Hi Im new to this, just started the gym and trying to eat more healthy foods, but not really sure what I should and should not be eating, Ive put my target at losing 2 pounds a week and seem to be staying under my calorie count. Although I am getting a bit sick of eating salads and rivita :laugh: could do with a bit of guidance around healthy eating.

    don't eat fast food.
    don't eat processed junk foods.
    don't dine out at all.
    don't drink more than one alcoholic beverage a day (red wine is best 5oz glass)

    if it tastes good spit it out, it will make you fat! well, we know that isn't exactly true...but some days i feel like it is!

    Thanks for the advice everyone. I understand what your on about skinnymoo, I feel like if it tastes nice I can't eat it :sad: Its hard not to dine out aswel, cause I love the 'eat all you can' curry houses that are littered all round me, but I suppose thats where will power comes into play. Hopefully if I just keep plodding along, Il get there eventually.

    It's not all bad, you could try lean meats (turkey, chicken breasts, fish), just have it with salad or veggies instead of chips. And vanilla ice cream is my personal life saver!!! :happy:
