Ok........ TODAY starts a new day - I am going to watch everything I eat.

Re: I need diet help
You know what may help you.....I think it helps, and if you have time/patience...Start by writing down everything that you eat. I feel that if you are very disciplined, you can then evaluate what is good and not good, and then work from there. Everyone is different but I do believe that eating small portions every 3-4 hours is good, just veggies and fruits. Stay away from sugar, drink lots of water. Make sure you have egg whites in the morning. Eat raw almonds, or nuts - nothing with salt, etc.
You get the gist, I'm sure you probably already knew this, but that's what I try to do. And I friggin do the Insanity DVD's...that works.

ITA! I started recording what I ate on www.thedailyplate.com and it really helped me.
Also, cutting out sugary drinks made me drop lbs. like crazy!

Re: I need diet help
My new favorite breakfast is either a Fiber 1 Pop tart and a small fruit salad or apple cinnamon rice cakes with low fat peanut butter and a cut up banana on top. The rice cakes are so freaking good and they keep you filled up till lunch.

Re: I need diet help
a lot of greek food is not terribly unhealthy.. maybe try cutting out the cheese.. (i know soo hard right.. i love feta salads..but I order w/o the feta) and sauce on the side.. and always use whole wheat pitas! Weight Watchers snacks are really yummy and you feel like your eating dessert and not killing yourself! Lots of water too!

Re: I need diet help
buy this book... 'the abs diet' it will put you on the right track. you need to eat 6 times a day. and certain food groups together. I did it a long time ago, because i found out i had high cholestrol. i dropped my cholestrol, and i lost weight and got leaner at the same time.

Re: I need diet help
The thing that works best for me is just to cut out processed foods. (Including all white sugar and artificial sweetener). So whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, beans, veggies.
I feel 100% better and a lot less hungry all the time.

Re: I need diet help
I didn't really change WHAT i ate, just changed how much of it i ate. That way, i could still enjoy food and not dread going out with my friends or whatnot.
every time i eat now, i measure exactly one serving and only eat that! After doing this, I realized that I was eating 2 or 3 servings of cereal every morning (for a whopping total of 300 calories!) ....
Good luck

Re: I need diet help
Definitely try and keep track of calories. I am someone who exercises alot and always watches but never really saw results. I was told to try and count my calories per day and try to keep them around 1200 or under and I lost 6 lbs in 3 weeks. Also, I recently started eating cottage cheese which I always hated but I have it for lunch and it fills me up and its high in protein. For dinner, i try to limit my carb intake as much as possible! HTH!

Re: I need diet help
I read on yahoo a while ago that if you're trying to drop pounds, you should ingest 19 grams of fiber a day.
1 bowl of kashi cereal, blueberries, and crystal light has this new powder out if you like that stuff called raspberry peach with 5 grams of fiber per pouch you can put in your water when you want something sweet to taste.
it's working for me, lost 8 pounds since I started this routine 3 weeks ago, and i got enough energy to run again.
cutting carbs, cheese (omg i miss cheese i'm gonna go nuts the day of my wedding on the cheese cart).
also substitute coffee for green tea, speeds up the metabolism. i used to hate the taste but i got really used to to, celestial seasons lemon flavor or orange is awesome.

Re: I need diet help
Everything in moderation --
Snack throughout the day so you stay full.
No Fried Foods No High Fat Foods
Almond butter (organic or natural -- no skippy or jif or anything like that) High Fiber Bread Alot of vegetables High Fiber Cereal Fresh Fruit Oatmeal Pancake (packet of high fiber oatmeal mixed with 3 egg whites and a dash of cinnamon. put in microwave for 2 minutes and it makes a pancake. It fills you up all morning) Salad w/ grilled chicken (no dressing...use homemade salsa or pico de gallo instead...yum) Lots of water Weight Watcher fudge ice cream bars for chocolate cravings

Re: I need diet help
1. Food log. 2. Keep up with the water, I know you've already been doing that. 3. OATMEAL. So good for you, so filling. Can eat it so many ways with fruits and cinnamon and stuff. Or just plain.
. . . . . 4. Do you even have a lb or 2 to lose? You have a killer body. I will trade you if you want to lose my weight for me LOL
