The journey has been a challenging but fun one so far. The wife and I have lost 47 so far (collectively)! I've been challenged by making low-cal substitutions.

I thought if we all list our top 5 low-cal/healthy ingredients or snacks that have helped us most on our journey, we can all learn a little something.

I'll begin:
1) Greek Yogurt
2) Zucchini Pasta
3) Olive Oil Spray
4) Air Popped Popcorn
5) PB2

    More so of a condiment list. I like to cook very basic, and really spice up my meals with condiments/spices.

    1. Almond Milk
    2. Soy Sauce
    3. Ginger
    4. Walden Farms Products ( all of which are 0 calories)
    5. Stevia

    avocado (using this instead of other condiments)
    unsweetened almond milk
    bananas (which I mash into a lot of things)
    salsa - adding a little to plain veggies to make them palatable

    Oh, and spray on butter - very helpful
