Does my butt look big?
I got on the scale and almost hit a big scarry number so I am on a diet..But I love to eat and eat alot out just because. I have to feed mom high calerie high fat food to keep her weight on so I have to cook different for me. I have been on the diet 2 weeks and have lost almost 10 lbs..I know this is too fast but I am NOT starving myself. lots of salads, fresh steamed veggies and broiled chicken. (NO butter or mayo) I have not moved to 100% whole wheat bread but will...

This am I had 1 eng muffin (nothing on it)
1/2 avacado (easter bunny brought and cant let go to waste. but I had to put a 1/2 teasp mayo on it as I cant eat it without..so this am I figure

120 caleries for the E muffin 1 G fat...85 for the avacado and 6 gr fat and 45 for the mayo with 5 gr fat...

Do you have any other ideas for bulky foods that taste good..or a way to spice up that dry baked potato or veggies with out butter?

Mrs. Dash is your friend! I LOVE the original blend on baked potatoes. You can use the spray on 0 calorie "butter" and then sprinkle the Mrs. Dash for a yummy potatoe. They may a variety of flavors. Mrs. Dash Southwestern is awesome on everything I've put it on as well. :yay:

If you want a high fiber, low cal snack food... get an air popped popcorn maker from Target. Spray the zero calorie "butter" on it as it comes out... then you can hit it with old bay for seasoning.

:yeahthat:
...and drink more water. Most people don't have to drastically change their diet much if they just increase their activity/exercise level. Burn more calories than you eat and the weight will come off. :coffee:

Sounds like the ATkins diet to me? Is that what you are doing? Me and wife thinking about it. Quit smoking about a month ago and we have put on the pounds even though I go to gym 4 x a week.

Helpful article...:yay:

Starving yourself after dusk can backfire by sending you desperately scrounging for snacks at midnight.

Late-night snacking should be avoided entirely — it's perhaps the worst culprit when it comes to weight gain. Most of nighttime snacking is simply overeating — eating not out of hunger, but more out of boredom, comfort and habit. And this type of eating can put you at risk for bingeing. A recent report found that binge eating — eating a pint of ice cream and cookies after a full dinner, for example — is the most common eating disorder in the U.S.

Beyond that, eating high fat or sugary foods can also lead to a night-eating hangover, which is similar to a hangover caused by alcohol, but leaves you feeling foggy-brained and moody.

Lots of healthy recipes here.

This one looks good!

TURKEY BURGER

Makes 4 servings

INGREDIENTS
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1/3 cup cheddar cheese, diced
12 oz lean ground turkey
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
2/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2/3 cup salsa (plus more for topping)
1 tbsp canola oil
1 cup green-leaf lettuce (about 4 large leaves)
4 English muffins, split and toasted

PREPARATIONS
In a large bowl, combine egg white, cheese, turkey, salt, kidney beans, breadcrumbs, onion, cilantro, and salsa and mix thoroughly. Divide the mixture and form into 4 patties. Tuck any pieces of cheese into the burgers with your fingertip to prevent scorching. Heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add burgers and cook 6 to 7 minutes per side or until cooked through. Serve on English muffins, accompanied by lettuce and extra salsa (to use as a topping).

Actually, it's not too bad, Usually when you start on a diet, the weight FLIES off of you for the first several weeks. Just keep going like you're going, and you will notice that in a couple weeks it'll level out to about 2 pounds a week, which is a nice healthy weight loss rate.

Spray butter/margarine is 0 calories and 0 fat. Also salt and pepper are good tater enhancements. If you want to try something different, I would suggest trying "Garlic Pepper". It's awesome on potatoes, brocolli, in salads.. I use it all the time.

For salads, they also have spray-dressing. I think that's a calorie freebie as well.



Good luck to you.

Best thing ever is to try not to eat after 8:00 PM, plus lots of water.
