thanks a bunch!!0

Just took a picture of this blog with my phone so I have these notes with me. Never heard of the sour cream alternate before but can't wait to try. That one alone would help me out so much - oh and I love the greek yogurt idea too!! Yum! Thanks!!!0

Just watched that too0

Those are great tips.thanks for passing it along:)0

That's not a list of eating the foods that I like with less calories, that's a list of eating different foods.
I like butter, switching that out for jam may save calories, but doesn't help me "eat food I like with less calories," not to mention, adds a ton of sugar.
There's one easy way to eat food you like with less calories. Eat a smaller portion. Done. Simple.0 -
Thanks for sharing. I will try some of the suggestions ASAP!0

im glad somone was smart enough to write that all down. i was mad at myself for not doing so. Thanks for passing it along0

Interesting. I love the pizza tips! Although I find the skimming grease off the top a bit sketchy. 100 calories off of a slice? That just seems too good to be true Will still do it anyway, it must save some.0

I agree with substituting and making smarter choices! there's a way to diet without restricting so much of the things you enjoy i.e. pizza and chips+dip (mm salsa!).0

Bump. Great post!0

You can replace the foods you like with very similar ones and save a ton of calories! One example is the spray oil/dressing: same deliciousness but less amount of it, hence less calories (and you can cover more food with less!)0

thank you for the awsome tips.0

Nice list. Thank you!0

what is this flax seed in water thing? do i just add the seeds to water and chug?0

I don't think you can make meatloaf with 1/3 of it celery. I don't think it will hold together, and even if it did, it would be very different in texture and flavor.
Save the same calories by using leaner meats!0 -
