HEALTHY

So I decided that I really need to cut out the JUNK food (it's pretty much ALL I eat) and I want to start eating healthier!
I would also like to start cooking a little more...so I was wondering if you girls could give me some healthy food tips or recipes because I'm just BLANK!!!!

THANKS!!!

I just lost 30lbs and what i did was take tons of walking, upped my whole grain intake, oatmeal for breakfast, upped my fruits and veggies and cut out badly fried things. I try to eat every couple of hours to boost my metabolism and also drink tons of water. Things high in fiber seem to make a difference for me. I indulge every now and then and I feel that is important so I don't feel deprived.

Re: HEALTHY

Thats good for you!!!!!!!!! I cut down on fast food completely and soda. Try granola bars, yogurt, fruit as a snack, instead of chips, drink water, and eat your veggies

Re: HEALTHY

Try some Health Magazines for some good ideas. You can even try the food pyramid web site just to start out.

Good for you!! Eat lots of fruits and veggies...enjoy the in-season produce. Drink TONS of water. Exercise. Eat only when you're hungry. Cut back on 'liquid calories'.

I have lost 10 pounds from eating a lot of ceral. I eat it for breakfast and dinner usually. I don't like to cook and cereal is easy, healthy and quick

Note: I eat Special K and Fiber One... I don't think you would get the same results from Lucky Charms!

What kind of stuff would you eat in between?

Also, anything you make with red meat, try substituing turkey or chicken, especially for ground meat. You would never know the difference and there is WAY less fat and cholesterol! And use part skim or low fat cheese instead of regular
