Hello ladies ,
I like many others love to read this thread for good, solid, tried, & true information.
I have been exercising since December and I have given up sodas. Doing just that I have lost 15 lbs. Now it's time for a little more.
A few of the changes I plan to start implementing are:
1. No eating after 7pm
2. Really paying attention to my hunger level and to stop eating before I'm full, I really have a problem with this at dinner time. I know it's because I need to eat a snack around 4pm so I'm not ravenous at dinner.
3. Eating "cleaner" this is where I would like some advise from you guys. I am so anti-diet, I don't want to follow some "plan", all I want is simple, quick meals that are a good mix of protein and carbs and fat. Nothing too complicated.
I have seen some of you list your basics before but would you mind giving me some of your ideas. I don't mind eating different from my family (hubby & 4 kids).
Breakfast and lunch should be quick and easy so I can take and eat at work.
Also, do many of you eat small meals several times a day, or 3 squares? I really resisted the idea of eating several small meals a day because I didn't want to have to think about food that often and have to stop to eat that often but if I keep it as simple as possible I want to try it and see if that's the change I need.
Thanks a bunch,
Tina
