Also - drink water, water, water. I got a lemon and cut slices up and put in my water bottle so that works.
Also - get hooked on soy smoothies - that was good for the evening hunger while watching TV or something. It's like going to DQ all the time and I didn't think I would like soy but it's yummy. In your blender:
1 cup 8th Continent low-fat vanilla soy - I'm just weaning myself off the vanilla and going half regular and half vanilla
1 cup of whatever berries you want - fresh or frozen or 1 banana
add 2T of whey protein powder - low carb one(low sugar) you can get from Suzanne Sommers or I think GNC carries a low-carb one
add 1T of ground flax seed for your Omega 3
1 T Minute Maid frozen OJ with the calcium
and on days you just want the smoothie for lunch - you can add 1 container of the Dannon yougurt that's only 60 calories
throw in some ice cubes
This is about 250 calories with the yogurt or 190 without it added. |
Oh I wanted to add this before i went on... WW is big on high fiber, but they do not say 35 grams everyday or anything like that. Its just kind of pushed that high fiber foods are healthier and more filling!
Oh I have another smoothie recipe too!
I used to take a scoop of chocolate protein powder, 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries, 1/2 cup ice cubes, 1/2 cup water, and 4oz of strawberry, vanilla or chocolate (either) No sugar added ice cream or dannon carb control yogurt! Blend! I had it for breakfast! Its eating ice cream for breakfast!! how great is that?? HAHA (I have an ice cream weakness can you tell??
)
Check out raisin bran cereal its not bad at all and it has 8 grams of fiber! Not many other cereals have that and the serving size is 1 cup vs 3/4 of a cup for most others!
pb & J sandwiches (with a twist of course) are good for you too! No sugar added peanut butter (Teddys makes a good one) Polaners all fruit spread (with the jelly in the food store) and whole wheat high fiber bread. Yummy, sweet and good for you!!
Im trying to thnk of the yummy things I ate when I did this 'nutrition plan' (I got these things from a nutrionist) and I lost 30lbs too! This was 4 years ago, I am trying to drop the 6lbs Ive put back on over 4 years!
I drink Fruit2O water all the time! but yes, water is key! drink drink drink
