    in Healthy food, yet cheap???? Comment by hkied March 2015
  • the first time I did it I lost 20lbs. But it was a lot to remember for the second phase. Since it is expensive I kinda do the same thing minus all the pills I kept the fiber and spark drink and eat what you should just as a way of life. it works out good.no starving!!!!

  • As a preschool teacher, mother of 4 and mom of a 3 almost 4 yr old. I would say it looks like he is eating pretty good things so I would just let him eat those things. Then at dinner or lunch just put something "new" on his plate, a few different times and see if he will try them like 3 peas or small slice of something....…

  • Great yummy salad: Buy a mixed salad with spinach mix, add strawberries, and almond cruch cereal. then if you need something else add turkey, chicken, or even tuna with some feta or blue cheese. I have been eaating this a lot and it is supper filling!

  • crock pots are great but I am into fast... I have a plastic pampered chef bowl (rice cooker) I put it in the micro to make 5 min. rice pour green chili enchilada sauce over it and add the chicken you can buy all ready cut up you just have to warm it. It litterally only takes 10 min. and you have dinner!

  • might sound funny but Mexican food if you double up on the veggies is very healthy, just skip all the grease frying parts. When I lived in Mexico I lost 30 pounds without even trying. Just loaded up on fruits and veggies..... there were NO fast food or supermarkets near bye which helped a lot too.
