates. Works wonders for the way I feel.

Nut butters of all types. I like all of them. I find I like the non-peanut ones even better, and I like peanut butter. Plus, they help me feel satisfied.

Full-fat goat's milk yogurt. I don't like regular cow's milk yogurt, regular or greek. Can't stand the tangy taste of the plain yogurt, need to cover it up with a lot of sweetener of some kind. But the goat's milk yogurt I buy is smooth, creamy, and mild. Very slight tang in the plain yogurt, I can eat it without any sweetener at all. I do prefer a touch of sweet added to it, but even the fruit on the bottom version is too much. I'd rather add my own (or buy the vanilla, which is about perfect).

I've started making my own yogurt with an Easiyo maker. I don't think I realised how much calcium and protein is in a healthy yogurt before starting on here, and as I only have 180ml skimmed milk in my oats each day, I was a bit worried about the lack of calcium in my diet. Must admit, I LOVE IT! I have the low fat greek, or the natural unsweetened and add fruit or crumbled Bel vita breakfast biscuit on it and it tastes delicious!

I love Easiyo yoghurt! But I've stopped making it - I was used to their standard Greek version which was delicious and I don't like the low-fat versions so much. I would make the standard Greek one and just use less, but I'd end up throwing so much away. Or worse, being tempted to eat it all!

habaneros, ghost peppers- on my list
but probably has little to do with weight loss.

red meats, and Greek yogurt. im still not really a fan of red meats- i only eat them because my husband hates fish. though i did find i LOVE greek yogurt. the honey flavored one is so yummy and great for breakfast for me.
