how can i lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks?
healthy sandwich recipes under 200 calories image
Kgirl
I have a lot of belly fat after my 3 kids and have been trying for 6 months to lose it. What can i do to get rid of this extra weight fast!!! I need to lose 45lbs a fast a possible....somebody help! nothing i am doing is working!
Answer
I did this and lost 40 lbs in just under 3 months:
Breakfast: Choose one
Fiber One Cereal: There are like 8 different choices on flavors, caramel, fruit, honey, raisen bran, original, ect. All very healthy for you and a great way to start off the day with minimal sugar and a boost of fiber. (1 full cup of cereal + milk is more than I can eat and it's less than 200 calories)
Thomas Whole Grain English Muffins: If you're in the mood for some warm bread, pop one into the toaster and spread some organic peanut butter, No sugar added jam, or I can't believe it's not butter for a warm and delicious breakfast pastry (Note: buy peanut butters in which the oil is at the top and you have to mix it in; avoid brands like Skippy or Jif.) (Each english muffin is 100 calories but be careful of toppings, they add up quickly)
Egg Beater/Egg Whites: You can buy cartons of egg beaters or egg whites in the store. they are delicious, you will not be able to tell the difference between them and regular eggs. Except for the fact that EB/EW cook faster and more easily than regular eggs with no beating the eggs or shells to clean up. Make an ommlete or scrambled eggs and throw in some chopped peppers, spinach, turkey bacon, or skim cheese.
For luches and dinners I recommend Clean Eating. It's a delicious way to Eat without lots of sodium, or artificial chemicals. I have lost 40lbs eating clean. And in over a year of cooking there meals, not ONCE have I been disappointed with the flavor of their recipies!

My fave's
Fish and Chips (because I'm from the UK, I grew up loving Fish and Chips and these are so delicious and when I eat them I feel like I'm back at The Laughing Halibut in London) http://www.cleaneatingmag.com/Recipes/Re…
($1.79 for all materials, They come in at just under 300 calories)
Goat Cheese & Kalamata Paninis: These are so amazing I want one right now. The PERFECT lunch. One very filling sandwich is 300 calories
http://www.cleaneatingmag.com/Recipes/Re…
Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread: I love making this, it's actually fun to cook and tastes so amazing!
http://www.cleaneatingmag.com/Recipes/Re…
Makes a large loaf with 12 slices at 180 calories a slice.
Blueberry Strudel: Very reminiscent of a small sidewalk bakery I grew up by. This is without a doubt my favorite dessert. serves the recipe makes more than enough for 4 at 200 calories each.
http://www.cleaneatingmag.com/Recipes/Re…
But, if you were to follow my advice, eating one of my breakfast options at about 300 calories, a clean lunch at about 300 calories, a dinner at about 300-400 calories, and a dessert at about 150, you ate 3 HUGE meals and a decadent dessert at a grand total of 1050-1150 calories a day.
The average male burns about 2400 calories in one day without working out (females is anywhere from 1600-2200 depending on many, many things; you guys are just.... complex =P, also keep in mind this is an average. If you are 6' 8'' 300 lbs you would burn more than average, If you were 4'8'' 100lbs, you would burn less.) A Pound is equal to 3500 calories. therefore without working out, you will lose a pound every 3 days. stick to the diet for a month and you are at 10 lbs, do it this fall: 30lbs. I dropped 40 lbs in 3 months (although I did run once or twice a week but nothing too intense, but that was negated by the fact that I cheated on days I ran by going to my local bakery and ordering all sorts of sweets for breakfast!)
Good luck with your weight loss

Im 15 yrs old, 6ft, weigh 200 lbs, and i need too lose 15 or more lbs by August 15th... What DO I NEED TO DO!!
Eric M
PLEASE!!! any suggestions
Answer
You just have to take it one day at a time, and don't give up! It takes a while to lose weight, but in the end, it's worth it. Trust me, if losing weight was easy, we'd all be thin. You're going to have to be committed to this goal.
DO NOT starve yourself by going on a crash diet. It doesn't work, believe me! Sure, you lose weight, but not the weight you want. Your body eats at muscle mass and bone first. Your heart is a muscle, so by doing this, you can cause extreme damage. Then once you do actually eat something, it turns directly to FAT because your body is trying desperately to store excess calories & food for energy because it thinks that its starving - And you end up gaining everything you lost, and then some!
Try eating more fruits and veggies in place of other fatty meals, like junk food, cookies, or high calorie meals. Like most people (I'm guilty sometimes!), you've probably brainwashed yourself into thinking that fast food tastes better than healthy food, but that's not entirely true! Try eating MorningStar Garden Burgers, grapes, clemintines, apples chunks in vanilla yogurt (good for sweet cravings!), blueberries, hummus (it sounds gross but it's really not, you can make low-calorie wraps with whole-grain wraps), granola, low-fat yogurt, low-fat string cheese, light brand whole wheat bread, 100 - calorie popcorn / kettle corn bags, steamed broccoli with a buttery garlic sauce, microwavable veggies etc. I also snack on South Beach Diet oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, sugar-free puddings, sugar-free popsicles for chocolate cravings. Check out www.hungry-girl.com for awesome recipes!
And eat SLOWLY. Take one bite at a time, chew completely, then take another bite. If you eat slower, you'll become fuller quicker, and you won't overeat. Drink a glass of water before each meal - You'll feel fuller faster and won't overindulge. Try to spread your meals out so that you're eating 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day - It keeps your metabolism up to speed. Try bringing a sandwich or a bag or fruits with you to eat at work or in your locker between classes.
Incorporate more exercise into your daily life. Take the dog for a 20 minute walk, do jumping jacks while watching TV, do laps around the block, or the house for that matter. Don't let yourself sit down for too long. If you can, get a gym membership. I use an elliptical for 30 minutes 5-6 times a week and it works great for me.
And don't eat out of boredom! It's a nasty habit to break, TRUST ME. Whenever you feel like eating, watch a movie with no commercial breaks so you don't have time to get up, call a friend, read a book or magazine, or get out of the house, away from the food.
And don't "DIET". Because the moment you go off your "diet", you'll regain the all the weight you lost quickly, believe me. Instead, make "healthy living choices."
I recently lost weight, about 20 lbs, and what really helped for me was planning my meals. I planned when and what I was going to eat, and made sure the calorie count was 1400. For your height and weight, I'd recommend 1800 calories a day. But never go under 1200! Whatever you do, don't let yourself stray from your plan. Write it all down or type it out and leave it up on your computer so you don't forget, that's what I do.
You'll never get to your "ideal" body by eating crap food and sitting around, no matter how much you want it to happen. It takes dedication to get the body you want! Make it like a game. How much weight can I lose? Prove it to yourself you DO have the willpower to get what you want.
But allow yourself a cheat day every now and then. Life is too short! If you restrict your body of all the "good foods", you will one day EXPLODE and eat everything in sight. Trust me!
One more thing: Once you do become thinner, DON'T think you can eat whatever you want now! You'll regain all the weight back, which is absolutely mortifying, especially after all the hard work to lose it.
Good luck! Hope that helps (:
OH, and sitting up straight burns more calories than slouching. Try it!

