If this is a duplicate, please accept my apologies.

I weigh 184 and am 5'7". I need to lose twenty pounds and I cannot
exercise because I'm in a wheelchair.

What is your daily calorie intake and what do you eat to keep your taste
buds interested when you've cut back on food or calories?

I eat All Bran with skim milk in the AM and at least two apples a day. I
drink four or five glasses of water a day, some decaf tea and two
Metamucil cocktails. I also take several B-Complex vitamins. I ran into
some 90 calorie "garden burgers" and 230 frozen dinners. I hardly ever
use salt. Sometime I have half a sub from Subway. A dietician said that
is OK.

I stopped chocolate and ice cream months ago. Fat free pudding and fruit
are my dessert, if I have any.

Do you eat soy burgers or other soy products? I can make them taste good,
if I add a little low-cal salsa or other spicy stuff.

Ideas welcome. Thanks


You should have AT LEAST 6 glasses (eight ounces each) of water per day.
Check out the government food pyramid for calories requirements and
nutritional requirements. They list recommendations for losing as well as
maintaining weight. If this is too confusing, joint Weight Watchers and
follow their points system.

There's a huge variety of fruits and vegetables available and these should
be your mainstay. If you want to avoid sodium, use fresh or frozen ones or
read the labels very carefully to find the no sodium added kind.
