Last time I went I brought snacks for three of us. I brought 3 100 calorie popcorn bags, a container of rasberries, and a chocolate bar with expresso chips, nuts, etc... At the end of the day each person had around 400 calories (depending on how much chocolate they ate. The best thing is nobody felt deprived. If you are…

I would go for a souvlaki or a chicken souvlaki with some greens and tzaziki for dipping.

I did look at your diary and I noticed something- you do not eat enough fat. I only mention this because I noticed the same thing about myself when I started and once I upped my fat intake I lost weight really easily. Add some avocado, oil, butter or meats and cheeses with more fat.

Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. Repeat.

I have been with my current boyfriend for a little over a year now and when I started dating him my diet completely changed. I started eating much more red meat, using more butter. Occasionally we split a bacon cheeseburger (yes you heard that split) or go out for a nice thin crust pizza. We always get desser and…

I hated the coconut water too- but now I crave it. Pure coconut water nothing added. If you can't stomach it try eating a banana. It is more about being hydrated in general- not drinking a ton in one day before class. Lots of people get headaches at first- stick with it though and you will be pleasantly surprised. Good…

My favorites are: Black Beans, Greek Yogurt, Salsa, Avocado in a Whole Wheat Tortilla Hummus, Avocado, Sprouts, Spinach in a Whole Wheat Tortilla or Whole Wheat Pita I usually buy the ingredients and then just eat the same thing alternating for that week You can get all these ingredients plus some fresh fruit for under $20…

I love Fage 0% Plain Greek Yogurt with blueberries, mango and a drizzle of honey. Under 200 Flatbreads with Light Cream Cheese & Smoked Salmon Under 200 Breakfast Picnic (an ounce of strong good quality cheese, and egg, some fruit and a few crackers) About 250 Not low carb per se but I love Mcann's Irish Oatmeal with…

Bikram girl here! Been going for about 3 years. When you first get into it, it is best to go at least 3 times a week. This actually makes it easier. It takes about 3 months of doing the class 3 times a week for your body to get adjusted to the class. You will def lose weight, but more importantly your whole body will…

Maybe try to find an outdoor activity that you could enjoy with the fam. When I go to my parents house I always go for an nice hike/run in the woods to burn some of the calories I know I will be eating .In the winter there is this great indoor pool we got to. Once when I got home, I entered my calories and noticed that I…

Baby Arugula with olive oil and fresh lemon juice 3 oz Shrimp 1/4 of an avocado So yummy and so healthy

Try a natural dieretic. And I mean natural. Cranberry Juice - can aid in removal of excess fluid retention Apple cider vinegar - exhibits natural diuretic properties and maintains potassium levels Nettle - has natural diuretic properties that facilitate good cleansing Dandelion leaf tea - aids in detoxification and helps…

Intersting, I don't think everyone's body reacts the same to alcohol. When I drink it, it makes me bloated and makes me feel heavier. Plus it makes me make bad food choices. While I do not beleive in cutting out any food group I know for a fact that I gain the most weight when the extra calories I consume are from sugar-…

It is something you will always have to deal with- whether it be roomates, children, etc... Healthy food does not have to be expensive. Example. For breakfast today I had egg whites with sauteeed red peppers and black beans. Could not have cost me more than 50 cents. I eat things that taste good so I do not feel deprived.…

I second Barilla Plus, it even looks like regular pasta.

:) I am the opposite, if I have food at home I eat it and then get all screwed up because I don't have enough for lunch. I bring in 5 pieces of fruit so I won't eat more than one cause then I won't have fruit one day. It helps that i have a huge fridge at the office and there are only two of us. I like the oatmeal idea, it…

I buy ingredients and eat the same thing all week. I usually have a hard boiled egg, Greek yogurt with honey and granola, a piece of fruit, maybe some almonds ( I buy enough one servings for 5 days) and then I add my lunch. This week is was whole wheat pita with tomato sauce and fresh mozz. Sometimes it is a wrap with…

Pizza! Whole wheat pita (150 calories), tomatoe sauce (20 calories), 1 ounce fresh hand pulled mozz (100 clories) and an orange (55 calories) Lemon ginger tea. Total calories= 325

I have done a 3 day juice fast and it was awesome. The one thing I had to do was wean myself off coffee because you are not supposed to have coffee during the fast since it can make you feel worsse. My friend did it with me and she cheated a little and had a much harder time than I did. I think the point is if you allow…

Thomas whole grain 100 calories English muffin, tomatoe sauce, goat cheese or fresh mozz. About 225 calories. Side of sauteed spinach or salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. 1/2 cup of berries

I see you have changed you profile so it no longer says that you are pro anerexia and bulimia. Hope that is because you changed your mind, not because you thought you were being attacked. Seriously though, how can you really expect people to take a question about negative calories seriously from a person who states that.

The original poster, her profile says she is pro aneroxia/bulimia. Therefore her question can't really be taken seriously in my opinion.

Not to be rude, but your profile says you are pro-anorexia/bulimia and what you are doing is pretty much that.

Not to burst your bubbles guys but a vodka soda is not 60 calories. It is between 60 and 70 calories per ounce. A mixed drink has at least 1.5 ounces if not more. Think of it as 100 calories a drink. I always have vodka soda or wine.

I eat the single serving Fage yogurt's with honey and granola or toasted almonds. It is really high in protein, all natural and delicious.

I have never done this cleanse but I have done a juice fast, best thing I ever did for myself. Whether people agree with it is one thing, I felt great during and afterwards and supplied my body with alot of nutrients. The added benefite is that when the fast was over I lost some of my emotional connection to food. Anyway I…

Get a lean steak- like a filet minon. When you consider the calories in those sauces (which are probably full of butter) the steak is probably the lower calorie option anyway.

I love salad with black beans, hot sauce and Fage (thick greek yogurt) Salads with avocado, canneloni beans and seeds

I love nachos! I could eat them every day. I buy corn tortillas and cut them into triangles and bake them until crisp. Then I add black beans, avocado, tomatoes, jalepenos and Fage Greek Yogurt. I just like the crunch the hot and the cooling of the yogurt. I actually prefer these to bar nachos, they make me feel satisfied…

I make myself a little "picnic" and eat it when I get to work. Hardboiled egg (80) Ounce of really good quality blue cheeese (100) 5 Carr's Table Crakers (70) Some berris or grapes (50) 300 calories. Since I used really potent stinky blue cheese a little is all you need and the high fat content keeps me satisfied.