About how many sandwiches will a can of shredded chicken make?
healthy tuna salad sandwich recipe no mayo image
ROCKER_CHI
I am making shredded chicken sandwiches for my daughters birthday. I am just using the big can of the boned chicken, half of a box of Ritz crackers, and a big can of cream of chicken. About how many sandwiches do you think that will make? I don't know whether to double it up or not...
Its like the giant can! Im not sure how much but it usually fills a crockpot!
Answer
Probably only two if you don't mix the shredded chicken up with chopped lettuce & mayo.... if only mayo on the bread & the shredded chicken, then two.... if you are gonna make a chicken salad with it, then about 3.... =)
A can of tuna says 2.5 servings but really only think of it as two if not mixing with chopped lettuce, sugar, mayo, etc.... I use one can tuna per tuna salad sammy recipe which I put 2 cups chopped lettuce, mayo, etc, in & still only get 3 sammies.... =)
But you did say a big can so it may be bigger than the little tuna cans. In that case just read the serving size & servings per container on the nutrition label. If it says half a serving (2.5 servings) just round down. =)
For the little amount of chicken you get per can, it's cheaper to buy a bag of frozen chicken breasts if money is a factor.... =)
Just like a can of Spag-Os, cannot understand it.... it's high in sodium, you practically have to eat the whole can for one person to be satisfied & it's like baby mush.... buying a jar of spag. sauce & cooking some spag or elbow noodles is soo much cheaper/serving, wayyy healthier, & you get way more than one serving.... go figure... =/

What are easy and healthy lunches to bring to school?

I'm in college and have to bring my lunch most days this semester because of my schedule. Any tips and tricks or easy recipes for good healthy lunches would be appreciated!
Answer
there are a lot of things you can do to eat healthy on the go and they can taste great... salads and sandwiches are some
for the salads it is obvious, you just buy the veggies that you like and STORE THEM PROPERLY in your fridge. when you are ready, take them out and throw them together in a bowl. you can even make things interesting by adding apple slices or grapes, basically really nice fresh fruits, with that clean sort of citrussy taste.. you can even add meats like bacon or sliced ham or grilled chicken strips.BUT be careful with those. Keep them in a separate container so their is no spoilage or bacterial contamination.
sandwiches are the best and they don't have to be plain old baloney. go shopping! see what kind of interesting breads you can find.GO AS FAR AWAY FROM WONDER BREAD AS YOU CAN. whole grains are really nice, and sweet breads are surprisingly good with the savory stuff. it's like honey to ham. make sure and add lots of lettuce or whatever greens you like. depending on where you are you can get some pretty decent deli slices, and cheeses and the sweet stuff too.
if you want too add anything soggy like tomatoes or sauces ...it is a really good idea to keep them in another container so your sandwich doesn't end up all soggy
YUCK!
I know that you are in college and that probably means you don't ave great kitchen facillities, but if you do... make good use of it. if you can...try to dedicate a day to make some lunches that will last through the week. Things like ravioli and gilled or fried chicken breasts do really well.
and DO SOME RESEARCH!
there are some really good recipes out there and a lot of them a quick and easy.

Healthy Sandwich recipe?
Or anything else you'd recommend..
Answer
any of these could be healthy if u substitue.except for the salad i think its as healthy as its gunna get..
i just asked the same question about 15 minutes ago and i made it in about 5 minutes:
the recipe was
mix frozen spinach but thaw it out first eggs and chopped up hot dogs in a bowl and then fry..put seasonings and hot sauce in also if u want..put on a piece of toast...and or just bread...it was actually very good---
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...
ok with top ramen noodles the possibilities are endless!..seriously
u could boil them and then drain and add veggies, and pasta sauce and if u really want some kind of meat..do u have canned meat? if so there u go..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...
u can also cook, and drain them and then fry them in a pan with shredded or any kind of cheese that you have..add a few vegetables and some already cooked meat if u want..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...
chopped hot dogs and scrambled eggs..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...
pb and j but instead of the jelly use nutella if u have it?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...
huevos ranchers: take some tortillas fry them and then put them asided to drain the oil from the pan. take a couple of eggs and for my i dont cook them all the way through i love them drainy like u know..ne ways cook the eggs sunny side up and while they are cooking put some tomatoe sauce (small can) and add sugar to it....make sure u keep tasting it as ur adding the sugar bc u want the taste to be sweet not bittery..ne ways take the sunny side up eggs put them on the tortillas and drizzle the tomatoe sauce mixture..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...
oh and this is really good and healthy..if u have ne lettuce green lead preferable take it rinse it off dry it and then chopped off some tomatoes, cucumbers and what ever other veggies u like in a salad...and just throw some olive oil and vinegar salt and pepper if u want..this is the BEST most simple salad i have ever eaten..

Or for higher proteins roast chicken or turkey slices with roasted red peppers on the same type of bread with low fat mayo.
Just an idea anyway.
I like to make vegetarian sandwiches. Ubber healthy.

Easy low fat recipes for picky kids?
healthy vegetarian sandwich recipes for kids image
Q. Maybe even vegetarian type meals? I have a few picky eaters and on some weekends we have all the kids so there are 7 plus my husband and myself so it would need to be relatively easy and of course healthy, low fat and nutritious. I have one kiddo who hates almost everything except pasta, sandwiches and cereal(of course, it could be also that he just prefers his moms cooking which I can respect). I feel guily trying to make my kids eat foods they don't like but for the sake of their health they need to eat veggies, beans, whole grains, proteins, etc.
So anyone with good recipes for picky eaters would be appreciated.
And please don't just say 'make them eat what you serve'. I've tried that and it seems cruel to watch them sit there so long and then leave the table hungry because after awhile I tell them to just go if they refuse to eat their veggies or whatever. I also have tried withholding any snacks or desserts if they won't eat their dinner - doesn't work either.
Thanks!

