I love to buy the packs of noodles that they have in the refrigerators, they come out so tasty! I also stock up on their sunflower seeds, the red bag is flavored with a brine that makes the seeds taste sweet, and I'm addicted. Also stock up on tofu. All kinds of tofu. Silken tofu for adding into meatballs to give it a…

if you're not against using sweeteners, tofu and stevia also make a super delicious and creamy ice cream. It will need an ice cream maker though since it needs to be churned, but I made a peanut butter ice cream with 1 block of silken tofu, 1/4 cup peanut butter, and a few stevia packets. Just put it all in a blender and…

I love cauliflower as an ingredient. Just made cauliflower mac and cheese the other day. Ingredients: 1/2 head of cauliflower cut into florets 1/2 cup milk 1 cup of cheese Just boil the cauliflower in water first until it gets soft. Then drain out the water, and add in the milk and cheese on medium heat, and move it around…

I always eat ferrero rochers by the layer. Like, I bite off the crunchy chocolate bit, then twist the wafer shell apart, eat the fudgy chocolate and hazelnut inside, then finally eat the wafers. Also, this isn't really weird in my culture, but I've certainly never seen other people do it, but I like to put tofu in my…

I just go with 2 hard boiled eggs. dip in a tiny bit of salt and pepper, and they are very delicious. My other go to breakfast is sliced fruit and cheese. I get to pick out some fancy cheeses at the store so this one's fun. And pairing different fruit flavors means that I get a lot of variety.

Breakfast: 2 hard boiled eggs with some salt and pepper. Lunch: Chicken salad (switch up the dressings and toppings so it doesn't get boring) Snack: Part skim string cheese, turkey meat sticks, apple I do different dinners every night though, so that's hard to do.

Oh boy. I don't have anything to tempt me today, but tomorrow is the company frosty truck coming by. It'll be hard to say no to that but I'm gonna try.

Chicken coconut curry soup with rice. I was gonna make it actually, but I had to go home late, so my hubby made the meal. It turned out delicious!

yuck. mustard all the way Curry.

Just had to become a member about a week ago. I gotta admit, I was a serious doubter of keto before I got diagnosed for high insulin levels. And then a search on the internet revealed that I should be eating a low carb diet to help get it back under control. So... with that, I decided to try doing keto for a little while.…

Scotch eggs. Hot cross buns Mini Meat pies (like a nice Steak and Ale Pie) These recipes can be found online and are generally very good at sitting around for a couple of hours.

I'd have to disagree. Fake sugar isn't horrible when it's paired with other starches, but it's really not good by itself. The fake sugars are not digested, but they will fool your body into thinking there is sugar coming on the way. And then your body starts making insulin when there isn't anything for it to do. Eventually…

I find that chewing gum or brushing your teeth helps. I usually do this right after dinner, or if I'm planning to have dessert, I do it right after that. That way I won't be tempted to have the lingering taste in my mouth to have more than I should.

What kind of munching veggies do you eat? And do you have any condiments that you like to share? I want to eat more, and I currently eat carrots, grape tomatoes and snap peas. But they can get kinda boring and I'm looking for some variety. Thanks.

Breakfast is kinda relative too. I'd say that as long as it's Before 10am, it counts as breakfast. Now I dunno about other people, but I know that when I wake up, I usually feel kinda bloated. And that puts me off eating until it's got time to settle. So I don't really eat until after 9am. And by then I usually think to…

You know, find either brushing your teeth or chewing a piece of minty gum, or eating a mint helps to curb my appetite. Especially the chewing gum. I usually have some lying around the house so that I can have a stick after dinner. It'll trick my body into thinking that I'm still eating and helps it to feel full. If I don't…

If you're not used to running like I am, then I'd suggest the elliptical. I tried to run a while back, and it wasn't my knees that's the problem, it was my hips. For some reason they'd become super sore, and I'd have trouble bending down. This is with stretching too. If I don't stretch, then forget it, I won't be able to…

Make sure to stock up on good nutrition in your food too. Calorie counting is not the only thing to look out for, because right now you also need lots of protein, potassium, and calcium, but low on carbs and fats. Taking a multivitamin may help to get you on the right track. And even if it does hurt to walk, I'd still…

I started this a week ago, but i don't do walking/running, I do the elliptical. Does anyone know if the distance traveled on that thing is accurate? I average at about 700 calories for an hour and it says I've traveled about 5 miles. But it just seems... kinda high? I'm not a good runner, but for some reason I can do the…

Maybe this has to do with dehydration as well. Be sure to stay hydrated throughout your walk. And it may be a good idea to get a heart monitor to make sure you're not over exerting yourself.

I like soups and bread. Granted it takes a little bit of prep before you go to work. I do a big batch on the weekend and freeze it in portions. Then in the morning before work, I'd melt it all down on the stove top and put it in a Thermos. It'll stay hot for hours and usually when I'm eating lunch, I'll just pair it with a…

I go to the gym in the morning before work and pack all my shower/makeup supplies with me. So I end up getting ready for work at the gym. Usually I also bring something simple for my meals. A fruit for breakfast, some nuts/seeds/jerky as a snack, and a salad for lunch. Or, I will take those costco chicken dumplings since…

I average at about 1500 range during the weekdays, but on the weekends, I deviate a bit and can go upwards of 1700-1800 calories. I try not to go above that. Hopefully I can start to lose a bit of weight, I've been maintaining at my current weight for about a month now with no progress. But I've upped my workouts to 5 days…

40 clove garlic chicken and cauliflower aligot is what I'll be having for dinner tonight. So I think it's cheating a little, but my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Well I get that. Usually I just take out the calories from the 1st meal. My husband works night shift as a paramedic and comes home and plonks out like a light. He usually doesn't wake until 1-2pm. So I basically give him two meals, a lunch and dinner. Usually that'll end up being about 1000 kcal or so for the day. He says…

Water/seltzer. I figure since they have no calories or salt, then there's simply no need.

For a healthy person, salt is not that bad. It's not the cause of hypertension and heart diseases. But if you have these conditions, then salt will exacerbate them. Simply drink a lot of water to counter the salt. If you're not sweating it out, you're peeing it out, so it's not that big of a deal. Or if you really want,…

Italian: Spaghetti bolognese (the real stuff that takes a whole day to make) Chinese: spicy peanut sauce and eggplant mash over white rice (I can eat like 3 bowls in one sitting of this alone.) Fruit: Apple Vegetable: Lotus Root (It's so crunchy! and you can bake it to make it turn into chips) Dessert: Mochi Ice Cream…

Breakfast: Apple Lunch: Romaine salad with lite caesar dressing, and 2 oz deli meat and 1oz of deli cheese Snack: Sunflower seeds in the shell 1/2 cup Dinner: 1. Chicken and Orzo with spinach 2. Chicken tikka masala and rice 3. Dongpo Pork Belly (4oz) with bok choy and curry rice 4. Parmesan Tilapia with Cauliflower mash…

I got a small cheap one for like $10, it was the best purchase I've ever made in my kitchen. Not only is it good for portion control, it also helps with making recipes too. I don't have to worry about the metric system anymore! I can measure in grams!
