I'm the same way, and the first time I tried to do this I messed it up and gave up after a few days because the foods I thought I had to eat weren't my faves. This time I eat what I want but I watch portions. In 10 days I've lost about 8 pounds and I ate an Arby's medium roast beef sandwich, and some burritos from taco…

Try bars from diets that focus on 0 carbs, like Atkins, South Beach. Or you can try Slim Fast, some are yummy. I like Balance but idk carbs on it.

I keep seeing people post about INSANITY....but I have no idea what it is....can someone elighten me?

sounds good!

I like to mix it up...some ideas.... Oatmeal with peanut butter/jelly....3/4 oz smuckers peanut butter, 1 oz kraft grape jelly, 1 cup of oatmeal = 352 calories...can add more jelly for a more sweet taste Oatmeal with peanut butter/honey....3/4 oz smuckers peanut butter, kraft honey-1 packet = 387 calories Thomas bagel…

You do need some carbs, because the brain requires glucose to function properly. I understand the pain of giving up chocolate.....lol

.....or use non-fat or skim milk which have fewer calories. I tried a new breakfast this am....a serving of oatmeal with a tablespoon of peanut butter and 2 tsp of jelly, and it ws pretty good and kept me full.

I agree....especially when it comes to the really yummy ones. Try ones that are higher in fiber or protein. One member mentioned All Bran, I like Special K with chocolate pieces. Or along with your cereal eat an egg or two. The protein will help keep you fuller longer. Just a thought. :)

what about peaches or strawberries? I haven't seen the recipe from Hungry Girl, but those might work.

I've read in several fitness magazines that if you hit a wall, add weights. Strength exercises burn calories even after you're done working out. Good Luck!
