Good Morning Everyone,

Thank you Sachita and Corkey on the information on juicing. I was watching the movie, "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead" yesterday on NetFlix. The guy on the movie, teaches people about juicing and it is something that I am thinking about trying.

Have a great day,

Zimmy

I am subscribing to this thread due to the fact that in the last few weeks I have started having swollen feet where I cant get my shoes on. I have been borderline diabetes and high blood pressure for awhile now. I just have this superman complex since leaving the hospital a few years ago after nearly dying.

Its easier with my work schedule to just eat out. But its not the eating out that is bad. Its the quanity and quality of food I am eating.

Now that I have been moved and getting settled in the new place. I have to start eating right. I would welcome some suggestion since I cant stand vegetables. Maybe V8 LOL

thats why juicing is good. You just down it. Plus you can add apples, pears, lemon, different things to find the taste you need. Don't do v-8.

Mia's sister is 5 years old. I can't get her to eat any veggies but I can juice fruit like berries with veggies and she'll drink it.

Good Evening BBM,

I love broccoli, carrots, yellow corn, sweet peas, black beans, bell peppers. I like to buy the frozen vegetables, this way I can season them my way. Im not a big fan of V8. Add plain water to your diet and watch how much salt and fried foods you consume.

Good luck and we all will be here to help you out!

how about start with a 3 hour diet. eat every three hours but no more then 8 oz. There are quite a few frozen dinners that are 8oz. As you lose weight make healthier choices.

Always keep food with you to avoid snacking. If I run errands I take food with me.

If you need to chat, I'll be around. Just get to feeling better! I love Boar's Head Ovengold turkey breast with spicy brown mustard, 2% Swiss cheese and lettuce on whole wheat bread. I also keep either the Weight Watchers, Lean Cuisine or Healthy Choice dinners in my freezer for the nights when I work late. I also have a salad without the dressing and the flavors of the salad ingredients make the dressing.

I season the meat before I put it in the George Foreman grill. I just season one side of the meat.

Ok I have done that but it came out tough not grilled? Maybe I am stupid lol but I cant cook Just sayin! LOL

White bread is not good for you. When you buying bread, look for *unbrominated whole wheat unbleached flour*. I like the Pepperidge Farm German Dark Wheat bread.

Taking notes Zimmy :) Thanks!

I always wash the meat off before I season it. I let it thaw out in the refrigerator overnight.

Your welcome! What ever you do, don't skip a meal. I like having Fiber One bars at my desk when I'm at work or in my purse.

Taking notes still :) So is yogurt good for you?

Greek yogurt is very good and I like the Chobani brand. It has less sugar and is very high in protein.

I experienced this is my last job. The hours were not regular and I worked a lot. What I tried to do was cook a bunch on a day off so that I knew if I just came home for dinner I wouldn't have to take a lot of effort to eat. That would keep me from going in drive-thrus.

Now I have a regular schedule and can cook nightly; however, I don't have access to the same selections of food that I did in my old town. Not a lot of produce selection, or spices, or things that I considered staples. I have to drive at least an hour to buy things like feta cheese and corn tortillas.

I told myself with this move, it's a chance to make me into the person I want to be. I have stopped drinking soda at the levels I was before. I get one a day but I get it with extra ice. And I am drinking at least 48 oz of water, mostly when I get off of work.But it has to be bottled water for two reasons: 1. the water supply here isn't safe
2. There is something psychological about it being in a bottle where I will drink more. I can take the water out of the bottle and put it in a glass and I won't drink as much.

I am also taking my lunch every day to work, which with my last job and the hours being so irregular I sometimes wouldn't eat lunch and when I did it would be drive-thru as I saw my clients in their homes. I also never ate breakfast because it would make my stomach hurt. But with my schedule being more regular, I have started eating breakfast. My breakfasts consist of a bagel with light cream cheese on the weekends and during the week a Fiber One Oats and Chocolate bar. When shopping out of state this weekend I also got some greek yogurt with honey on the bottom. If I like it, I will start having that for breakfast.

I am also not a fan of most veggies, so sometimes I will drink a small can of V8 but the best way for me to eat the veggies is to make a soup out of them and use the immersion blender and I get the tastes without the texture differences that bother me.

I've also started trying new things that I didn't think I liked. One of them being almonds. You can eat few of them and feel full and the Chili-Lime ones I found during my shopping trip are sooooo good.

All of this, which aren't huge changes, is helping my immensely. I am sleeping better, I am feeling better (which I contribute to the water intake), clothes are fitting differently. I haven't weighed myself because I don't want it to get me down. I am happy with feeling better and clothes fitting better.
