jen_1381 446 Posted June 18, 2012 Protein, Vegetables, and Fruit! Stick to the basics. My WLS Coordinator told us about a patient who lost over 110 lbs in a year. When she was asked how she was so successful, she told them she ate her Protein first, then her veggies if she was still hungry, then fruit if she was STILL hungry. If she wasn't full after all of that, she would go for a walk or do some sort of exercise. I'm trying to stick to that plan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's crucial to your weigh tloss success. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SageTracey 608 Posted June 19, 2012 Stay away from that fast food! It is not your friend! Good luck on making healthy choices. Protein first, then vegetables is a great plan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shuckybucky 107 Posted June 19, 2012 I'm surprised you can eat fast food. I can't eat any fast food but you know to eat Protein, protein, protein. cheese sticks, beef Jerky, yogurt are good sources of protein. So if you go to McDonalds get a fruit n yogurt parfait, salad, or grilled chicken sandwich but don't eat the bread.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honk 780 Posted June 19, 2012 When possible plan your meals and bring it with you. When I failed to do that I would have to eat at the company cafe which meant I would get higher cal meals because that's all they had (even their "healthier options" had more fat/cals than I wanted.) If you must go to a fast food place look for options that are healthier: chili from Wendy's (they also now have baked sweet potato skip the cinamon butter though), grilled chicken (order sandwhich no mayo eat chicken and lettuce/tomato), KFC has a nice grilled chicken breast (have corn on the cob and green Beans for sides).