Answer
CRUNCHY FRIED FISH
Here's a low fat version of fried fish. Simply coat chunks of white fish fillets in breadcrumbs and bake in a hot oven. Serve with tarter sauce and russet fries baked alongside. Kids LOVE this!!
1 1/4 pounds firm white fish, such as cod or halibut
1 egg lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
1 tsp dried mixed herbs
1 tsp paprika
Freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place a large cookie sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray in the oven.
Meanwhile cut fish into chunks. Put beaten egg into a small bowl, and combine breadcrumbs, herbs, paprika and pepper in a large shallow bowl.
Remove cookie sheet from oven. Dip the fish first into the egg and then into the breadcrumb mixture and on to the cookie sheet. Repeat with each piece of fish. Bake for 8-10 minutes, turning once, until fish is cooked through.
LOW FAT FISH TACOS
Halibut and cod work especially well with these low fat fish tacos. Bake, broil or grill the fish after briefly marinating it, and serve with your choice of low fat or fat free garnishes on top of warm corn tortillas.
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp freshly chopped cilantro
1 pound firm white fish fillets such as halibut or cod
8 corn tortillas
In a small bowl, combine lime juice, cumin, olive oil and cilantro. Place fish in a glass baking dish or in a resealable plastic bag. Add marinade. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Coat a nonstick baking sheet with cooking spray and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place marinated fish on baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, until fish flakes easily with a fork. Alternatively, broil or grill fish, allowing 10 minutes per inch of thickness. Warm corn tortillas according to instructions on package. When fish is cooked, cut into strips or chunks and divide among corn tortillas. Add shredded cabbage, low fat or fat free sour cream and salsa for garnish.
Serves 4.
LOW FAT CHICKEN ENCHILLADAS
This a is a great way to use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken. These creamy enchiladas are quick and easy to make. It's comfort food with a fraction of the fat.
4 corn tortillas
1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken (skinless, white meat)
1/2 cup black beans
1/2 cup sweet corn
1 cup medium or hot salsa
1 cup plain low fat yogurt
1/2 cup reduced fat sour cream
1/2 cup reduced fat shredded Jack cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Coat an 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Warm tortillas according to instructions on package.
Mix salsa, yogurt and sour cream and spoon half the salsa mixture into the chicken, beans and corn. Blend well.
Divide chicken mixture among the tortillas. Carefully roll tortillas and place them seam down in the baking dish. Spoon remaining salsa mixture over the tortillas. Sprinkle cheese on top. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Serves 4.
BEEF AND PENNE CASSEROLE
This is comfort food at its best (and a family favorite), combining extra lean ground beef, tomatoes, penne pasta and a sprinkling of reduced fat cheese. Sometimes I wilt half a 10-ounce pack of fresh baby spinach (squeezed dry) and stir it into the beef and tomato mixture.
1/2 pound penne pasta
1 14-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce, no salt added
1 tsp oregano
1 pound lean or extra-lean ground beef
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup shredded reduced fat mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Boil pasta according to instructions on package. Do not overcook. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, in a large skillet sprayed with cooking spray, saute onions and ground beef on a medium to high heat until the beef is browned. Add crushed tomatoes, sauce and oregano, and stir well. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes. Empty pasta into a 2 quart baking dish; add beef and tomato mixture and toss well to coat. Sprinkle with cheese blend and bake for 25 minutes.
Serves 4-6
You can also do a lot of wonderful things with POLENTA, which is very healthy, pre-cooked and you can buy it in the supermarket in a roll you just have to slice. It's a great substitute for pasta. Try covering it with fresh tomato sauce and a little reduced fat cheese as a side dish to broiled chicken or veal, etc.
Hope this helps!

How do I cook a meal to satisfy both my son and my daughter. He loves meat, she is a vegetarian. Any ideas?
Tareksgirl
I eat meat too, but we don't eat pork. Sometimes beef, and we eat lots of chicken. Also, my kids (ha, a teen and a 20-something) are no stranger to middle eastern food. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Try and talk your son into a healthy diet.
WASHINGTON, Aug 06, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ -- 'Physicians Committee' Campaign Exploits Children and Is Fear-Mongering at Its Worst
Attribute Statement to AMI Foundation President Randy Huffman, Ph.D.
The following is a statement by AMI Foundation President Randy Huffman, Ph.D.:
"A factually inaccurate, alarmist and exploitive new campaign aimed at scaring parents and school systems out of feeding children processed meats is just what those of us who know the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) have come to expect from this pro-vegetarian animal rights group in doctors' clothing.
After all, it is this group's actions that prompted the American Medical Association in 1991 to issue a news release stating that, 'The AMA finds the recommendations of PCRM irresponsible and potentially dangerous to the health and welfare of Americans. [PRCM is] blatantly misleading Americans on a health matter and concealing its true purpose as an animal 'rights' organization.' The California Medical Association also has criticized PCRM for 'lies and misrepresentation.'
And most recently, in a story carried by STATS.org, Ron Kleinman, M.D., a leading medical expert on childhood nutrition, called the campaign 'outrageous' and chastised the group for exploiting children to achieve their political agenda.
What more does the media need to convince them that this effort is not worthy of coverage? Perhaps these facts will help:
-- Fact: PCRM's goal is to create a vegan society. PCRM bases its claims against processed meats on this longstanding and myopic view that vegan diets (extreme diets that include no animal products whatsoever) are better than balanced diets. PCRM also cites a controversial and inconclusive report by the World Cancer Research Fund as representing "consensus" when it has been widely challenged by scientists.
-- Fact: PCRM's Executive Director Neal Barnard until 2005 sat on the board of the Foundation to Support Animal Protection which has since become known as The PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) Foundation. Need we say more?
-- Fact: There are safe levels of just about everything; balance and moderation are key. Even botulism toxin, a very dangerous substance at certain levels, is approved to treat muscle spasms in people and to reduce skin wrinkling. Mustards seeds produce the deadly "Mustard Gas" but mustard seeds also are the source for the condiment mustard. Saying that there are "no safe levels" of a nutritious food product is simply outrageous and scientifically insupportable. Processed meats do play an important role in a balanced diet that includes fruits, vegetables, grains and dairy products.
-- Fact: Children derive important nutrition from processed meats - and they will eat them. Children are notoriously picky eaters, but they enjoy many processed meats and derive essential vitamins, minerals, protein and amino acids to the diet. Uneaten bowls of lentil artichoke stew or potato cauliflower curry (two of PCRM's suggested recipes) contribute nothing to a child's diet.
-- Fact: Processed meats come in a variety of different formulations to meet many nutrition needs. Some choices include low fat, fat free or regular processed meats; processed meats made from beef, pork or poultry; and low-salt, cured and uncured processed meats. Yet PCRM takes a broad swipe at an entire and very diverse category of products. That's as stereotypical as saying that all vegetarian diets are healthy when a diet of potato chips, beer and lollipops - technically speaking - is a vegan diet.
-- Fact: Vegans Derive Far More Nitrite From Their Vegetable Consumption Than Meat Eaters Derive From Cured Meats. A liter of pomegranate juice contributes 100 times more nitrite to the diet than a hot dog and a spinach salad and a ham sandwich contribute about the same amount, according to one of the nation's leading experts on nitrite and nitrate. In fact, less than five percent of human nitrite intake comes from cured meats. Ninety-three percent is contributed by vegetables and by saliva. Will PCRM recommend that people stop eating vegetables or swallowing saliva? We hope not, because leading experts doing cutting edge research at the National Institutes of Health have found that nitrite is not just safe, it can be an important treatment for sickle cell anemia, heart attacks, brain aneurysms, even an illness that suffocates babies. 'The idea it's bad for you has not played out,' NIH Researcher Mark Gladwin, M.D., has said publicly.
Likewise, Nathan Bryan, Ph.D., of the Univ. of Texas-Houston Institute of Molecular Medicine, another nitrite expert, told Food Quality magazine, 'Many studies implicating nitrite and nitrate in cancer are based on very weak epidemiological data. If nitrite and nitrate were harmful to us, then we would not be advised to eat green leafy vegetables or swallow our own saliva, which is enriched in nitrate.'
-- Fact: The WCRF/AICR report that PCRM cites made selective use of science. The WCRF review has been viewed with skepticism by respected scientists since its release in 2007. It is a review of epidemiological studies. In response to the 2007 report, a systematic review by independent epidemiologists has documented that 15 of 16 comparisons cited by WCRF regarding processed meat and colorectal cancer in men were not statistically significant. Many other disregarded studies show no relationship. In July, the prestigious Journal of the National Cancer Institute published an article by a team of world-renowned cancer researchers who cautioned the epidemiological research community about the limitations of epidemiology and suggested that "...false positive results are a common problem in cancer and other types of epidemiological studies." The bottom line: The literature simply does not support the recommendations of the WCRF report and, in turn, PCRM's outrageous claims.
-- Fact: Cancer rates broadly and colon cancer rates specifically are declining, despite claims by PCRM that they are increasing. Colorectal cancer rates have been declining for most of the last two decades, according to the American Cancer Society, and so have colon cancer mortality rates.
Just as consumers need to eat a healthy, balanced diet, they need balanced information. Check with credible health sources like your doctor, dietician or the U.S. Dietary Guidelines. You can be assured that they will tell you that a healthy diet can include processed meats," Huffman concluded.

