Guest guest Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Yes. As noted in the " CR Made Easy " file, you can eat Healthy Choice meals. This is what the file says: Purchase a low-cal low-fat frozen dinner (e.g. Healthy Choice). Add some frozen veggies to bring up the satiety factor and a very small amount of healthy mono-unsaturated fat (olive oil, a couple of nuts or a small piece of avocado). Skip the dessert portion (or substitute fresh fruit). This way you've got a very easy to prepare, fairly high nutrition, CR-friendly meal. About our files: a lot of work from many veterans have gone into making our files an excellent resource. Read them!! on 1/25/2004 2:45 AM, sussusana at sussusana@... wrote: > Hi there everyone.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Also, there are markets where you can purchase cut-up fresh veggies and all you have to do is throw them all together in a salad bowl, with a bit of oilive oil and balsamic vinegar and voila! you have a salad without all the dicing and chopping. Add some canned salmon and you have a CR meal without the work! on 1/25/2004 10:08 AM, Francesca Skelton at fskelton@... wrote: > Yes.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Thank you for the advice Francesca. If I do the frozen dinner thing, what kinds of dinners do I need to look for? I know the brand " Healthy Choice " , but what combinations of foods should I pick? How many would I eat a day? I am 4 ft. 11 inches and weigh 105 pounds. I don't know what my calorie intake should be.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Sus: Nobody knows how many calories you should be eating. I recommend you not worry about that for now as discussed in " CR Made Easy " . Eat healthy food liberally and cut out the junk. Three meals a day plus snacks (fruit, nuts, cut up raw veggies, fat free plain yogurt etc). We also have files which discuss the kinds of foods you should eat - so use them as examples. AFA the " Healthy Choice " meals, for the time being, just vary them so you're not eating the same foods every day. Variety is very important, (especially different fruits and veggies). Add extra vegetables to the HC meals as mentioned before. (BTW to access the files go to the home page at: / and click on " files " in the left hand margin. You will then have access to all the files. Just click on the one you want to read.) You sound like you're pretty thin. You may not need to lose much weight (if any) but instead just hone in on the " ON " part of CRON. on 1/25/2004 6:16 PM, sussusana at sussusana@... wrote: > Thank you for the advice Francesca.
