Check out the recipe forums on here.
Also, sites like eatingwell.com, skinnytaste.com, budgetbites.com, allrecipes.com and Pinterest are good resources.0 -
You lose weight through a consistent calorie deficit, people have individual preferences when it comes to food, a varied diet is the healthiest, and home cooked food is almost always healthier than readymade.
So eat whatever you like, but less.4 -
Cooking Light is another good site.
Just look for ways to tweak your favorite meals. Learning new habits will help you for maintenance too.1 -

Good tasting food and weight loss can be an oxymoron. It can certainly make your wt loss endeavor harder than necessary.
With that said, there are days (in the week) where I seek out good, tasty foods and other days I avoid them.0 -

Sorry have to beg to differ here, I don't eat anything I don't enjoy and the weight is coming off just fine. Moderation and ingredient tweaking make it pretty easy to make good tasting food meet your calorie goal. Otherwise what's the point - I want to lose weight and keep it off, not be eating cardboard and give up a couple of weeks/months down the line.4 -
For breakfast I scramble 2 eggs and throw in chopped up onion and bell peppers, and season with pepper and oregano. So easy and filling!
Avocados, Apple slices with peanut butter, cherry tomatoes, and a slice of whole wheat bread are good snacks. Pineapple is delicious!
Dr Rhonda Patrick has a really cool free podcast called "Found My Fitness"-- she specializes in nutrition and is super informative!0 -

No way...I cook all kinds of deliciousness, primarily from whole food ingredients...healthy doesn't mean bland or boring. Just the other night I made this really awesome one pot Tuscan white fish recipe...packed with deliciousness and served it with a beautiful garden salad my wife through together.
I fail to see how making food that tastes good makes things harder...it makes things much easier IMO.1 -
Everything I make, serve my family and eat is tasty. I just don't eat as much now.1

I'll answer this post but it's the same line of reasoning for the others who replied to my post.
It's very subjective or different standards. Simply put, if you could moderate (hold off the eating) your food just aren't tasty enough!
I don't eat cardboard. I eat the kind of food that's bland (or tasty) enough that makes my reducing effortless. For example, I do not like to get tasty pizza, which I can eat for all meals, everyday and then struggle to eat only 2 slices. Doing so is contradicting to me.0