What are some healthy, good tasting, vegetarian sandwiches?
healthy easy sandwich spread image
Stalking K
Could you tell me some healthy, not bland, vegetarian sandwiches, that don't have tomatoes in them because I don't like tomatoes.
Thank you all so much for your answers!
I have a lot of great sandwitches to make (:
Answer
Hiya,
Healthy-n-Herby (n-tomato-free):
Salad Sandwich:
two slices bread or toast
several leaves of various lettuces and spinach
dandelion greens
watercress
cucumber slices
herb dressing
* * * *
Salmon and herb cream finger sandwiches:
250g light cream cheese
2 tablespoons dill leaves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
1/2 lemon, rind finely grated, juiced
16 slices wholemeal bread
400g sliced smoked salmon
Place cream cheese, dill, chives, lemon rind and 1 teaspoon lemon juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Lightly spread 1 side of each piece of bread with cream cheese mixture. Top 8 with salmon. Sandwich with remaining bread. Using a sharp knife, remove crusts and cut each sandwich into 3 fingers. Arrange on a serving plate. Serve.
* * * *
Black Bean Burgers: 6
1 can black beans, drained
1 small carrot, minced
1/2 onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp fresh oregano
1 tbsp fresh thyme
1 tbsp fresh basil
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cayenne
2 eggs
3/4 cup quick oats
Mash drained black beans (food processor or potato masher work well). Combine with all ingredients except eggs and oats. Once mixed well add eggs until thoroughly mixed (it's really easier to do this by hand even though it's a bit messy). Once mixed add oats (you may need slightly more oats depending on consistency, mixture should hold together fairly well and not be too mushy). Shape into 2-3 inch balls and press flat to form a patty. Place on hot fry pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Cook until browned on both sides (3-4 minutes per side). Serve on a bun with cheese, on a bed of fresh greens, or let cool and store in fridge for later use.
Notes: You may substitute dried herbs for fresh (1 tbsp fresh = 1 tsp dried). These burgers make a wonderful meat substitute; crumble them on pizza, nachos, or in a salad. You may also vary the ingredients (e.g. add some minced green pepper or minced sweet potato). Be as creative as you wish. Very healthy and low fat. Enjoy and happy eating.
* * * *
Hummus Sandwiches: 2-3
Spread:
1/2 cup cooked white beans
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
Filling:
1 cup uncooked assorted vegetables
2 egg whites
1/2 tsp: basil, parsley, salt, and black pepper
2-3 slices of whole wheat bread
Combine white beans, mustard, and lemon juice in a food processor. Add additional lemon juice for desired consistency. Set aside. In a greased skillet on low heat, cook vegetables until almost done. Add egg white and spices and continue cooking until mixture is done. Spread some bean mixture over each slice of toasted bread, then add a small portion of egg mixture on top. Serve immediately.
Notes: This is a very healthy and quick meal to make when you're on the go. It can be a protein-filled breakfast or lunch item. You can always substitute any flavoured tortilla with the bean spread and egg mixture.

Q. Do you have a unique sandwich idea? I prefer healthy sandwiches (no bologna), but I'm getting bored with my usuals. What are some of your ideas to add variety to my lunch sandwiches? Different ideas for breads? ingredients? types of mustard? combinations of ingredients?
I already enjoy turkey w/ swiss, cheese, cranberry & stuffing ... another favorite is a good slice of baquette, w/ artichoke hearts, brie cheese, and toasted almonds, broiled til warm and gooey.
Wow, some great recipes so far! Things that have caught my eye are the olive spread and grilled vegies; the tofu; the Sharon sandwich; Calif chicken; tom, basil, mozzerella; and chicken w/ basil, etc.
I do enjoy PB& banana, I'll have to try w/ strawberry slices :-)
Tuna w/ BBQ sauce? what kind of bbq sauce?
Keep the ideas/recipes coming, and thanks!

Answer
grilled chicken breast
pesto sauce mixed with mayo
roasted red peppers
red onion, thinly sliced
provolone cheese
on herbed foccacia or ciabatta bread, or even in a pita
Then, if you have a grill (better yet, a panini grill), grill the completed sandwich until the cheese starts to melt and the bread gets crusty.
I think I have to get out of the food section. LoL. Drool =P

2 roasted chicken breasts, skinless and boneless, cut into small pieces
3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
1/4 cup light cream cheese (fat-free cream cheese can be substituted)
Cheddar Cheese Spread:
Ingredients:
8 ounces reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese, shredded or grated
8 ounces light or nonfat cream cheese
9 slices special recipe white or whole wheat or cracked wheat bread
Prep:
1. Decide which spread you would like to make. Cut the bread slices into interesting shapes using cookie cutters. Press cookie cutter onto 1 slice of bread at a time. If bread doesn't cut all the way, use a plastic knife to cut around the cookie cutter. Make sure you make two of every shape (to make a sandwich).
2. For chicken spread, add the chicken pieces, mayonnaise, and cream cheese to a food processor. Pulse the food processor until ingredients are blended well and are spreadable.
3. For cheese spread, add grated cheese and cream cheese to food processor. Pulse the food processor until ingredients are blended well and are spreadable.
4. Spread some of the chicken or cheddar cheese spread on one of the bread shapes. Cover with the second piece of bread in the same shape. Repeat with other bread shapes.
One spread recipe makes about 12 mini sandwiches.

