Here's what is working for me so far: Cut out refined sugar Limit natural sugar Limit carbs to 100g on non-exercise days/ 125g with 30 minutes of cardio Eat no less then 30g fiber a day Don't drink Diet Coke!! Drink at least a half gallon of water a day 7-9 Servings of VEGETABLES a day Cardio 5-6 days a week…

Sandwich made from: 2 Slices of Franz 45 calorie whole wheat bread Spicy brown mustard 75 g roasted turkey breast 1 slice Kraft 2% sharp cheddar 2 cups of broccoli and a hard boiled egg.

I am allergic to peanuts, so I had never had a nut butter before I tried almond butter. I love it now! $4.99 a jar at Trader Joe's and $5.39 for a much larger jar at Costco. Very cheap for the amount of meals it makes. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

I'm now addicted to Kraft - Sundried Tomato Vin. made with olive oil. I eat this often with fat free feta and a chopped, hard-boiled egg. Delicious!

10/15/09 - 144.5 10/23/09 - 142 as of this morning. (I forgot to post yesterday) 11/26/09 Goal - 138.5 Final Goal - 130 2.5 pounds down.... 3.5 to go.

Personally, I think it depends on the person. A lot of people on here have lost a lot of weight while eating dairy and fruits. For me, It is almost impossible to drop pounds without watching my sugar intake. I limit myself to 26g a day(including vegetables), and a small treat once a week. It was extremely hard to do at…

I just finished making this with regular evaporated milk and Stivia (instead of splenda). It's delicious! Just what I was craving. :)

Feel free to take a look at mine. I log every single thing that I put in my mouth. I eat between 7-9 vegetables a day, I try not to eat fruit very often as I am watching my sugar intake. I alow myself 1,310 calories a day because I have a semi-active job Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Diet Plans

Honestly, I can't lose weight if I eat a lot of sugar. Even if I stay within my calorie/carb range. I try to keep my sugar intake below 26g a day. It was very hard at first, but after awhile, I got used to it. I'm the type of person who can't have only one cookie, I have to eat half the package.. The sugar cravings just…

Thanks everyone for the advice! :happy:

I have been an avid Diet soda drinker for at least 4 years now. It used to be all that I would drink. I couldn't get up in the morning without a cup of it, and I couldn't stay awake in the afternoon without it. I used to substitute diet sodas for water! There was a time in my life where I don't think that I drank a single…

Hunt's No Sugar Added Italian Style Sauce is what I usually use. It comes in a 26oz can and often goes on sale for $1 . I would prefer to make my own..... But this is cheaper, faster and takes up less space then a batch of the homemade stuff (I have 4 roommates) 1/2 C Calories 35 Sodium 580 mg Total Fat 0 g Total Carbs 6 g…

I am a line cook. When I first started dieting, I found it extremely difficult. It took me awhile to get used to practically not eating in the restaurant (I still have to taste my sauces though..). Oh-yeah, and I get a free "family meal" every shift.... which is almost always something I shouldn't be eating. I've started…

I get something similar at work . I'm a cook at a restaurant that gives the staff a free meal when they work a shift. However, I always bring my lunch (something healthy). Everyone always asks "What SPECIAL diet are you on?" It seems to me that there are so many "fad" diets and "lose weight quick" schemes out there, that…

I absolutely love beef. I grew up eating a lot of it, and I crave it all the time . 96/4% Ground beef is awesome for making 4oz burgers. Only 130 calories and 4g fat! Flank steak is another one of my weaknesses

Let the cauliflower boil for about 10-12 minutes or until the stems easily fall…
