Food Ideas for being Plateaued.



Recommended Posts

I need help with food ideas. I haven't lost weight since January and this last month I finally pushed 5lbs off of me. Which I am very excited for. I just worked harder at the gym.

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of foods that are quick and easy to prepare. I dont have time to cook all my meals in one day or to cook every night. I was wondering there is a quick recipe that someone swears by.

For Breakfast I either do pb on light wheat (1 piece obviously) to get Protein or 2 egg whites and 1 whole egg scrambled with salsa and ff cheese on top. Those are easy for me.....

Please share your secrets.....

Miss you all! I am going to try to connect more on here again!

For a quick, easy and not too expensive dinner, we stop at the supermarket and buy a cooked roasted chicken for only $7 and microwave veggie bag. It feeds 3 of us.

I also cook boneless chicken on the grill, have it with a salad....

hope this helps....

I feel like a broken record because I say this so much. My favorite Protein source right now is plain 0% fat greek yogurt - it's not high in calories, has no fat, super low in carbs and 5 oz has 15g protein. By itself, it tastes like sour cream so I use it as a sour cream substitute and dip chicken, etc in it. My fav way to eat it is 5oz with 1 or 2 tbsp Peanut Butter mixed in...it tastes delicious! I have that for Breakfast every morning, and if I need a snack I eat it then as well. You can also mix in splenda, fruit, etc and it takes on that flavor. Last night I mixed in the ranch dip powder to make ranch dip and had veggies with it.

Try Fage greek yogurt

You can google it to find their home page and most health food stores carry it or you might find it at your supermarket.

Yea I do the Fage yogurt. Make sure you do a low-fat one. I do the Fage Total 0% which has no fat, but they also have a 2% one. Fage tends to be thicker than the other brands, but I like the consistency more.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
