Help what do i eat?

I find its more of portion and finding the best ways to make things you like, it will be easier to stick to, I am having hamburgers and doritos for dinner tonight

If you want nice skin go with salmon, chicken, walnut, almond, blueberries, broccoli, cantolope, flax seed meal, brown rice, plain yogurt, cucumbers, peppers, apples.....

Or you can just lose by eating what your used to. Just enter it all in the food diary at the beginning of the day (or the night before) to figure out what kind of portion sizes will keep you in your goal range.

I considered myself picky, but I've been trying lots of new foods since I started eating healthier and I realized there was absolutely no basis for my pickiness! I love seafood now, I tried several white fish (cod, tilapia and mahi mahi), I love crab and shrimp, etc. I eat portobello mushrooms, bananas, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, hummus, guacamole. All foods I refused to touch until this year... and they're SOOOO tasty!

So aside from finding healthy foods that you do like, be adventurous and trying some new healthy foods. I think you'll be surprised what you end up liking. And it means you have lots more options.

More info please. If you're picky I do not know that any of our suggestions will apply. But I like string cheese, almonds, chex mix, raw baby carrots, vita top muffin tops, light yogurt, ALL fruit, peanut butter on crackers or pretzels, etc... Good luck!

I completely agree with this. The change in my diet has mostly been a change of portion.
Last night I had chili and cornbread.

That's exactly what I"m having for dinner, turkey burger and all. Except, we're crunching the shells and turning it into a taco salad :-)

For the most part, I've noticed that I can anything I want as long as I control how much I eat. I'm definitely able to get full on less food now. :-)

Good luck with your weight loss!

If you love soda, one good option my husband likes is mixing diet lemon-lime or cream sodas(which he ordinarily despises) with a zippy fruit juice like grape, cranberry, orange, or pomegranite (get the ones that are 100% sugar free or 100% juice). Use 1/2 a can of soda for 1/2 cup of juice to total an 8oz glass. People usually say it's better to go for whole fruit than juice, but the simple fact is that when compared with soda 100% juice mixes are 10 times better. Additionally, fruit juice usually isn't carbonated, and if you are a soda addict, you will need to wean yourself off that gradually. Doing this helped my spouse to go from around 14-20 cans of sugary pop to around 3-5 in a day. When he tried to just drop the soda or just switch entirely to diet, it didn't work. The diet didn't work because he's in an active job and he actually needs something with calories in it--a break is enough for a drink OR a snack, but not both. He tried drinking sports drinks, but honestly beyond being un-carbonated those are usually worse than soda. Another good option is iced tea and coffee (with a no-calorie sweetener and no milk / cream). There are also vitamin waters and diet drinks like crystal light, which is 5 calories / serving, or 10 calories per packet. Basically crystal light is like the koolaid you had as a kid, only with no sugar. Some of them have added vitamins, and some are caffeinated. It comes in lots of fruit and tea flavors. I'm personally a big fan of that, but then I've never really been a soda addict anyway. My problem was too much tea and coffee, and high calorie cofee drinks. The health professionals say "just drink water" but hey, many places the water tastes awful or is full of unhealthy chemicals and metals. As far as the snacks, try buying your junk food in those 100 calorie packets, and having 1-2 a day only (in total, not for each kind of snack). Try this for a couple of months to get yourself used to smaller portion sizes before you try buying in bulk again. Also try going for baked, reduced sugar, no sugar, or low-fat versions. If you like the taste, you just saved yourself some free calories without giving up your snack.