California Grilled Veggie Sandwich
"I came up with this recipe to entertain friends. Since I am a semi-vegetarian and love to BBQ, I am always inventing something new. The first time I made this, my meat-lover friends raved about this dish! I prefer mesquite coals over gas barbeques...however, either works fine."
Original recipe yield: 4 servings.
Prep Time:30 MinutesCook Time:20 MinutesReady In:50 MinutesServings:4
INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/8 cup olive oil
1 cup sliced red bell peppers
1 small zucchini, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
1 small yellow squash, sliced
2 (4-x6-inch) focaccia bread pieces, split horizontally
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
DIRECTIONS:
In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Set aside in the refrigerator.
Preheat the grill for high heat.
Brush vegetables with olive oil on each side. Brush grate with oil. Place bell peppers and zucchini closest to the middle of the grill, and set onion and squash pieces around them. Cook for about 3 minutes, turn, and cook for another 3 minutes. The peppers may take a bit longer. Remove from grill, and set aside.
Spread some of the mayonnaise mixture on the cut sides of the bread, and sprinkle each one with feta cheese. Place on the grill cheese side up, and cover with lid for 2 to 3 minutes. This will warm the bread, and slightly melt the cheese. Watch carefully so the bottoms don't burn. Remove from grill, and layer the with vegetables. Enjoy as open faced grilled sandwiches.

what are some good easy to prepare snacks?
M_2
I'm not in a healthy snack food mood either, so thats no concern. We have nothing sweet already so I probably have to make somthing, but no good ideas.
Thanks!
Answer
Chili cheese fries:
Bake frozen fries til nearly done, then spoon a can of chili over the top & sprinkle with shredded cheese. Pop in the oven til hot & bubbly.
Make pizza from english muffins, bagel halves, or french bread topped with sauce, mozzarella, and whatever you have handy.
A bowl of cereal sometimes hits the sweet snack spot.
Ramen noodles are also fast & tasty. Cinnamon toast, PB&J toast, a fried egg sandwich, Nachos (spread the chips on a plate, top w/cheese and what-have-you, and nuke).

What CAN you buy from the grocery store when you're watching your weight?
healthy gourmet sandwich recipes image
Anna
Soo, I'm tired of eating the typical chicken strips and Dr. Pepper sort of meal. I really have no clue what to buy that isn't unhealthy. I'm just not sure what to buy or eat that'll actually have some nutritional value. I'm starting to drink water, but kind of actual food do I buy?
I would just like someone to LITERALLY tell me what to buy.
Answer
I avoid packaged products, except bread, pasta or rice.
You don’t have to limit yourself to low calorie food, as long as you watch your portion sizes and use the right cooking method (slow cooker, pressure cooker, steamer, microwave, grill, rotisserie…so you don’t have to add extra fat). I eat filet mignon that I grill…and I am always lighter on the scale the next morning (it has to do with the proteins in meat). You can also buy lean ground beef and make great homemade meatballs (20 minutes in the oven) which will be fulfilling and low calorie (use homemade bread crumbs), unlike the commercially made meatballs which are very high calorie and so tiny.
I’m not sure what chicken strips are… a “style of batter-fried chicken without skin or bones”? I usually eat skinless chicken that I cook in my rotisserie (using a lot of herbs but no fat) or my slow cooker or my pressure cooker so I never have to add extra fat.
A lot of fishes (my favorite is salmon) are delicious cooked in a steamer with broccolis and carrots. You can eat some rice with that too.
I find that adding broccolis to a lot of meals (pasta, rice…) really fills me up. Broccoli is the best vegetable, nutritionally wise.
You can basically eat any fruits or veggies that you like. Even an avocado, which has a lot of calories, is very good for you (has the good kind of fat). Bananas are great for an easy snack. Buy all the fruits that you like and that go together (and are in season, so they’re sweet) and make a great fruit salad without adding sugar but using pureed raspberries as a sauce (do not put bananas in your fruit salad…those turn ugly, still tasty, but ugly, after a few days). You can then eat that salad for several days, as a snack or desert.
You can also make great salads with lots of greens (lettuce, spinach…), hardboiled egg whites, olives, ham and cheese (watch the portion sizes) with a vinaigrette (olive oil is good for you).
You might want to explore the wide world of other great salads…like pasta salads (penne, elbows. any small pasta, a great way to use leftovers…) with artichoke, lemon, tomatoes and parsley…or a potato salad with tomatoes, anchovies, shallots, olive oil, mustard and chervil (my favorite one).
Any leftovers: pasta, chicken, salmon, veggies like broccolis can be used for salads.
You can also make sandwiches…Those are basically salads with bread. You can make a huge sandwich with 3 slices of whole wheat bread, 2 kinds of cheeses and ham, an egg, some pickles, tomatoes, lettuce…then you cut it in half diagonally and you get TWO meals right there, like one half for dinner and the other half for lunch tomorrow.
Homemade tuna sandwiches are better because you can control the amount of the mayonnaise and celery (very little mayo but a lot of celery) so they’re healthier.
I think that anything homemade has much less calories than commercial food and is so much tastier too. Also when you learn how to cook and you get into gourmet cooking, it’s a lot of fun, juggling with the herbs and enjoying the smell of it all (the only downsize is the dishwashing!). You can go online and find great recipes and learn every day. I learned recently that kale was a great addition to my lentils/sausage soup (yes, you CAN have sausage…just REALLY watch for portion size).
Also, having a yogurt a day is good (with probiotic bacteria) and makes a perfect snack or desert. Drink some milk too.

recipes that are vegetarian?
healthy sandwich bread machine recipes image
Q. I'm a flexatarian and thinking about becoming a full fledged vegetarian.
Answer
Healthy Eating:
5 A Day Fruit and Vegetables
Eating the recommended 5 a day servings of fruit and vegetables is the most important element of any healthy eating plan
The Health Benefits
For the last eight years the Dept. of Health has been trying to drive home the "5-A-Day" message. Research proves that eating at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables each day has very real health benefits. It can help to prevent heart diseases and some cancers. Evidence shows however, that many of us are not listening to this healthy eating advice. Recent research shows that only 1 in 7 of us achieve the 5 a day quota.
Dept. of Health to issue 5-A-Day Logo
To further drive home the healthy eating message, the Dept. of Health is introducing a new 5-A-Day logo initiative in Spring 2003. The Dept. of Health's logo will clearly indicate the fruits and vegetables that contribute towards the 5 portions it recommends you to eat each day. The logo will appear on fresh, frozen, tinned or dried fruit and vegetables and will indicate how many portions the food will count as. The criteria to use the logo is strict and aims to encourage you to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables.
In an effort to encourage healthy eating more research is being done by the Dept. of Health to help clear up confusion about what counts towards 5 a day and what doesn't - several processed foods with added salt, sugar and fat, despite containing fruit or vegetables will not at present qualify for the logo.
What stops you from getting 5 a day - Time, Money, Dislike All Fruit and Vegetables?
Lack of time for healthy shopping
Look out for canned, frozen and juiced fruit and vegetables. They are just as nutritious. Buying your fruit and vegetables in this way also means you have plenty to hand when you need it without having to spend time stocking up with fresh produce every few days. Healthy eating doesn't mean you can't make use of convenience foods.
5 a day is too expensive
Don't be fooled, you could find healthy eating better for your budget. Fruit and vegetables (excluding exotic / imported ones) are surprisingly cheap. An average banana costs 20p - less than most bars of chocolate / crisps from the vending machine - and provides more in the way of nourishment for less calories.
Choose fresh fruit and vegetables in season, not only are they cheaper they will also be most flavoursome and at their best.
Markets also tend to be cheaper than supermarkets, particularly if you catch them when they packing up for the day.
Alternatively opt for supermarket branded tinned or frozen fruit and vegetables.
Dislike All Fruit and Vegetables
With such variety of tastes, it's hard to believe anyone can dislike them all. Also remember that tastes change as you age and therefore things you detested in your youth (like brussel sprouts...) may be a lot more palatable now! Try a different fruit / vegetable each week until you find some you enjoy.
Working Your Way to Five A Day
Make it a mission to start working to your five a day quota. Remember you don't have to include all five portions overnight - your body probably won't thank you for it! (A sudden change can cause uncomfortable bloating and gas). Also don't rush out and buy a heap of fresh fruit and vegetables - to watch it rot in the fridge / fruit bowl over the coming week! Build up gradually, make it a habit and remember each extra serving is a step in the right direction. Try these healthy eating tips for including more fruit and vegetables:
Healthy Breakfast
Have a glass of 100% pure, unsweetened fruit juice
Slice some fresh fruit over your breakfast cereal or toss in a handful of dried apricots / raisins
Try a banana sandwich made with wholemeal / granary bread for extra fibre too
Make a delicious fruit smoothie from fresh fruit. Or add some skimmed milk / low fat yoghurt for a more creamy consistency
Healthy Snacks
Look out individual portions of carrot batons, dried apricots, raisins and grapes at the supermarket - grab these instead of chocolate / crisps
Make some crudites - carrots batons, celery sticks, baby sweetcorn, asparagus tips - to enjoy with a low calorie dip
Keep a piece of fresh fruit on hand - and ensure you eat it before you reach for high sugar / calorie snacks
Healthy Lunch
Add tomatoes, cucumber, mixed salad leaves to your sandwiches
Toss a selection of fruit / vegetables and salad leaves together for a delicious alternative - drizzle with a low calorie dressing and enjoy with a crusty wholemeal roll
Make your own vegetable soup for colder weather
Healthy Evening Meal
Try to include at least one vegetable with your evening meal
Add sliced vegetables to stir fries and disguise grated carrot in homemade dishes
Make a fresh fruit salad for dessert
Healthy Eating Out
Order a pure, unsweetened fruit or vegetable juice
Request a side salad or vegetables instead of chips
Order a fresh fruit salad for dessert
What is a Portion of Fruit and Veg?
1 apple, banana, pear, orange or other similar sized fruit
2 plums, satsumas, kiwi fruit or other similar sized fruit
1⁄2 a grapefruit or avocado
1 large slice of melon or fresh pineapple
3 heaped tablespoons of vegetables, beans or pulses
3 heaped tablespoons of fruit salad or stewed fruit
1 heaped tablespoon of raisins or sultanas
3 dried apricots
1 cupful of grapes, cherries or berries
1 dessert bowl of salad
1 small glass (150ml) of pure fruit juice
Healthy Eating with Weight Loss Resources
Your Weight Loss Resources Food Diary keeps a tally of your fruit and vegetable servings each day. Our calculation is based on the principle that 80g fruit or vegetables = one serving. Whilst, for simplicity, this is an approximation, it proves to be a good indication of your fruit and vegetable intake, and will help get to 5 a day.
Hope this Helps.?

