WOW Tory. I'd like to eat at YOUR house. What time is dinner? JK

" The Diet " reminded me of the 70's when I used to read Cosmopolitan (ugh)

and the super models (like Farrah Fawcett) would give a snapshot of what she

might eat in a day. If I remember, it went something like this:

Breakfast: Lettuce with 1/2 avocado

Lunch: Salad with lettuce, carrots and other 1/2 of avocado

Dinner: lettuce with tuna and (for a splurge) some cottage cheese.

Snack: Diet cola

UGH. That was how she maintained her 117 pound frame.

I like the full nutritional value of what you have shown as your " diet " .

Like your example (in past posts) of exercise, being active is key, and

eating a well balanced diet helps us to stay active. I know that when I am

OP (which, I'm only maintaining right now) and I am fully in tune with my

exercise program, I feel better and I am better able to handle stress and

make good food choices. You are preaching balance, and that is what I lack

right now.

Thank you for posting a sample of what your diet is and proving that you

don't have to eat like a supermodel (or a doctor who eats NOTHING) to

achieve healthy goals.

Eat More For Less

I was reading a fitness magazine this morning while eating breakfast. A

doctor (female) had lost 72 pounds by modifying her diet and adding

exercise

to her life. Awesome! In a little box on the side of the article was a

section called " The Diet " .

The Diet:

Breakfast is a protein bar

Lunch: turkey on multigrain bread and an apple

Dinner: Grilled chicken, salad, couscous and asparagus

Snacks: protein bars and nonfat yogurt

I'm looking at that and I'm thinking, " No wonder people don't want to go

on

'diets'! If this is all I ate in a day I'd starve. I'd honestly rather be

fat! "

Constrasting this article with an article I read in a recent Weight

Watchers

magazine I wanted to say " Yay! Weight Watchers GETS it! " People need and

want to eat healthy food. They need to feel satisfied and fulfilled with a

meal. In the Weight Watchers article they do meal makeovers, taking a

small

meal and making it larger and more satisfying by replacing higher calorie

foods with low cal foods, adding in 0 point value foods to supplement the

meal, and making the meal a real " meal " not just a snack masquerading as a

meal.

I'm all for big meals. I'm also all for meals many times a day. Having

been

on Weight Watchers since February 2002 I have learned how to make the most

of my points. It's like creative budgeting when we're tight on funds. We

can

go out and blow our last $20 on a new CD and a candy bar, or we can turn

on

the radio (0 point foods), pick apples from the neighbor's tree (with

permission, of course), and spend our $20 on something more valuable.

I don't post my journals because I have had people " pick " at them in the

past. My journals are huge, but I tend to stay within a certain point

range

for my meals/snacks.

Breakfast: 4-5 points

Lunch: 5-7 points

Dinner: 6-8 points

Snacks: 10-15

I always get someone sniping at me about " too many snacks " but in reality

my

snacks are simply small meals in between my main meals that keep my blood

sugar level, my digestive system happy, and my energy up.

So let's take a look at some low point, high satisfaction meals that I

enjoy. I'd love to hear other people's low point, high satisfaction meals.

Breakfasts:

2 Special K Eggo Waffles (2)

1 cup blueberries split (1)

1/2 cup Fiber One (0)

8 oz. Fat Free No Sugar Added Key Lime Yogurt (2)

I heat up half the blueberries and add splenda and use that as the topping

on the waffles. The rest of the blueberries are mixed with the yogurt and

fiber one. Talk about a filling meal! All this for 5 points.

English muffin (2)

FF Margarine (0)

1/3 c egg beaters with some Mrs. Dash and chili powder (.5)

1/2 wedge laughing cow cheese (.5)

Put this together for a McMuffin type breakfast. Add a piced of fruit and

it's a 4 point meal.

Joan's Breakfast Bread Pudding is 4 points for the entire dish. It makes 2

servings.

Lunch:

Yesterday for lunch I had a HUGE sandwich...I mean huge. It was one of

those

" Wow, do you think you can eat all of that " type sandwiches. Dagwood would

have been proud.

2 slices Sara Lee Delightful Wheat Bread (1)

4 oz 98% ff deli turkey (2)

1/4 avocado (2)

1/2 wedge Laughing Cow Cheese (.5)

lettuce, tomatoes, pickle slice, onion slice, mushroom slicse, and

cucumber

slices

Added 1 cup grapes and 1 serving of fat free Pringles and we're talking a

HUGE 7.5 point meal

Smart Ones 3 point meal

Salad (0)

Fat free Italian dressing (0)

Piece of fruit (1)

Quaker lowfat peanut butter chocolate chunk granola bar (2)

Total 6 point meal, very filling

2 fat free hot dogs (1.5)

2 slices Sara Lee Delightful Wheat Bread (1)

1 serving FF Pringles (1)

Salad with FF Italian dressing (0)

Grapes (1)

Total 4.5 point meal

Dinners:

4 oz. lean chicken breast (2)

Salad with FF Italian dressing (0)

Vegetable serving (0)

1 cup white rice (4)

Delicious 6 point meal (if you add a little FF Italian dressing to the

chicken it's delicious!)

