Thanks and sure but this may take me a while LOL ..... So I think most of my weight loss or at least some of it had to do with the fact that I stopped drinking pop, I used to drink 2 cans of pepsi a day, pasta...and basically I would skip breakfast like most people do and eat large quantities of non nutritional foods!
So here are examples of what I eat (I will give several examples for each meal time) :
Lots of water, 4-5 591 ml bottles a day
Breakfast: -almond butter with ezekiel toast
-oatmeal (non sugary packaged stuff)
-eggs
-greek yogurt
**sometimes I will change it up, you have to or else you will get bored. So I will have a slice of ezekiel toast with one egg etc...***
Snack: -1 cup of berries
-apple
Lunch: -Tuna sandwich, low fat mayonnaise, ezekiel bread
-2 oz of chicken (skinless, boneless) in multi grain moon wrap
-Salad with 2 oz. of chicken, just a glaze of italian dressing or
homemade dressing.
** I try to incorporate lots of lettuce in with my sandwiches etc..***
Snack: -Large salad with cucumbers, glaze of dressing * as mentioned above
-2 tblsp Hummus with multigrain crackers
-120 gr of crab meat
-Small serving Greek Yogurt (I refrain from overly sugary yogurts)
-22 gr of mixed nuts (almonds, pecans, hazelnuts)
-Carrots or celery
-Large spinach salad
Dinner: ***Always consist of 3-4 oz. of meat, 1/2 cup of grain, 2-3 cups of veggies, depending on the veggie***
-Pork, hamburger, chicken, fish..**all meats are lean**
-Quiona, bulgur wheat, brown rice, sweet potatoes
-Asparagus, broccoli, frozen kale, spinach, romaine lettuce, spagetti
squash, carrots.
Half my plate is all veggies, and the other "quarter's" are the meat and grain.
I think I covered it all. I dont really eat spaghetti anymore because there is no point! 8 points for 1/4 cup of pasta! Really not worth it! I drink lots of water, and decaffeinated green tea. My sugar intake has been cut back way more than half. I only have about 3 tblsp of sugar a day! Which I find is alot but its hard to completely give it up!
All I can really say is that its all about portions, as Im sure you guys already know!!!! Logically you can have 1 cup of rice if you wanted, but that is 2 extra points you can be dispersing elsewhere, like snacks during the day!
Im a little more strict on myself, I cut most of my carbs out, but not completely because that will just make you want to eat more of them. I will have spaghetti sometimes, very rare!!!
Hope I helped some of you with some insight and maybe you can share what your diet plan is like as well! For me and others
Lost 35 pounds on weight watchers..no exercise!
