Guest guest Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 Hi , I am on weight watchers and moniter my iodine/sodium/hydroginated oils intake. A typical breakfast is 2 cups coffee black with honey 1/2 c fiber 1 cereal with 1/2 c skim milk and a banana snack is 1 c grapes lunch is either salad with 1 tomato and or 1 egg and or 2 oz chicken. dinner is approx 6 oz chicken or salmon with 1 c brown rice and beans and or salsa mixed in. Or another very big salad with chicken . I only put balsamic vinager on my salad.I eat alot of broccolie,spinach,brussel sprouts also. I typically have 1 glass of red wine with dinner.(I'm on an Austrailian Shiraz kick right now) dessert can be 1o nilla wafers or a wieght wathers dessert. Now you have to be careful because I know there are some folks who have to moniter their diets alot more strickly that I do. I also bake alot of homemade bread,so I can have some of that with lunch or as a snack. I dont know if this helps I hope it does. I have lost about 15 lbs so far with another 15 to go. Good luck and let me know Luci > Hi All, > > I'm thinking that something did not go through right with my mail to the > group yesterday as I have yet to hear back anything from my query.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 Hi , a small amount of dairy is fine for some of us - I know when I cut out all dairy I found I really NEEDED my yogurt everyday to keep my yeast/bacteria levels normal. And it is really hard to live without cheese, isn't it? You just have to figure out what works for YOU and what doesn't - we are all different when it comes to food. Here are some ideas: Breakfast: fruit/yogurt smoothie yogurt and granola yogurt/fruit/nuts oatmeal with fruit and/or nuts eggs and fruit, maybe a piece of toast if you aren't going to have much bread/grains the rest of the day Lunch: Salads - maybe you can put your left-over protein from the night before on it sandwich if you didn't have grains already for breakfast (egg salad, chicken salad, nut butter and jam, cucumber, tomato, whatever) Leftovers from dinner the night before Soup if it's low sodium - bean or lentil soups are high in protein Snacks: hard boiled egg hummus and veggies nuts apples or pears and nut butter Hope this helps, these are all things that helped me - but again we are all different.
