I saw this on another board and thought it was a great idea. What foods are so delicious, you can't believe they are actually healthy and good for you? (please, no chemicals or fake foods).

Fresh fruit - especially pomegranates, raspberries, cherries, tangelos and mangos

Hummus

A really good stir fry over brown rice with lots of vegetables (orange pepper, shitake mushrooms, broccoli) and tofu

Baked sweet potatoes - in the oven, baked so long the sugar in the skin starts to caramalize (sp?)

Whole wheat tortilla, smeared with peanut butter, nuked for 30 seconds, wrapped around a banana

Dried granny smith apple rings from Trader Joe's (like candy)

Super fresh yellowtail sashimi

Home made guacamole with lots of lemon juice, black pepper, fresh tomatoes and red onions

Vine ripe tomatoes, just picked, still warm from the sun, sliced and sprinkled with a little salt

Whole cloves of roasted garlic

Trail mix - dried fruit and nuts, yum!

Waffles and peanut butter

Baked apple with blueberries

Warm, salty edamame

Red wine

Grilled vegetables - especially onions, asparagus, corn on the cob

Home made pizza with whole wheat crust, tomato sauce, spinach leaves, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, black olives and feta cheese

Cottage cheese with pineapple

Dark chocolate

Crusty bread dipped into olive oil and basalmic vinegar

What I'm enjoying right now, even as we speak:

frozen red seedless grapes!

(I don't even crave ice cream anymore, as long as I can have these!)

My favorite?

Carrots and celery with hummus.

Kiwi fruit

Mangos

Talapias (sp?) fish with curry broth over brown rice

And I may need to try that grape trick...

Ive never had hummus.

Do you make it or buy it? If you make it, do you have a recipe to share?

I make my own

2 cans of chickpeas, drain and reserve liquid
Bag of sun dried tomatoes (not the kind packed in oil!)
Splash of lemon juice
Minced garlic (to taste, I like a lot)
Red pepper flakes (if you like spicy)
Anything else that catches your fancy - black olives, onions, etc.
Olive oil (2 tbs, if desired)

Put the drained chickpeas into a food processor. Add the sun dried tomatoes, lemon juice, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, olive oil (if desired). Pulse and slowly add the reserved liquid until you reach the desired consistency.

I tend to buy it at the store...I tend to like 12 tribes..they have lots and lots of yummy flavors. I do want to try making my own, so I'll let you know how that goes!

Oh my goodness, I am going to have to try that P & B tortilla wrapped around a bananna, that sounds delicious.

I noticed that you guys have really lost a lot of weight, any secrets you can share???????? PLEASE.

I basically stopped eating a lot of junk food and proccessed foods ( like the boxed dinners from Banquet). I increased the amount of veggies I eat, and fruit. And I do lots of yoga and pilates. Yoga has really helped.

Ooo, I have to try that. But I have no WW tortillas.

vanilla yogurt topped with fresh strawberries
fresh air-popped popcorn
vegitarian chili
celery w/ P&B topped with raisons
kiwi
fresh pinapple
special K cereal w/ berries

Foods so delicious it's hard to believe they are healthy!

This made me laugh, a bit. Our culture has such a weird relationship with food, largely thanks to the way the media frames things, that we find ourselves surprised that healthy food tastes good. The only reason that they wouldn't taste good is that our taste buds are so distorted by all the added chemicals, sugars & fats of processed foods that they can't appreciate how wonderful honest, natural food tastes.

Once we wean ourselves off unnatural stuff, "real" food just tastes better & better! (and also, we begin to find that the fake stuff we used to eat tastes sort of strange).

I tried hummus once. I almost lost my lunch

I think ALL healthy foods taste good. The foods I like in particular, of course, which are quite a few. I love eating healthy foods. Sure, cookies and cake and ice cream taste good, but I enjoy eating a piece of baked fish and vegetables just as much

Power to you, honey! I can barely swallow most veggies without them coming right back up

Tropical Wholefoods banana chips. I got a bag for Christmas and they are positively DELICIOUS! And nothing but bananas -- sun-dried and yummy! Problem is, I can't find them in the States . I suspect they're only sold in Britain.

Aww, that's a bummer

I love veggies. My downfall is I don't like fruit.
