*Baby Carrots and low fat ranch or hummus
*Roasted Broccoli
*This Green Giant Cinnamon sugar squash
*Olive oii versus butter on popcorn



I still love the bad foods, but these things make it much easier to deal with it.

    How fantastic I feel when I:

    drink enough water
    watch my sodium intake
    eat whole/fresh foods
    watch my sugar intake
    lift weights / do yoga / do pilates


    How good "real" food tastes, once I got the bad habits out of my system...

    :happy:

    As annoying as it is at times - having my husband not able to leave my butt alone when I get up and walk around the house! ;)

    But, you are talking about food - I guess I have been clinging to fruits for their sweetness! cherries, apples, oranges, peaches, and bananas have become part of my daily diet!

    The taste of real food. I love anything I cook from scratch. I'm getting excited about making broad bean style humus tomorrow (is that silly?)

    Salad, specifically lettuce, i just never even bothered with this before when I had it as a side along w/ some main course, now it's a big part of my main meal and tastes even better w/ some nice dressing eg. salad cream (low fat obv!)

    I even found myself tucking into a bunch of grapes tonight, 3 months ago it would've been some form of 1200+ calorie takeaway

    I've always loved fresh fruit and veg, but my love affair with fresh food is intensifying.

    Smaller amounts of low fat dairy. Less greasy everything.

    Also, I have discovered a local bakery that make the best bread for lunchtime toasties!

    Greek yogurt and mango sprinkled with wheat germ
    oatmeal pancakes with peanut butter and banana or apple
    fruit and/or heart of palm tossed into a green salad
    tabouli salad
    my elliptical trainer and knowing that if I want a glass of wine I better get on it for at least 10 minutes
    laughing cow cheeses
    eating a ton and still losing (seriously - my diary is public, take a peek! I very rarely go over on my calories and have been eating all day long!)
    I could go on ;)

    I don't really have a list of foods, because I haven't really changed what I eat. I just watch portion sizes and my overall calories. I do adore wearing smaller pants and climbing mountains without getting out of breath. :-)

    Nothing that I "learned" to love.. But I discovered (and love) goji berries, chia seeds, cacao beans and lots of super foods and raw stuff through changing my lifestyle. :)

    Steel cut oats for breakfast. I used to get really bored with oatmeal or oat bran but I could eat these for dessert.

    Wheat products! I can hardly stomach white flour tortillas anymore.

    I LOVE All Bran cereal. I know, its disgusting. But there's just something about it... keeps me full forever!

    Fresh or frozen vegetables, I can't even look at canned vegetables without feeling disgusted at the thought of their mushiness. Whole grain breads, white bread feels like cotton in my mouth now. Also learning that a sub from subway tastes just as good without cheese and mayo.