Build up gradually, make it a habit and remember each extra serving is a step in the right direction. Try these healthy eating tips for including more fruit and vegetables:
Healthy Breakfast
Have a glass of 100% pure, unsweetened fruit juice
Slice some fresh fruit over your breakfast cereal or toss in a handful of dried apricots / raisins
Try a banana sandwich made with wholemeal / granary bread for extra fibre too
Make a delicious fruit smoothie from fresh fruit. Or add some skimmed milk / low fat yoghurt for a more creamy consistency
Healthy Snacks
Look out individual portions of carrot batons, dried apricots, raisins and grapes at the supermarket - grab these instead of chocolate / crisps
Make some crudites - carrots batons, celery sticks, baby sweetcorn, asparagus tips - to enjoy with a low calorie dip
Keep a piece of fresh fruit on hand - and ensure you eat it before you reach for high sugar / calorie snacks
Healthy Lunch
Add tomatoes, cucumber, mixed salad leaves to your sandwiches
Toss a selection of fruit / vegetables and salad leaves together for a delicious alternative - drizzle with a low calorie dressing and enjoy with a crusty wholemeal roll
Make your own vegetable soup for colder weather
Healthy Evening Meal
Try to include at least one vegetable with your evening meal
Add sliced vegetables to stir fries and disguise grated carrot in homemade dishes
Make a fresh fruit salad for dessert
Healthy Eating Out
Order a pure, unsweetened fruit or vegetable juice
Request a side salad or vegetables instead of chips
Order a fresh fruit salad for dessert
What is a Portion of Fruit and Veg?
1 apple, banana, pear, orange or other similar sized fruit
2 plums, satsumas, kiwi fruit or other similar sized fruit
1⁄2 a grapefruit or avocado
1 large slice of melon or fresh pineapple
3 heaped tablespoons of vegetables, beans or pulses
3 heaped tablespoons of fruit salad or stewed fruit
1 heaped tablespoon of raisins or sultanas
3 dried apricots
1 cupful of grapes, cherries or berries
1 dessert bowl of salad
1 small glass (150ml) of pure fruit juice
Healthy Eating with Weight Loss Resources
Your Weight Loss Resources Food Diary keeps a tally of your fruit and vegetable servings each day. Our calculation is based on the principle that 80g fruit or vegetables = one serving. Whilst, for simplicity, this is an approximation, it proves to be a good indication of your fruit and vegetable intake, and will help get to 5 a day.

Good, healthy bread machine recipe?
annonymous
My family is going on a diet, and I love to make homeade bread that I can eat sandwiches on. I like the kind of bread that cooks and everything in the bread machine. Please give some suggestions... Thanks. Also, If you have some other good healthy recipes they would be appreciated...
Answer
I developed these myself. They are 100% whole grain, but do have added gluten. Both are basic and can be tweeked, but accurate measuring (cups/spoons) is required.
I always begin by placing all the dry ingredients into a bowl. Once you’ve done that, you simply add the liquid and other moist ingredients into the bread pan.
The dry ingredients are then poured on top of the liquids. The last item to add is the content of a packet of yeast.
Your bread maker may vary, but most have a setting for whole grain breads that is a rapid cycle, regular cycle, large loaf, and/or regular loaf. All the following recipes work best in a large loaf, rapid cycle.
1. Whole Wheat
Add into bowl:
¼ cup non-fat dry milk
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups whole wheat flour
3 Tablespoons wheat gluten
Add into bread pan:
1 cup water
1 Tablespoon margarine (or butter, or shortening)
2 Tablespoons molasses
1 Tablespoon honey (or sugar)
Then add the contents of the bowl into the bread pan, top with a packet of yeast, and place the bread pan into the bread machine. Make your selection according to your bread machines settings. Push the button!
2. Honey Oat
Add into bowl:
¼ cup dry non-fat dry milk
1 teaspoon salt
2-½ cups whole wheat flour
½ cup rolled whole oats
3 Tablespoons wheat gluten
Add into bread pan:
1 cup water
1 Tablespoon shortening (or butter, or margarine)
3 Tablespoons honey
Then add the contents of the bowl into the bread pan, top with a packet of yeast, and place the bread pan into the bread machine. Make your selection according to your bread machines settings. Push the button!

