One reccomendation... increase your protein in the AM. I find that if I have a higher protein intake in the AM that I can go through the day without being as hungry.frankenmuth_tom:So I'm still hungry, and it's a LONG way to supper. I guess I had better have some more water.
Since I am following a specific program I am also going to post the WW points value (It may help others who are on WW)
Today, a typical breakfast when I can, I had:
Four egg omlet (3 whites and 1 whole) with red pepper, onions, and mushrooms (3pts)
WW lof fat English Muffin toasted (1pt)
1 wedge of laughing cow low fat cheese (1pt)
A substitute when I am working I have a:
Lowfat or Fat free yougurt (2pts)
1 cup (or 1 serving) cereal-- usually honey nut cheerios or graoe nuts ohs (2pts)
For everyone else, a mutivitamin is a must. Also, there has been recent research that suggests increasing your dairy to 2-3 servings a day is reccommended. Yogurt is also beleived to have an added benefit for increasing weight loss. I usually have at least 3-4 servings of yogurt a week.
Snacks that I reccommend that are low fat or fat fee:
Microwave popcorn (1-2pts per bag depending on the band)
Baked tortilla chips (2pts for 20 chips)
Salsa (0 pts)
Special K cereal bars (2pts)
Slim fast snack options (2-3pts)
Slim Fast Fudge pops (2pts) also delicious
Fat Free Pudding made with Fate Free Milk (2pts per cup)
Fat Free Pudding made with 1% Milk (3pts per cup)
Stella Dora Breakfast Toasts (1-2 pts each)
Almond, Anissette, Cinnamon Raison, Bluberry (1pt)
Chocolate or Regular Breakfast Treats (2pts)
Sliced Cucmbers with Ponzo Dressing (0pts)
Ponzo (usually found in the asian section of you food market or in asian specialty stores. It is the dressing that is served with Peppered Tuna or Cucumber and Crab salad in Sushi restraunts)
Reduced Fat Sour cream with hidden valley Ranch Dressing Packet to make a DIp for Vegies (1-2pts for 2 Tbs)
3 Hardboiled Egg Whites with salt and Pepper, salsa, taco sauce (whatever) 1pt
I will try to post a couple of recipies that have helped me out if I can convert them to a WOrd Document.
Good Luck all. More Later.
