Taco salad

Blackened seasoning on grouper or mahi mahi, Lemon herb seasoning on red snapper or any whitefish, cornmeal breading ( very light) on fried catfish. I could go on & on since my son-in-law is from Texas, I come home loaded up with fish & shrimp!!

Any way you can come up with! Easy peel - add some baking soda to your water when boiling. Start in cold water, bring to a boil, turn off heat, let sit on burner for 5 min., drain & add ice water, cool. Peels come right off.

Try using dry cream of wheat instead of breadcrumbs. About 3 Tbsp. per pound of meat. That's only 24 carbs. This was how my mother always made meatloaf so of course so do I. ( and I get raves) Also cut down or totally omit ketchup(all sugar) and moisten with a little milk.

I mix strong coffee, a little fat free coffee creamer (any flavor) and maybe a little choc. syrup for mocha. Pour into molds & freeze. Refreshing & super low-cal.

My go-to is Jello pudding (sugar fee, fat-free) made with unsweetened almond milk. Topped with a dollop of lite cool whip. A teaspoon of granola on top if you want a little crunch. I will also make a shake with 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 Tbsp. PB powder, 1 Tbsp. honey and 1 tsp. carob powder. Add some ice and blend…

Love this recipe, but I use fresh tomatoes instead of canned when in season. Just chop fresh tomatoes and roast with the olive oil. I also cut down on the oil. ROASTED TOMATO SOUP Ingredients 1 (14-ounce) can chopped tomatoes 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 stalk celery, diced 1 small…

Fresh Basil, oregano & italian flatleaf parsley. Fiesta brand lemon and herb seasoning is great on almost anything.
-
This sounds amazing. Going to try it. I'm not a big lover of spinach. OK to leave it out or cut down?

Try some of the little dry gravy packets.Just add water and they are fat-free and almost no cal. Chicken,pork,or beef.

I mix lite cream cheese with a little dry ranch dip mix. Use with celery, green pepper, radishes, carrots etc. Also string cheese, nuts. Old Wisconsin turkey sausage bites. Just found sun-dried tomato snacks. I don't tend to eat a lot when I snack, so a little goes a long way.
-
That's why you have to rinse them well with cold water then drop into boiling water for 3 minutes. Takes care of the prob.
-
Cathy, it is. Eats almost like chili. Next time I'm going to add some beans, and maybe a little chili powder.
-
Just made this yesterday. It was great.
-
Wow. My favorite meal. Thanks!
-
I have the same problem. I can't add carbs so I use protein to get the cal. up. I puts me a little over on the protein, but I consider it a good trade. Even with that I'm still usually 100-200 short. I need ideas too.

It's true about the thyroid. I'm 69 and have been on thyroid meds. since my 20s. Talked to my new Dr. about my weight and told her I have never blamed my thyroid problem because I have always been on meds. You know what? The meds do not take care of everything the natural gland does, so yes I can blame some of it on that.…

Hi Lisa. I also started today. Have about 50# to lose. Switched from W.W. on my Drs. suggestion. She said "do the math". This site makes it pretty easy. Happy to start this journey with you! Good luck.