Recipies recommended for someone who doesn't like to eat veggies?
amazing healthy sandwich recipes image
24th Princ
I know I should eat my veggies, but they taste so bitter. If there is a recipe that will cut down on the bitterness from them, that would help me out a lot.
Answer
Cabbage
1 package of bacon(chipped/fried)
3 large chopped vadalia onions
1 head of cabbage(chipped)
Fry bacon an onions together until bacon browns.
Poor in 5/6 cups of water.
Bring the bacon, onions and water together to a boil.
Add cabbage.
Boil for ten minutes
(If you are going TOTAL vegetarian, still include the bacon, but don't eat it. The flavoring from the bacon is what makes the cabbage REALLY amazing.)
Squash and Onions
3lbs. fresh squash (sliced)
3 or 4 large onions (any kind)
Spray frying pan to keep from sticking.
Sautee squash and onions until mushy. (about 30 minutes)
Add salt and pepper. (I like light salt and pepper.)
These are my faves. My mother concocted these through experimentation(they are straight from her head).
Baked sweet potatoes are really great and really healthy. Use nonfat butter substitute(I like the squirtable kind) with substitute sweetener and cinnamon.
Don't give up too quickly, I've found sweet potatoes to be very bitter myself, just keep adding stuff until you get the right taste. They DO get better the more stuff you add. Trust me.
My dad also enjoys cinnamon and sugar on mushy carrots.
A good thing to keep in mind is that vegetables make everything taste better. If you get a sandwich with meat on it, just pile on some green peppers, onions, and tomatoes(I love tomatoes). If you are planning on going total vegetarian, I am a BIG fan of tomato sandwiches.
Tomato Sandwich
Put mayonaise on two slices of bread and but two thick slices of tomato on the bread and put salt and pepper on the tomato.
There are some really great store brand vegetable packs that are REALLY easy to make. Experiment with different fried ocra that is already breaded. Also try different packages of cream and whole kernel corn.

What are some new, quick, and healthy dinner recipes?
Q. I love trying new recipes, but I'm all out of ideas :(
Answer
Lately I've been into shrimp salad sandwiches. It's easy, just buy a bag of frozen, cooked shrimp. Take out a handfull for each person, let them sit in a bowl of warm water until there are defrosted (5 min) then cut them up and mix with lowfat mayo. On a roll with lettuce- amazing!
A whole roast chicken is always great. It's not quick but all you have to do is pull the guts out, sprinkle with garlic powder, and roast at 425 for an hour an hour and a half. My mom does 350 for 2 hours but I'm impatient.
Shake & Bake pork chops only take 20 minutes and while they are cooking, put in a seperate cookie sheet with cut up veggies tossed in olive oil & garlic seasonings. They are so good, I use zucchini & carrots!
Pasta- instead of the standard tomato sauce, mix with olive oil, minced garlic, parm cheese, and some veggies. I always add black olives!
Steak tips only take 5 minutes if you buy them small enough. I cook them in a frying pan with butter but you can use cooking spray to be healthier.

What is the best dessert recipe for kids?
healthy sandwich recipes for parties image
The Grimme
i want to make something fast for my kid's 9yr birthday party
Answer
Ice cream cake:
In a flat glass dish:
Lay out ice cream sandwiches so that they cover the bottom of dish.
Top with Cool Whip.
Do another layer of ice cream sandwiches
Top with Cool Whip.
Garnish as desired. Place in freezer until ready to use.
Or buy a cake and make mini ice cream cups in clear small cups (bathroom cups will work) topped by Cool Whip. Place in airtight container; freeze until ready to use. Garnish as desired just before serving.
Suggested garnish (any or all):
chocolate syrup (or any of variety available;
strawberry, butterscotch; etc)
cherries and a small swizzle stick straw
chocolate chips, mini
multitude of mini candies
candle on birthday child's ice cream
Garnish will work on cake or cups. Could even put a small piece of pound cake in bottom of larger ice cream cup holder (some of those 8 or 9 ounce low clear plastic cups) before adding ice cream and topping. Would only need to add spoon. No flat plates.
Pigs in a blanket/corn dogs and/or peanut butter and jelly triangles, chips, drink. Use small plates or shallow bowls.
Not healthy exactly, but run the ideas by some kids. Hot dogs are okay but some kids always lose the meat or drop the bun.
Don't know if you have your menu planned or for how many you are fixing dessert; the above ideas are flexible and need only a small amount of last minute preparation.
Precook or prepare the sandwiches ahead of time; just heat and eat. Can even buy chips in small individual containers for lunches--bulk. Don't have to worry about where the kids hands have been.

Is this a healthy sandwich snack?
Q. i use "whole graine" bread.very little light mayo with mustard.I add lettuce,tomatoes,cucumbers,onion,and turkey 98% fat free.
Also what is a good healthy homemade dip
salad dressing i mean!
Also what is a good healthy homemade dip
salad dressing i mean!
Answer
That's pretty healthy and sounds yummy. For homemade salad dressing or dip, you can mix caesar dressing and plain nonfat yogurt together -- about 2 parts dressing to 1 part yogurt. It makes the caesar flavor less intense, and cuts the fat a lot. You can substitute plain nonfat yogurt for part or all of the sour cream in most dressing/dip recipes, too, with good results. When my mom makes onion dip for parties, she uses 1 c low-fat sour cream, 1 cup plain nonfat yogurt, and a packet of Lipton onion soup mix. It's darn good!

Are oreo thinsations vegan?
healthy sandwich recipes philippines image
Q. Just wondering becuz i dont think i saw any milk products in the ingridients but i dont noe my scientific stufss...
Answer
Not sure..I believe regular oreos are vegan now, but I'd advise trying to not buy oreos or a lot of processed foods. Oreos is nabisco, who is owned by kraft, who is owned by philip morris. This is an evil company and cares nothing about health for our country. In fact little of their products are good for you. Try looking for a recipe to make your own oreo type cookies, the filling is really easy to make and you could probably find a modified version thats much healthier.

