  • Sodium IS important. You retain waterweight when you have too much of it! I have found, however, that if you complement high sodium intake with more water than usual, you actually (ironically) won't retain as much water because your body will flush it out through the extra water with the salt (sodium) in urine. On days…

  • Go to www.hungry-girl.com and look at her "trio" recipes. All recipes are lo-cal versions of high-cal meals, and they all have only three ingredients each! (You can also buy her new book - 300 under 300 [300 recipes under 300 calories] and there is an entire chapter of "trios".) Most of her other meals are super cheap-o to…

  • Believe it or not, I am on a similar diet as you ... here are some of my favorites that you haven't already listed: - Blackberries! They are also very high-fiber berries like rasperries. And yes, eat lots and lots of pears... - Beans (cooked - especially black beans, which have a particularly high fiber count). - Hummus…

  • I have read in several places that going BELOW 1200 calories is a no-no because you get too few nutrients and it slows down your metabolism, potentially (ironically!). I'm not a doctor but my gut would tell me to consume more than that when you're active, depending on what you're doing for exercise, just so your body…

  • I feel your pain - I joined three days ago because I was only down 7 since January, so I turned to MFP and the results are already amazing (and I FEEL amazing!). Hooray for us go-getters! And kudos for no fad-diets - me either, diets don't work! I still eat what I love, but the diary helps me track it so I don't eat too…

  • Lady Gaga helps me get the most out of my workouts! I really like "Born This Way" and "Bad Romance", but really any of her upbeat songs are great. Also - currently on my iPod Ghosts n' stuff - Deadmau5 I gotta feeling - Black Eyes Peas Don't trust me - 3OH!3 I like it - Enrique Iglesias (feat. Pitbull) Sexy chick - D.…

  • Vitatops! Vitamuffins! see http://www.vitalicious.com and check out the chocolate ones. At 100 calories per muffin top (or 100 calories per deep chocolate muffin) + a dollop of cool whip free = delicious and so worth it!!! They have become my nighttime snack solution for months. Buy them in bulk and you'll get more bang…
