I have 2 go-to recipes. Go to the hungry girl website- they have HG's Exploding Chicken Taquitos. But on the same category, I make chicken tacos. I wish I knew how to show you the picture because it is delish! Fresh Mex Chicken Tacos (serves about 5 people, 2 tacos per person) 4 chicken breasts, cut into cubes 1/4-1/2…

Thanks for the input, I think I will try it and if it helps with hunger I'm sure it will be worth it...

Some good tips on here.... Here's what I pull together: can of black beans can of corn diced tomato avocado slices I work up my container of beans & corn and put all of these items on a tortilla and add a sprinkle of cheese. One of my faves!

I understand the HCG is a controversial diet but I did it myself and it was a lifesaver. Is it the best choice? Probably not. But I tried the healthy ways of losing weight and there was always something blocking me from success. I had given up. This diet has taught me a lot about myself, and about food. I have been able to…

Where do you get the Optimum Nutrition shake mixes? I've heard a lot of good things about it but I can't find them at the grocery store...

I have no idea how to cook artichokes but I've had them in my salad before and they are a yummy little addition! How the heck do you cook these things?!

Awesome- thank you!

Thanks for the input. That would be cool if the health stores sell them in individual packets. I didn't want to waste money on something I wouldn't like. I think I will try that first. Thanks for the help!!

My lower calorie beverages include: rum/vodka & diet coke, flavored vodka & soda water, and white wine. If I'm feeling frisky (and I often am) I shoot straight liquor like tequila or jager. Better than beer and it doesn't take as much for a good buzz! Try drinking water between drinks also.

Zucchini Lasagna (225 calories per serving) Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

First of all YUM! Thanks for posting. How do you post/insert pictures?

I'd say if you are losing inches, that is what counts. I think I didn't notice my clothing feeling different until I lost 15 lbs. Just keep pushing yourself. I'm sure you're doing fine- just think about it- LOSING 10 lbs is not easy! Keep up the good work and don't get discouraged. If you lose another 10 you will be glad…

Funny I had the same cravings so I came up with my own recipes, just switching things around to make them healthier. I don't know if they will every be classified as HEALTHY though. :D MY chicken salad sandwich 10 oz canned chicken breast (in water) 1 stock celery, finely chopped 1-2 stock green onions, finely chopped 4 T…

You have some amazing recipes. I do eat with my eyes though- so it would be great to see pics of your recipes! Thanks!

So I am a vet assistant, which I know is a whole different category than people, but I will share what I know. This is a highly effective supplement for joint pain. No known side effects. As far as the frequency, I understood that it is best given twice daily. So if it says 3 tablets daily with food, I would do 2 tabs at…

I looked at the original photo and it looks amazing! Can't wait to make this!

Actually yes. And for the same reasons as you. I know when I go to a bar we drink a ton and eat bar food. Nothing good about those calories!

When I get hungry, I get cranky FOR SURE! It's either time to eat or I need to take a nap. I think this is normal for many people, it affects our hormones and so many things when our bodies are telling us to eat.

Yes it's in the database- it will just ask you to be specific about these items, such as brands/labels and you have to know how much of each you put in.

Can you tell me how many oz's for 1 "jar" of salsa? We basically buy JUGS of salsa @ my house! Can you tell we love mexican food?

Good question and even better answers! Thanks everyone!

Those all sound amazing- I have to try the cauliflower pizza TONIGHT! :D

Ideally, if you already have the protein taken care of, you should do some kind of vegetable. I LOOOVE sauteed mushrooms or sauteed zucchini. Anytime I saute veggies I use low sodium, low fat chicken broth. And I usually add some fresh minced garlic and sprinkle it with some garlic salt. I'm getting hungry just THINKING…

I've actually been eating homemade chicken tacos lately and I agree I LOVE THEM! I do use black beans instead of refried beans, so that's another option. I would forgo the sour cream. They are still super yummy. I didn't add salsa to mine, which if I had homemade salsa I SO would have! Instead I put cilantro on it and if…

You can also use Miracle Whip, but I go VERY light on the mayo. If I need it to be a thinner/less chunky consistency, I add a little water.

I also have a recipe called "Chicken Bake Roma" and this stuff is delicious. You can also make it into a burrito if you'd like. 3 lbs chicken breast (skinless, boneless), cut into 8 pieces 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper 3 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch chunks (about 4 cups) 2-3 cups halved mushrooms 1…

If you like Egg Salad, I've been making a "healthier" version and instead of bread (I'm low-cal) I make Egg Salad Lettuce Wraps.