How does a 236lbs guy lose weight in 6 months?
RenRaw
Please help! Give me some tips! Your motivational story... your experience... the kinds of food to eat...
I actually am planning to jog again...
I also have martial arts training but only go twice a week.
I'm 236 pounds... Most of my fat is on my thigh and belly...
Should I take diet pills? the thing is I usually get stomach problems and if I'll take it, it might just worsen my stomach...
I live in the Philippines and Rice is our main staple food...
Should I deprive myself of rice? and pork? since pork is very fatty...
Not much of a vegetable guy, but I guess sacrifices have to be made..right?
I weigh 236 pounds.
Male 20 years old
height is 5"8
Answer
Steps
1 Have confidence in yourself. You should know the exact reason that stimulates you to reduce your weight. This will help keep you motivated in your weight loss program. Know that millions of people do it, and so can you! You're never too out of shape to get into shape!
2 Set an achievable goal for your weight reduction. If the aim is not practical then you will easily get disheartened and stop following your regimen. You must set a target that has a time limit. The amount of weight you want to lose and the time within which you would like to lose it should be decided beforehand. If the time and amount of weight is clearly decided primarily, your enthusiasm will keep you on the track until you reach your destination.
3 Determine your daily caloric intake. Losing weight is simply an activity. Lower your calories intake without starving. Remember to calculate your metabolism. The metabolism is a large part of your calories burned in an average day. To win the battle, know how many calories you consume in a day.
Write down all the things you eat on a typical day. Carry a small notebook with you and write down every snack, every drink, and the contents of every meal. There are also great websites that you can use to keep track of calories, get recipes, and help achieve your goal. Don't forget to include the pats of butter or the spoonful of sugar in your coffee. It's best to do this for at least a couple weekdays and a weekend; it's even better if you can go a full week. There are also calorie tracking websites that can help you to do this, such as the US government Pyramid Tracker website.
Do an itemized calorie count. When possible, write down the number of calories in each food you eat as you eat it. Keep in mind that the recommended serving size is often considerably smaller than the serving you actually eat. Look up the calorie count on the internet for foods that don't have calories listed on the container or for fast food meals. You don't have to be 100% accurate, but you do want a good estimate of the number of calories you're taking in. There is an idea that multiplying your ideal weight by ten will produce a rough estimate of the number of calories you need to eat per day to maintain your weight. This is not true for everyone. You may wind up grossly under or over estimating the number of calories you should be eating. Consult a nutritionist. Use a scientific or health website to determine the number of calories you should eat a day or consult your doctor. Everyone has different metabolisms and there is no blanket rule that covers everyone's recommended calorie intake. Reducing 500 calories per day from the calories you eat to maintain your weight can help you lose a pound of fat per week.
[3]
4 Go over the list and decide which foods to cut out or reduce. Cutting calories is usually a lot easier than you might think. For example, that daily tall latte in the morning may pack 500 calories. Since a pound of flab (lost or gained) is roughly equivalent to 3,500 calories, replacing that rich beverage with black coffee can help you lose a pound a week. Other easy cuts include salad dressing (salad dressing is the number one source of fat in the average American woman's diet
[4]), soda pop, candy, and butter. Look at the nutritional information for the foods you eat, pay special attention to your intake of saturated fats and empty calorie, high-sugar foods. You don't need to cut these things out entirely, but if you reduce your intake of high-fat, high-calorie foods you'll
lose weight
faster.
5 Seek out alternatives to the unhealthy foods you've identified. You can simply reduce the amount of soda you drink or mayonnaise you put on your sandwiches, or you can substitute healthier choices.
Drink water instead of soda, for example, or use mustard instead of mayo. Low-fat and low-calorie options are also available for most foods, and many of these are natural, (although some may contain chemicals), and tasty. Start trying to
eat healthy in most meals:
Choose lean meats. Chicken and fish are both very low in fat, and certain fish like salmon, sardines, and fresh tuna are an excellent sources of antioxidants and Omega-3 fatty acids, which are also beneficial to your health, so aim to replace some or all of the beef or pork in your diet with these foods.
Replace high-calorie side dishes with healthier alternatives. Many people get a ton of calories from side dishes such as macaroni and cheese, French fries, or potato salad. You can
eat healthier
and lose weight by replacing these with fresh vegetables and salads. Pre-made salads are practically effortless, and when accompanied by a reduced-calorie dressing or no dressing at all, they're weight-loss gold.
Start your days off right. A fattening breakfast of bacon and eggs or a pastry can be replaced with
yogurt, oatmeal, high-fiber, low-sugar cereals; or fresh fruit for fruit smoothies. However, for
Steps
1 Have confidence in yourself. You should know the exact reason that stimulates you to reduce your weight. This will help keep you motivated in your weight loss program. Know that millions of people do it, and so can you! You're never too out of shape to get into shape!
2 Set an achievable goal for your weight reduction. If the aim is not practical then you will easily get disheartened and stop following your regimen. You must set a target that has a time limit. The amount of weight you want to lose and the time within which you would like to lose it should be decided beforehand. If the time and amount of weight is clearly decided primarily, your enthusiasm will keep you on the track until you reach your destination.
3 Determine your daily caloric intake. Losing weight is simply an activity. Lower your calories intake without starving. Remember to calculate your metabolism. The metabolism is a large part of your calories burned in an average day. To win the battle, know how many calories you consume in a day.
Write down all the things you eat on a typical day. Carry a small notebook with you and write down every snack, every drink, and the contents of every meal. There are also great websites that you can use to keep track of calories, get recipes, and help achieve your goal. Don't forget to include the pats of butter or the spoonful of sugar in your coffee. It's best to do this for at least a couple weekdays and a weekend; it's even better if you can go a full week. There are also calorie tracking websites that can help you to do this, such as the US government Pyramid Tracker website.
Do an itemized calorie count. When possible, write down the number of calories in each food you eat as you eat it. Keep in mind that the recommended serving size is often considerably smaller than the serving you actually eat. Look up the calorie count on the internet for foods that don't have calories listed on the container or for fast food meals. You don't have to be 100% accurate, but you do want a good estimate of the number of calories you're taking in. There is an idea that multiplying your ideal weight by ten will produce a rough estimate of the number of calories you need to eat per day to maintain your weight. This is not true for everyone. You may wind up grossly under or over estimating the number of calories you should be eating. Consult a nutritionist. Use a scientific or health website to determine the number of calories you should eat a day or consult your doctor. Everyone has different metabolisms and there is no blanket rule that covers everyone's recommended calorie intake. Reducing 500 calories per day from the calories you eat to maintain your weight can help you lose a pound of fat per week.

healthy egg salad sandwich recipe yogurt image
Katnip95
I want to start eating healthier. I don't really have any self motivation so maybe a meal plan will help me get in gear. I don't like drinking anything but water anyway so I'm good on that part. Any suggestions? (:
Answer
I will give 7 options for each meal sorry I am a vegetarian mostly so lol
Breakfast 1
Oatmeal with fruit (you can add a bit of honey to sweeten)
Breakfast 2
1 egg (prepared as you like), baked beans, 1-2 slices of whole-grain toast, fresh fruit, you can add 2 pieces of turkey bacon if you like
Breakfast 3
1 almond or peanut butter sandwich (use the natural kind), 1 banana, it's good if you can drink a small glass of milk but if not just stick with your water
Breakfast 4
2 oz of fish (it's not really expensive if you buy a fresh fish at a good price and then divide it into 2-3 oz servings b/c 1 pound of fish can give you 8 meals), 1/2 cup brown rice, http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Stir_fried-Sesame-Bok-Choy-Recipezaar, fresh fruit, personally I drink green tea here
Breakfast 5
2 open-faced veggie sandwiches on whole grain bread or wasa crackers, I add a thin slice of cheese (use a cheese carver it gets them really thin), fruit
Breakfast 6
Muesli and kefir (it tastes similar to plain yogurt it's excellent for digestion but it does take getting used too my husband loves it but I am not too fond of it personally) alternately you can have a healthy cereal with reduced fat cow's milk or fortified soy or rice milk depending on the cereal I might add fresh fruit I like nectarines with my bran flakes
Breakfast 7 (this tastes like a bit like a really nice chunky applesauce)
- Raw Food Breakfast -
"Oatmeal"

Put the flax seeds in the purified water and let sit overnight.
Peel the apples and cut them in smaller parts (for the blender). Peel the banana and break in parts. Rinse the flax seeds.
Put all ingredients in a blender. Add 1/4 cup water, just enough to let the mixture blend well. Blend all ingredients until smooth. You may want to add a little more water if it's too thick (I don't).
Tip
Can add nuts and/or raisins
