Choose the egg & spinach for breakfast, the fat and protein in the eggs and the fiber in the spinach will help keep you fuller longer. Make sure you're adding some protein and fat to each of your meals. Avocado is a good example of fat plus fiber. Hope that helps!

That is a high amount of fiber even if you're not doing Keto. Look at flaxseed, avocado, raspberries, kale/spinach/greens, broccoli... typically 20-30 grams of is recommended for diets around 1400-2000 cals daily. But that would be difficult (impossible?) to do on keto, unless you're eating basically all your carbs from…

You can put tea bags in ice water and they'll flavor it. So something like passion tea will be tangy and tart but no sugar.

Cheezits dipped in cream cheese.

Crockpot - Onions, carrots, sweet potato, mushrooms, Pot Roast, and garlic, salt and pepper, and herbs. If I want it to be stew I'll add a can of diced tomatoes and a cup of stock. (I make this open and pour and let it go meal at least once a week.) I usually pre-cut (or buy pre-cut) veg so for dinner tonight I'll toss…

For soups, etc... I really like Snapware. I just got more I use them all the time: http://www.amazon.com/Snapware-38-Piece-Airtight-Storage-Container/dp/B00EO0RWQ2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1414537429&sr=8-3&keywords=snap+ware I store in portions of 1-2 servings. The previous reply is really good for the patties.

One way to introduce new veggies is through a mild soup, to mute the veg flavor even more chop up a potato and include it when you add the veg: Really easy veggie soup: * Dice 1 Onion & Saute in a Soup pot with a bit of Coconut or Olive oil until translucent * Add a few cloves of minced garlic, stir til fragrant * add…

The best thing that has worked for (and not everyone supports this.) Is first, to not have those foods in the house. And second, to make a no snacking rule. If I'm truly hungry I'll add more food to my meals, but I am a well fed american who doesn't have medical reason that would make it unhealthy for me to stand being…

A few things: Asking myself, "Is being able to eat/drink/be inactive in the habits to which you are accustomed more worth it to you than being physically capably, truly feeling well and being comfortable in your skin?" Connecting with habits in a growth mindset - finding one new thing to add to my abilities until it…

I second the suggestion for swimming, it's an excellent full body, gentle cardio, and light resistance workout. Also you may want to consider a rowing machine.

One idea, that would theoretically be easy depending on your lifestyle is to choose to choose to give up foods that have added sugars for a period of time like 30 days. I have found that after two weeks of crashing I have sustained energy, sleep better, and wake up easier when I eliminate added sugars from my diet. This…

I love it, I'm currently eating Whole30 which is really strict paleo. The pros are that I feel great when I eat that way, I have better moods, I sleep better, I have more energy, I lose weight steadily, and I find it easy to make food choices because basically it's 2 yes or no questions, "Am I hungry?" "Is it paleo?" That…

I'm pretty much doing the same thing, No Alcohol November, sans Thanksgiving. I drink similarly to what you described and I tend to do a "No alcohol" month a few times a year because of that. I say do it, it's a great way to save calories and money, and right before the holidays that second one is pretty convenient! :)…

I eat these items daily:* Eggs * Coconut Oil * Onions But I always have these in the kitchen or on the grocery list: mushrooms, red bell peppers, garlic, broccoli, cabbage, yams, chicken, avocado oil, kale, raspberries, red meat, fish, chicken sausage, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, chicken stock, lara bars, carrots, and of…

This helps me: I choose not to snack. *I plan 3 filling meals a day (You have to be conscientious about not underfeeding yourself.) *Drink water and tea throughout the day *Become comfortable feeling a bit hungry about an hour before a meal I find living like this I lose weight consistently and don't focus on…

This makes me think of Jennifer Garner's recent interview on Ellen http://www.ellentv.com/videos/0-8wxlrm81/

Typically if I consider something to be an unnecessary temptation as opposed to a calorie choice I'm making intentionally it's because it's either a.) not that delicious (ex: cheetos), b.) I've already had some (ex: mashed potatoes), or c.) something widely available that I could have at any time (ex: fast food). Usually I…

Maybe instead of a weight goal you should just make a size 10 your goal? Whether that's 150, 157, or 160?

I have some great recipes that I eat while losing weight, but I'm not sure they are what you are looking for... Is your goal that it is low calorie, low fat, high protein? Is your goal that it prepared healthfully? Is your goal that it tastes good and has a high nutritional value? The salmon suggestion is a good one. Also…

You have one on your signature... I'm assuming you figured it out?

I used to work in an office that brought in the most AMAZING pastries a few times a week. So I started this mantra. "I'm just not going to have that, today. I can get it in the future if I want to." So, just don't get Taco Bell today, you can get it in the future if you want to.

I wouldn't either.

I think you shouldn't try to answer this question until you've done some counseling to see yourself as you truly are. Logically, rationally, and even emotionally from all these opinions on here you could say, "Nope, I'm good!" or, "just 5 more pounds!" But neither would be a genuine reflection of what's right for you or…

Yup! Growing up and through my early 20's I was always 20-30 pounds over weight.... Then in my late 20's I added (gradually) about 50 pounds to that. I can totally relate to not knowing what a goal weight should be. When I was in high school anybody I told my weight too would be shocked, assuming I weighed 15-20 lbs less.…

Thank you for correcting that I almost just had a heart attack about my tracking! (But fair point to the OP too, it's not much food!)

I second the skinnytaste.com suggestion! Also, in terms of quick, do you mean from starting cooking to ending cooking it's fast, or the amount of time YOU have to be involved is fast? For example: I love cooking meatloaf with a side of veg or salad, it's usually 15 minutes total of prep time on my end and then of course…

I would love to join as well! I'm looking to lose 70-80 pounds (30-36 kg).

At least a gallon, but I don't really keep track. I just drink whenever I'm thirsty. I alternate between water and tea... which is basically water...

I genuinely laughed aloud at this one. You sound like my husband. "It's good exercise for her." ha!

What about herbal teas? Celestial Seasonings has some great fruit flavored ones that are on the sweet side. Also I just enjoyed a tazo tea called baked apples and cinnamon. It might be a great hydrating, soothing, sweet craving satisfying option for you. :)
