Okay, so week one of dieting has started. I feel great energy wise, combining diet & exercie. But OMG I'm am so effin hungry.

Who knew that everything that taste good is bad for you. I mean how many times can one eat chicken in a week, or deli meat?

So I need some helpful idea for meals, more especailly dinner. I walked around and around the store last night with no idea of what to buy, because it was a fatty or carbs. Or chicken, and eventually left the store with nothing.

My mom is trying to tell me to start eating soy based products. But I worry that eating soy based products might make me gay, due to the estrogen level contained in soy.

So help me out with some healthy yet *filling* dinner meal ideas. I'd be eternally grateful!
 
I'd think stir fried vegies like celery, carrots, bean sprouts, snow peas and cabbage should be good so long as you use a good oil to fry them in. They got like lots of fiber and good stuff. Don't I sound smart...



If all else fails, RICE CAKES!;)
 
Just because you're on a diet, doesn't mean you can't eat good food.

My routine:

Breakfast:
Oatmeal (1 packet strawberries and cream + 1/2 cup regular oatmeal) and a banana. Or
2 Scrambled egg burritos.

Snack:
Use a blender and make a fruit smoothie with frozen bluberries, non-fat yogurt, a banana and a splash of skim milk.

Lunch:
Peanut butter and banana sandwhich and some pretzels.


Dinner:
I marinate chicken breast in a fat free italian dressing and grill it. Cut it in half and put it on bun. Also, I eat a lot of pasta. You NEED the carbs if you're exercising.

Eat sherbet instead of ice cream.
Don't eat after 8pm. Watch your portion sizes...this gets people in trouble.

Eat healthy snacks. Carry around a granola bar or a meal replacement bar to prevent you from getting SO hungry you'll eat damn near anything. Kellogs makes a pretty good one.

Don't think of it as a 'diet.' Think of it as a healthier way of life.

Work hard for six days and reward yourself. Don't develop the mindset that you'll NEVER be able to eat pizza or desserts or whatever...just eat them less frequently...a lot less in some peoples' cases.

Men's health usually has good low-calorie recipes.

Hope some of this is useful. Enjoy your new lifestyle.

Love pasta. Didn't think that I could have it because it was a carb. And carbs=bad!
 
Yeah, carbs-less diets without an explanation are a bunch of bs. Actually carbs-less diets aren't all they are cracked up to be unless you know what the heck you're doing. Carbs are awesome for energy so why cut them completely out of your diet? Just eat only what you need and remember that it will take more than just a few days for your body to adjust to a change in diet. You aren't going to feel this hungry forever! In the mean time, keep something light and healthy nearby and snack once every hour or so.

If you really have trouble, try keeping a detailed log and challenge yourself to keep calories at an appropriate amount for your activity level and keep the sodium as low as possible. Fat and cholesterol are relatively easy to keep down but that sodium is tricky! OH, and drink LOTS of water. Don't binge on it, just keep some near you and sip often.
