Best snacks or food to eat to help loose weight



Recommended Posts

Welcome.

How is your husband going so far? If he is losing weight already he is on the right track.

Make sure he is consuming some good fats along with the higher protein/low carb diet.

As for Snacks this may be useful https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/healthy-high-protein-snacks#section17

As for meals, can't go wrong with lean Protein (red meat, chicken, turkey, fish) and low carb vegies, eggs (scrambled, boiled or poached), crustless quiches, cottage cheese, small amount of nuts, small amount of good fats, greek yoghurts with higher protein or branded high protein yoghurts, high Protein Shakes, small amount of low carb fruits are useful too. You can makes Soups, stews, casseroles, etc.

There are a lot of recipes out there that can be made. I did a low carb diet prior to surgery and did fairly well.. i am actually about 18 pounds away from my lowest on my low carb diet.. then i fell off the wagon, hence the surgery. I consider the tool my wagon that makes me stay seated! :)

Thank you all for your help. He is down about 10lbs in 5 days. I am cooking a lot of Protein for him, eggs, chicken, some salmon and beef. I make him a big egg scramble or omelet every morning with zucchini, squash, broccoli, cheese and meat. Then some kind of a chef salad for lunch and veggies and meat for dinner. He has gone to the gym a few times. He is 6 foot 2 and started at 330, he is down to 320. I'm trying to cook different foods so he doesn't get bored and want to stop.

Thank You

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