2 oz lean chicken breast (1)

double serving of salad (1 if you're being honest)

1 serving nonfat oriental dressing (1)

1 Tbs almond slices (2)

5 point HUGE salad that makes a meal

2 oz 4% lean ground beef (1.5)

1/2 cup black beans (1)

1/4 cup salsa split

2 Tbs fat free sour cream (.5)

2 small, thin, corn tortillas (1)

Taco seasoning

Double serving of salad (1 if you're counting)

Cook up the meat with the beans and seasoning. Mix half the salsa with

sour

cream for the dressing. Spray the tortillas with Pam and chili powder and

bake to make " chips " and you have a HUGE taco salad meal for 5 points.

Snacks:

1/2 cup Dreyer's Fat Free Ice Cream (2)

1/2 cup strawberries (0)

1 small slice angel food cake (1)

Cool whip free (0)

2 slices Sara Lee Delightful Wheat Bread (1)

1 Tbs peanut butter (2)

Peanut butter toast...the original feel good food! Plus peanut butter is

so

good for you.

Carrot sticks and 1 Tbs peanut butter (2)

Apple cored (1)

2 Tbs raisens (1)

Splenda

Stuff the cored apple with the raisens and sprinkle splenda, cinmamon and

maybe a touch of nutmeg on top, cook in microwave for 1-1.5 minutes.

" Diet " doesn't have to be a four letter word! After over a year at goal I

have found that the more I eat, as long as I watch serving size and point

content, the easier it is to stay on target and keep my goal weight.

Ignore

those articles that tell you to eat less to lose weight...you need to eat

less CALORIES, not less FOOD. Eat more healthy, nutritious, delicious,

low-fat, low-calorie foods for better weight loss and higher satisfaction.

> WOW Tory. I'd like to eat at YOUR house. What time is dinner? JK

We usually eat between 5 and 6. I'll tell Roy to set an extra place.

Actually the funny thing is, we tend to eat the same things over and over

again. Part of that is due to my funky digestive system (had a whipple

procedure last year, so have less plumbing down there from it), but part is

that we just like things to be relatively easy to whip up after a workout. I

find that after a day at work and a workout, I'm STARVING by the time I walk

through the door, so almost all of my meals can be cooked REALLY quickly. If

I'm going to cook a big meal it'll be on a Sunday afternoon. (Yesterday was

garlic studded pork with apple slices, those apple cup things I sent to the

list, and a huge salad.)

It's no wonder! If she ate like that I bet her metabolism was so messed up

that she couldn't eat more without gaining. How silly! I eat between 1600

and 2000 calories a day and maintain about 115.

Yup! That's what I find too! I've had some neck pain lately which has left

me with bad headaches...which has left me cranky. (My poor husband.) Getting

out for a short run the last two mornings has taken care of the worst of it

each time. It amazes me that I find that not only do I use exercise to

maintain my weight loss, stay in shape, and be able to accomplish my fitness

goals...but in large part it is used to maintain my sanity! This morning on

the way out the door before church (for a short 1 mile run) I said,

" Doctor's orders! Gotta take my daily vitamins! " By the time I came back in

I was ready to jump into my church clothes and GO! Amazing. I mean still,

after almost 3 years of living like this (or working towards living like

this) it still amazes me how different I feel when I keep a good balance in

my life.

Not at all! I wish everyone understood this. I think " diets " are scary

because we love food. We grow up attaching meaning to food that is

ingrained. Food tastes good. Food is enjoyable. Food is fun. The idea that

if we want to be healthy we have to " diet " makes many people say " Um, no

thank you! I'll pass. " We get the idea that healthy=deprivation. It doesn't

have to at all! It does mean making more sensible choices sometimes, but

hey...tonight I'll have my weekly DQ banana split (within points) so it

doesn't mean COMPLETE deprivation. It just means being sensible, listening

to your body, feeding it good stuff, giving it a little fun every now and

again, and moving it and grooving it. Now how can THAT be bad?

Peprocini's are actually a particular type of pepper, not just any pepper.

And I'm really not trying to be a pepper snob, but do a search on Google,

and you will find that it is a particular Italian pepper. I thought about

using my 'banana' peppers but I couldn't find a recipe and they really don't

have the same shape. I LOVE pepprocini's on sandwiches, like at Subway

(only I do it at home with lite bread). I would enjoy seeing a recipe for

canning peppers just to see if they are like peprocini's. They are pretty

inexpensive at Costco.
