What is a food that you eat nearly everyday that you know without it you would not succed on your diet??

For me its Progresso Low Sodium Tomato Parmesan Soup. 1 cup = 80 calories.

I try to eat one cup for lunch and another for dinner....very low in calories, and soooooo delicious!

    I have a couple...

    1) Spritzer salad dressings (my salads were totaling in calories almost as much as a greasy McDonalds meal when I used regular salad dressing)

    2) White Cheddar Rice Cakes- it's a great side for lunches & tastes better then popcorn! (I crunch mine up and eat it like popcorn)

    3) Special K Cracker Chips- great when you want something salty instead of going for a bag of chips

    4) No Sugar Added Fudgesicles- only 40 calories & fixes any chocolate cravings

    5) Oranges- only 69 calories in a whole orange & amazingly filling

    Personally, I have been eating breakfast/ lunch incredibly light/ low calorie (under 500 calories for both meals combined) so that I can eat a normal meal. I could never be on a diet that told me "NO, you can NEVER have that again" There are certain foods I just love to much :p I don't mind being super strict all day and rewarding myself and night.

    Cottage cheese. I am so addicted. With just a little drizzle of honey, it is soooo good. Or plain after a good workout. With strawberries for desert.

    The food that have helped me loss weight:


    - Odwalla Original Superfood juice (190 calories [that is for 12 oz. not 8oz.])

    - Naked Juice: Green Machine (140 calories)

    - Boars head low sodium deli meat (60 calories for the turkey and chicken)

    - Chobani Greek Yogurt (120 calories; but that is for the vanilla)

    - Flatouts (100 calories a pop [and they are big])

    - Eggs (forgot the cals on this one)

    - Oatmeal (170 calories)

    - Carbonated Water (when I need something with bubbles!) [and of course 0 caloreis]

    Etc.


    The foods I gave up that helped me loss weight:

    - Bread

    - chips

    - cereal

    - Soda (once and a while doesn't hurt)

    Etc.

    Basically I started eating more unprocessed food and unprocessed carbs (like fruit). And gave most of the processed stuff. But try some of the good foods I listed. They are delicious!!!! I hope I helped in some way :)

    Keep Calm and Carry On,
    Anna :D

    Greek Yogurt and Fruits! Yuummm

    and Gum! My biggest eating issue isn't that I love food, it's that I feel I need to always keep my mouth busy. :)

    YES!! If you are a tomato lover!! It has such great chunks in it. I never get bored of it. And since I started eating a cup for lunch and dinner I've lost about 3 lbs. from just that. Which leaves me plenty of room for snack calories which I love! I highly recommend it!

    Slim Fast Meal Shakes...I tend to get busy and dont have a lot of time for lunch. These are great because they fill me up and keep from hitting the drive thru at Jack In The Box! lol I also have to have Crystal Light. I dont drink soda or fruit juice so water and fat free milk get a little old. There are sooo many yummy flavors of CL to choose from. And if I need something "bubbly" I just add in a bit of carbonated water.

    Greek yogurt
    Popcorn (making my own butterless or some smart pop kettle corn if I'm at work)

    The greek yogurt fills me up, the popcorn gives me my crunch, unsweetened tea is just my zen time.
