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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
