if you want to amp up the protein and turn down the carbs, at breakfast with your eggs instead of toast, as you said you eat toast, have a few slices of avacado it's a healthy source of protein and fat. At lunch instead of having your tuna,egg salad or turkey and cheese on bread, put it in between lettuce to cut the carbs.

Try roasting your veggies, they taste much better that way. A little olive oil , what ever spices you like ( I use garlic powder, s&p, onion powder, oregano, rosemary...it depends on the veggie) 375-400 degrees place on cookie sheet turn every 15min till roasted they way you like. I love cauliflower and onion, or eggplant…

I think the best thing we all can do for one another as a group is to listen, to give encouragement and not to judge. We ALL know how we got here, and we ALL know how to make it better, but positive advice is so helpful on our journey. Some days are easy and some days are hard. And hopefully most days we all will do GREAT…

VERY YUMMY.... I really LOVE avocado's, I use them as listed above....in my salads, mashed with tuna instead of mayo and they are great on top of a garden burger, as well as bean or turkey burgers with salsa instead if ketchup. Delish and Nutrish :)
