I'm up to a 36 waist - thanks to Del Taco and a few others. As well as eating pretty poorly over the last year, or so.
I'm on a strict regimen now and doing a three week diet and then merging it into a new way of life. I have a history of eating well (normally) - but, again; have been quite clumsy over the past year or so.
My plan is to limit myself to 1100 calories a day the first week, then up to 1200 the second week, and then stay on or around 1500 calories as the norm, with one cheat day per week.
After the third week - I'll get back into some sort of exercise, which too will be part of the new 'way of life'
In this thread I'd like to discuss food ideas for assisting myself (& others) with weight loss.
Since Monday I've not gone above 1100 calories/daily - I have eaten oatmeal, oranges, bananas, hard-boiled eggs and in closing, in the evening - I'll eat one of the Chick Fil A Spicy, grilled chicken wraps w/o dressing (350 cals)
I'm open to ideas - but the goal is - finding items that are a little less common and more creative.
Please assist at your leisure - anyone else need assistance or interested in jumping aboard, I welcome it.

One meal per day.
Not looking for advice here (at least with this particular plan), this is a trial run to see how it turns out.

Yeah, putting the calorie count on menus is a huge eye opener... noticed a dessert yesterday that was 1700 calories, which is a couple hundred more than my target when I'm trying to lose a few pounds. [Reply]

I’ll eat sweet potatoes all the time but it’s just salt and pepper with some fake butter spray on it. I can’t brlieve it’s butter kind of substitute. [Reply]
