Healthiest Foods that taste Good

[JayBee74]

Although I've lost 7 pounds(in 10 days) on a base "Turkey Pastrami" diet, that includes two turkey salami sandwiches on regular bread, 2 Yoplait regular (sugar contained)yogurts, and a bowl of "Bear Naked" low sugar cereal, I have found that the turkey pastrami is loaded with sodium and cholesterol, so starting Monday I'm going with another "base" food for my diet. Ant suggestions besides tuna fish?

Chicken Breast is probably the best way to go. There are so many dishes that you can make with it that it never gets old. Its very lean and has lots of protein.

Soy nuts are unreal, I pound through those things. They are a bit fatty but are a great source for protein.

Truth!!!!

I've lost 30 pounds since Thanksgiving and my base is mostly chicken breast without skin, usually flavored with garlic herbs and tons of vegetables with fruit being my sweet tooth satisfier (i'm partial to kiwis and oranges). As for snacks, I like to snack on tuna in water, pickles, olives, and sardines in water.

Here is my webpage that chronicles my weight loss (great for tracking food and exercise, tons of recipes on there too and best of all it's free)

And you can see everything I eat (I eat whatever I want on Saturdays so it's not a good day to view if you're looking for healthier fare) here:

Re: Healthiest Foods that taste Good

Almonds are a healthy snack food. Fruits are also great... I prefer apples, but most fruits and vegetables are great.

The un-healthiest "junk" food I eat is trail mix, which isn't terribly unhealthy, but is something I'd like to stop eating. My family keeps buying it though.

Generally, I'm very disciplined in what I eat. Oatmeal and a glass of juice for breakfast. Lunch is a (real) peanut-butter and banana sandwhich, a yogurt, two Nature Valley granola bars, and a cup of Dole mixed fruit. Supper is the only meal that varies depending on what's being cooked/prepared.

Generally, I think people eat far more than they need to. I tend to eat less, and in a sense, have trained my stomach to be comfortable with this. I'm by no means overweight; I just think it feels good to be healthy and life a healthy lifestyle.

Having a big, healthy breakfast is critical to curbing hunger. Since most Americans skip it that is why they are hungry all the damned time.

I hate not having cash. I was about to join the gym but I'm paying off debt. Although I'm down about 10 pounds because I can't afford to grocery shop. I GM a Jimmy John's sub shop so I generally eat a sub and that's it for the day. Although on the weekends I don't work so I usually hit up Wendy's or McD's for a meal each day. I may be losing muscle but nothing makes me happier then the scale hitting a lower number.

I've heard a theory that giving yourself cheat days is not good because you are keeping your desire for those foods alive.

I've heard a theory that giving yourself cheat days is not good because you are keeping your desire for those foods alive.

But if you're losing weight and eating healthier I don't think it's that big of a deal to have a treat every now and then.
