Deli Meats: Is There a Nutritional Difference between Fresh Cut and Pre-Packaged? Posted By Sequoia On September 26, 2010 @ 1:31 pm In Nutrition | No Comments Deli meats, which are also known as cold cuts, are widely available in all groceries and supermarkets all over the world. Varieties include cooked ham, sausages,…

Let me just add that I do NOT eat: Bacon, Bologna, Hot Dogs, Sausage, Breakfast Sausage, etc... Even though I do love the flavor, smell, mmm...my mouth is watering! Lol :) I know those are not good for you. I don't think that sliced Turkey, Chicken, Roast Beef or Ham are in the same category as the above if they come…

I know that it tastes much healthier than the "prepackaged" deli meat. I LOVE "Boar's Head Ovengold Turkey" each thin slice is 1 ounce.

Thank you!!! :)

I hate those days...what helps me is to force myself out there, go for a long walk ...drink a big bottle of water & I love to read, so losing myself in a good book takes my mind off food.

Wow! You look amazing! Congrats!:smile: I can't wait until I am at my 20lb. loss mark...you inspire me!

I just started working out last week, and I have artthritis so I have to stay away from high impact so I walk briskly 45min., water jogging & swim freestyle laps in my pool and also strength training at Planet Fitness. I mix it up to whatever works with my work schedule but always 5-6 days week.

What a difference! You look AMAZING! Keep it up...you are an inspiration. :flowerforyou:

Welcome! Not from Michigan but I visited before...beautiful State!

Don't give up! I just started 2 wks. ago and although I have lost weight it's just not coming off fast enough for me!

I don't recommend mine & either does MFP It's only 800 calories daily, but Maybe…

Someday clothes...hanging in my closet - all the clothes my husband says "you have a closet FULL of clothes, why don't you ever wear them!" Obviously they don't fit anymore.... I have a beautiful slim fitting top & dress capri's size 8 with the tags still on them just begging to be worn to a Christmas party!!!

That was amazing!!! Thank you. Keeps me going....
