I like to put cottage cheese on some bread, sprinkle cinamon and
toast. It gets all hot and gooey.

I will try this for a snack later! Thanks

Alien, do you count cal? I like the menu that you sent here and I'm
kind
of 'watching' for a better change for me. I need to be more satisfied
than I've been . As time goes by I get a little side-tracked as I am
NOT
hungry but just seem to 'need' more OR differant foods. I like the
kashi
cereal with fresh fruit for breakfast and I think that I'll try the two
bread sandwhich today. (MAYBE) I'm knd of thinking I need LESS carbs so
I may leave out the one slice bread. I have a FRESH tomato that looks
pretty tempting today I guess my lunch will be something with tomato
..
Maybe tuna would be good with it. Off to my job with a good lunch. i
mentioned tomato and it 'stuck' in my mind until I put one into the
lunch bag today They are yummy this time of year!

Have a great day everyone!!

I counted cals in the beginning. It helped me learn how to eat more while
staying within a certain limit. Now I just eat normal? and always have
snacks. I never go back for seconds either! I added almost everything
back into my diet. I still stay away from proccessed white flour products
and regular sugar. Other than that I eat pretty much anything I want.
**portion control** IT seems to be working pretty good. I am holding
steady withing a 5 pound range without as much as a second thought. I
still measure and weigh my foods though. As to make sure I am getting a
perfect serving. Oh yeah, some sort of exercise daily. Every day. Adding
carbs and whole grains in moderate amounts back into my diet hasnt
effected my cravings or weight in any way. I for the most part stay full
longer and have more energy. If I truly crave something I will eat 1
portion. I am the type of person that if I faught of cravings 365 days a
year I will wind of going on a big binge that will lead to God only knows
what. If I crave cookies I get a recipe and see how I can make a healthy?
cookie. And as long as it tastes good to me. That is what counts. I have
been known to throw some pretty strange cookies together. lol. You can
make wonderful snacks with whole grain oats/whole grain flour/splenda/fat
free plain yogurt/fruit. Oatmeal apple cookies are great! I know that
some do not like splenda or any sweetner. BUT it doesnt affect my
cravings or weight in anyway to I will continue to use it in a moderate
fashion. I like to read when people give recipes they make up
themselves. I will try almost anything once.

PS. I also tend to eat most of my food on the lower end of the glycemic
index! This helps alot. I have also been experimenting with the effects
of apple cider vinegar in lowering the gi value of high gi foods. It does
SEEM to keep my blood sugar from spiking and cravings at bay after eating
things like bananas and the occaional breaded chinese or white pasta.
Which I eat very rarely and sparingly. I hope any of this is
informational. Nice talking to yall again!

This post is making me hungry for a meatloaf sandwich. I just might have
to
break my rule about cooking and make some this weekend. They don't serve

Don't you find it's difficult to know what you are putting into your
body if you don't do your own cooking, though? I know I would; when
I'm actively trying to lose weight the very first thing to go is
take-aways, ready meals and eating out.


I don't find it difficult at all. I eat the majority of my meals away from
home and have for several years. I traveled a lot for my previous employer
and I don't especially like to cook so I eat out.

Eating out doesn't mean you can't eat healthy. Broiled or baked chicken and
fish, steamed vegetables, fresh fruit, salads, etc are all available at
restaurants. I probably eat better in restaurants than I would fixing meals
at home. I don't like to cook and wouldn't take the time to prepare too
much. Most restaurants have the nutritional value of their food available
so it's no different than reading the food labels on items at home. The
nutritional value of beef, fish and poultry remains the same regardless of
where it's prepared. Restaurants are always willing to tell you how it's
prepared so you don't have any hidden calories from butter, etc.

If you could get meatloaf in a restaurant, couldn't you order a helping
and then take it home - they don't seem to mind people doing that in
American restaurants.

Yes I could do this but not too many restaurants offer meatloaf. Those that
do have it on their menu often smother it in gravy. I don't care for gravy.

Every now and again I will treat myself to a 1/2 cup serving of sugar
free vanilla ice cream. So I see no harm in this at all.
