[V-DubLove]

any fruit, whole grains, granola, lean meat like turkey, protein shakes, yogurt.....i could go on and on

[mikeyjo]

Like V-Dub said, Blueberries, raspberries, nuts in their shell (keeps you from gourging). Persimmon season is starting, wait until they feel like jelly inside. Kinda like apple pie jello - YUM!

[killerweed420]

Chili omelete with lots of beer to wash it down.:thumbsup:

[kikoraa]

my favorite snack is slices of Gouda cheese with a pepperonccini greek pepper on top of a ritz cracker.

probably not the healthiest thing but its my fav!

v-dub pretty much hit it for you

Fruits and veges, make a salald, no fried food or fast food especially.
and if you do go to a fast food place get a salad or grilled chicken and no fries
and drink water instead of soda a lot of people dont realize how bad soda is for you, so much damn sugar.

Eating right and staying healthy isn't as hard as everyone thinks. The problem is that there is TOO MUCH VARIETY out there and people have a hard time saying "no" (which I can understand, it's out there so why not eat it, right?).

If you keep a baseline diet that you only go off of for special occasions, or for a once-a-week cheat day, you'll be fine. I should know... I used to weight 355lbs, I am now 205 with a good amount of muscle... and oh yeah, I've kept it off 12 years just by sticking to the theory below:

Six small meals a day....

Two or three of them should be the same: brown rice, chicken / turkey (white meat), vegetables (3/4 cup brown rice, up to eight ounces of poultry and all the veggies you like) - garnish with a tablespoon of your favorite "light" sauce (I use PC light peanut sauce). If you batch cook once a week and freeze, it's easy.

The other meals should stay basic: fruit / granola / no fat yogurt for dinner, liquid protein for breakfast (ISO XP rules, but mix it 3:1) and augment throughout the day with fruit, protein bars and whole grains.

Never eat white anything (rice, bread, etc)!!
Never eat meat after 5pm!!
Cheese is the devil!!
Drink 8+ glasses of water a day!!

And if it's loosing weight you're going for your workouts should be 80% cardio, very little weights and should last in the 45 minute zone at least 4 times a week. If you can work something into your lifestyle (like riding a bike everywhere) it won't hurt as much.

Follow this plan and you too can be FANTISTICO!!

Munch out of fruit, that's what I do. In fact about 60% of my diet is fruits and vegies. They're more filling than you'd think and your body will thank you for all the nutrition. not to mention it does wonders for your digestion!

Also I suck on vitamin-C tablets, it's like a healthy form of candy:D. If you want to be really healthy about it though, get the ones without any apsertame falvouring. Aspertame does make it taste a lot better, but that shit's carcinogenic and generally not good for you.

[home.grower]

right now I'm munching on a lovely apple, with a second about to be devoured.. Nuts are good too.. fruits and veg of varying sorts are healthy, as are fresh smoothies made from such ingredients... failing that, pizza, fries, burgers and a cinnamon swirl all on the same plate is good

HONEYBUNSSSSS!!!!

[foxysox]

Nothing.
All delicious things, like chili cheezfries, honey mustard onion pretzel shards, nachos, hot wings, beer, cherry garcia ice cream, crappucinos, poutine, charred red meat, bloomin onions, and enchiladas will send you to an early grave.
Oh well. It'll be a nice ride.

[eastend_stoner]

I munch loads of dried fruits, nuts, raisins, smoothies, fruit juices, wholemeal crips, fried sweetcorn, etc etc.

[suhl]

just exercise. and no walking to classes doesnt count. personally i love eating fruit but that is more cause it is good than healthy. ripe peaches being the best.

[birdgirl73]

My favorite is raw veggies and non-fat ranch dip made with ranch dip mix and non-fat plain yogurt. I eat lean meats and complex carbs and drink lots of water and get lots of exercise. If you work out, you can have a lot more freedom in your food choices. Lay off the high-fat foods, fast foods, and simple carbohydrates.

[silkyblue]

If it grows from the Earth, we should be eating it, fish, chicken, any blood toter flesh food, isnt all that good for ones self, its the blood thing that makes me draw the line, when it comes to putting food in me mouf

yeah Ima vegg

I agree with everything El Fantistico said except for avoiding weights when trying to burn fat. Depending on the person, weight training can be the most effective form of fat-burning because it's quickly turned into muscle. I'm not concerned with weight-loss, so I do 30 min of elliptical (my body can't handle impact) garnished with sit-ups for a strong back and push-ups for attractive shoulders. 4-5 times a week. I have bad-cholesterol-related stuff in my genes.

Don'ts: processed food (most packaged dinners), soda, cheese, it's not complicated.

Do's: Buy food from the perimeter of the store (produce, fresh lean meat and fish, yogurt), high fiber cereal, oats, unsalted nuts, extra-virgin olive oil (to replace butter), unsalted seeds and beans (hemp seed has ALL the essential amino acids). Unsalted nuts are an easy healthy item to munch on.

It's all pretty easy when you make a habit out of it. If you follow a plan like this 80% of the time, allowing occasional cheats (i gotta have pizza sometimes), you will be healthy, you'll avoid depression, and you'll enjoy life unfathomably

I'm 38. I'm 5'5", 115 lbs. I eat whatever the hell I please. In moderation. I listen to my body. If my body tells me to eat nothing but tuna and collard greens for week straight, then that's what I do. This week, I've been guzzling homemade frappucinos like there's no tomorrow, and gorging myself on smoked almonds and feta cheese. I have a high need for protein.

Drink lots of water, listen to your body, and enjoy your munchies in moderation. An awesome munchie snack is to mix honey roasted peanuts, raisins, cinnamon Life cereal, and shredded sweetened coconut in a ziploc bag. It's very satisfying. I also have a high need for whole grains, and eat tons of Wheat Thins, Triscuits, and oatmeal.
