One thing I really like that fixes my chocolate cravings is Yoplait Whipped Chocolate Mousse. It has 140 calories and is premeasured so I'm not tempted to cheat. When the weather is hot, I freeze it to use as ice cream. The whipped freezes better than regular yogurt. 4 Members Were Sparked
I'm trying to eat more superfoods. Sweet Potato, Blueberry, almonds, garlic, and avacado are easy to add into the diet and they taste wonderful. I have been making microwaved baked potato chips with the sweet potato. They are great with curried yog. dressing. 51 Members Were Sparked
Soft Drinks made me soft and flabby - NO MORE! My wife and I started by not ordering soda when going out to eat (saved money). Then simply didn't buy any soda next time at the store. Now we are both off soda. Iced tea has made a great, low cost substitute. 4 Members Were Sparked
I make sure to eat ever 3-4 hours and drink plenty of water. This ensures that I won't get so hungry that I just eat whatever is around or find myself mindlessly eating. 3 Members Were Sparked

If you do not like fruits or veggies, try making your own protein shakes and add them as ingredients. I use Syntrax Nectar protein powder, add skim milk, water, fruit, veggies, nuts, tofu and mix it in the blender. WHen mixed together the taste of the veggies is hidden in the mix.

Think of food as fuel and that will change how you eat. If you need fuel to run a race, you certainly wouldn't go for a cupcake that day. You'd need the proper carbs to make it through the run. |
