Ok Ladies, I Need Reciepes for Fit Foods!

Getting fancy isn't necessary. Use olive oil in your cooking. Don't fry. Make sure you balance proteins, carbs and fats. Watch portions. One chicken breast is enough, even for a man. Snack on fruit, vegies, but don't be too strict. You can cheat once in awhile. We love our
protein shakes for a snack. we use rice or soy milk and fruit to mix in with the protein. here is a link to the protein: http://www.shaklee.net/healinghappens/product/20665
Good Luck and You Go Girl!

I too am a cancer survivor and know just what you mean about living a healthy life. Try calorieking.com It is $75 for the year and it will let you log everything you eat and break it down for you. It also provides recipies with the break down and there are support blogs. Its been the best $75 I have ever spent. Its like having my own personal nutrionist without paying a huge price. Keep up the good work and good luck!

My favorite recipes come from Tosca Reno of the Eat Clean Diet. It involves work to shop and cook, but everything I've tried from her tastes great and is very filling!

Diet after diet after diet ... I've finally decided to make my own weight loss plan and that's by cutting out any and all processed foods (and that includes breads, pastas, and definitely junk food).

I am eating steel-cut oats for breakfast instead of cold cereal. I am eating real meats instead of deli cold cuts. I am upping my veggies and fruits, eating rice and potatoes, snacking on almonds during the day, and drinking lots of water. I am also giving up artificial sweeteners and anything that contains "sugar" (and all its forms) and "flour" in the ingredients.

I've been doing this for 3 days now and so far, feel great. I'm not a believer of cutting out carbs, just cutting out the junk ones. I am also a diet Coke addict and I think my biggest challenge will be giving that up for good (wish me luck -- LOL). And of course, watching portions is a must on any weight loss plan.

Good luck to you! And enjoy your motorcycles :o)

I started eating gluten and sugar free and have cut down alot on my dairy. I buy alot of my stuff in the organic section of Kroger, I don't do everything organic. I use soy milk, eat fruits for snacks or these gluten free ranch crackers that I have fallen absolutely in love with. It's not near as hard as I thought it would be it's a little bit more expensive but I think it's worth it.
