What are good heathy supper ideas to cook?
Q. I'm going on a diet and I need recipes

A. Eat correctly and you will lose weight. Do not starve yourself.

Breakfast:
oatmeal & toast;
cream of wheat & toast;
dry cereal with milk;
boiled egg or two;
scrambled eggs;
fried eggs;
Fried egg sandwich;
Any type of meat with your eggs (even steak);
etc.
sandwiches are fine too.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You will not gain weight by eating breakfast.

Teenagers need 4 each 8oz glasses of milk per day. Adults need one.

Always eat breakfast, it is the most important meal of the day.

Be sure to take a multivitamin-multimineral tablet per day. Ask a Pharmacist which one is best for you.

Lunch: Meat, or chicken, or turkey sandwich with lettuce and tomato on it. Onion too if you like them...onions are a vegetable.
Tuna sandwiches or salmon sandwiches are healthy and good too.
Soups and stews make good healthy lunches.
Cold salads.
Buy wide mouth thermos for hot and cold foods to take to work or school.

Dinner: one meat/fish/chicken/or turkey; one vegetable; one starch such as rice/beans/or potatoes.

Snack on fruits and raw veggies.

Drink: water; or tea; or milk.

Sodas will kill you in the end. Rots teeth; weakens bones; makes skin on your face and body ugly as you age. Drink milk for beautiful skin.

If you are cooking for one person, buy the top brand frozen dinners. We have been eating them for years. I add tossed salad or sliced tomatoes for a side dish. Canned or frozen veggies too.

To be healthy, eat correct balanced meals.

If you want to cook, I get my recipes at:

Scroll down the screen for hundreds of dinner recipes.


Anyone have any work out and dieting tips?
Q. Ok well I was 187 and overweight for my height. Im still overweight and have a goal of 155 and Im at 179. Any good dieting tips or recipes? Also I need some good exercise tips too because because I am struggling to get rid of my love handles and stomach. I work out 4 times a week mostly and I dont eat a lot of junk but its not working. I want to get a little bigger, but Im mainly looking to get cut and toned. Thanks in advance!

A. If you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit.

Here are the golden rules:
Initially cut down to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) calories.
Exercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved if you don't have the access.
Don't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise.
Drink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day.
Limit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day.
Never eat dinner after 6pm.
Adopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!
Make low fat dairy choices

Follow this menu plan as a suggestion:
Breakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon
20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR
fruit salad w low GI soy yogurt
Snack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)
Lunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)
Snack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt
Dinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato
Snack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)

Exercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between.

Cardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. If you have access to a gym include boxing and spin classes as well. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes.

To maintain you can increase calories to 1500 (women) - 1800 (men) and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) cal and 6 sessions again.

Good luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.
