Suggestions, please :D

I know Fruits and nuts are good and yogurt parfaits.

Sometimes when you find you are having trouble changing your diet you may want to first start just changing portion sizes. Smaller sizes of the foods you already eat will help more then you realize. You can still eat pasta and pizza, just you can only have one slice of pizza instead of 3 like you used too. Or a small fry instead of a large. Just need to figure out what works for you. Remember this is a lifestyle change you can't force yourself to do something if it won't stick. ^.^

Anytime, we have all been there. I live a busy life a full time worker and college student. I don't have time to prepare meals. So most of my meals are fast foods so I get the debate of trying to juggle eating healthy when all you want is junk food out of vending machines or drive thru's. It is something that you just need to learn to curb and order smarting. If you log everything you start to see what you are order, and start to order smarter. This website has helped me alot. I have lost 20 pds in the past year. I wish you all the luck in the world.

I also found that the special K protein shakes are amazing. They taste just like chocolate milk. I can't tell the difference.

Do you like eggs? there are alot of things you can do with eggs! What bout oatmeal? there are alot of yummy flavored oatmeals out there!!! What bout protein shakes as a meal replacement? you can get chocolate flavored in them. I have weined myself off of junk food before and stopped craving it. As long as I stay away from it I am fine.

I know you said you don't like chicken but have you tried the Jennie-O turkey products? They are really good.

Hunger Pangs
Posted on the Wheat Belly Blog December 4, 2011 by Dr. Davis

"Eliminate modern high-yield semi-dwarf Triticum aestivum (wheat) . . . and what is the effect on appetite?

A reduction in appetite is among the most common and profound experiences resulting from wheat elimination. If you read the comments left here and in the Wheat Belly Facebook page, you will be struck with how many people experience this phenomenon. I know that I have felt it: Wake up in the morning, little interest in breakfast for several hours. Lunch? Maybe I’ll have a few bites of something. Dinner . . . well, I’d like to exercise first.

The wheatless report that:

–Appetite diminishes to the point where you can’t remember whether you’ve eaten or not. It is not uncommon to miss a meal, perfectly content. Calorie intake drops by 400 calories per day, on average, calories you otherwise would not have needed but all went to . . . you know where.
–Hunger feels different: It’s not the gnawing, rumbling hunger that plagues you every 2 hours. In its place, you will find that hunger feels like a soft reminder that, gee, maybe it’s time to have something to eat because you haven’t had anything in–what?–4 to 6 hours. And it’s a subtle reminder, not a desperate hunt that makes you knock people aside at the food bar, steal coworkers’ lunches stored in the refrigerator, salivating at the mere thought of food.
–The simplest foods satisfy–It no longer requires an all-you-can-eat buffet to satisfy, but a few small pieces of healthy food. (Yeah, but what happens to revenues at Kraft, Nabisco, and Kelloggs, not to mention the revenues at agribusiness giants ADM and Monsanto? Slash consumption by, say, 30%, you likewise slash revenues by 30%. What would shareholders say?)
–Even prolonged periods of not eating, i.e., fasting, is endured with ease.

Hunger and the relentless search for something to eat disappear for most people. By eliminating the appetite-stimulating properties of wheat, we return to a natural state of eating for sustenance, to satisfy physiologic need. We are no longer victims of this incredibly powerful appetite-stimulant called gliadin from wheat.

This is why many diets fail: They fail to remove this powerful appetite stimulant. You might eat only lean meats, limit your calories, and exercise 90 minutes per day, but as long as the gliadin protein is pushing your appetite button, you will want to eat more or you will have to mount monumental willpower to resist it.

So the key is to remove the gliadin protein from your life, i.e., eliminate all things wheat."

I know it woks. I've lost 145 pounds in the past 21 months. Give it a try.

No, I don't like eggs or oatmeal...haha I'm telling you guys, I'm not sure how I am going to diet being that I don't like many foods.

Rather than list what you don't like, could you list what you DO like?

1. Eat what you like, within the calorie, carb, fat & protein goals that the site sets for you.

2. Avoid advice from anyone telling you not to eat any particular type of food. :grumble:

3. :flowerforyou:

^ And this is very good advice.

i think you have to control calories to start with.

but you do have to challenge yourself and eat something that you don't necessarily want to every day. if you don't eat vegies and whole foods, your health will suffer. processed foods are never going to improve your health.

sometimes you just have to force yourself to eat things because you know they are good for you. it's almost it's like the child in you just refuses to eat any of that stuff, so you have to challenge your mind and learn to eat stuff that is good for you.

start out, by forcing yourself to eat a couple of bites of something healthy that you don't like at the start of each meal. once you've had your "challenge food" then eat the rest of your meal and make it hit the calorie goal. it's only a couple of bites. eventually you'll get over your learned ways.
