Foods to Avoid?
I'm starting on a little diet here and I'm wondering if you all can
help me out. I've got pretty bad eating habits. I drink lots of carbonated drinks (Coke/Pepsi), eat lots of sandwiches (bread) and eat lots of pasta. So I've already started to cut down on everything, but I need help identifying which foods are bad. I'm more or less trying the low carb diet. I'm trying to cut out the bread (I only eat whole wheat anyway) and the pasta. But because I'm so used to eating bread and pastas, I don't know what else to eat. I know fruits and veggies are good as well as meat, but what else can I get for a little variety. Like tonight for example, I had a small steak and some boiled broccoli and cauliflower. Is that good? The thing is I know I'll probably be hungry after my walk tonight, but I don't know what to eat that late that is light. Should dairy foods be avoided all together? I looked at my mini-wheats cereal and it looks like there's a load of carbs in that. Can you guys give me some examples of good food to eat so I don't get bored with this too fast? Also, what should really be avoided? Thanks. |

Suggestion #2 - try searching the internet for low carb recipes. There are tons of fantastic meal ideas out there. Suggestion #3 - read more posts here, they can be very helpful. You might also want to look for the FAQ and Saffire's weekly tips. -- Spring LC since 1/1/04 260/208/170 http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/spr...=/55b8&.src=ph Size: 24W / 14 / 10 |

You're doing the right thing. Grains, potatoes, things like that are good
to avoid. Just as an anecdote, I was watching on the History Channel the history of the cattle industry in the US. Being a Texan, I was naturally interested in that. At one point, they mentioned that ranchers would feed the cattle grain to fatten them up. I think that works with people, too. My diet primarily consists of meat, fish, eggs, cheese, and certain vegetables, just as spinach, broccoli, green beans, cauliflower, and so on. I take vitamin supplements and also sugar-free Metamucil for the fiber content, since I lost my "regularity" after I started this. This is just the path I've found in my lifestyle change. Everyone is different, and your path might be completely different. Hang in there, there is no direct recipe for a low-carb lifestyle, For instance, I never eat past 8pm. I have promised myself that if I really need something to eat later, it will be a can of soup, usually cream of chicken, and then if I'm STILL hungry, I can have whatever I want. I've only had the soup maybe a half-dozen times, and never wanted anything after that. It's mostly about whatever works for you. |

Eat some celery, a boiled egg, a tablespoon of nut butter (no sugar added), a small piece of cheese, etc. Or have a very small salad, piece of chicken breast, a few nuts (be careful with nuts), etc. |
