I will eat small meals but I always have to eat a large one for dinner with my family

My mom usually cooks healthily so that is not a problem

I ama picky veggie eater but I eat a salad a day

I love fruit but I try not to eat too much or its bad for you

So any tips?

I was thinking about running a mile everyday in the morning will that work?

What should I be eating?

I drink diet soda like 2-3 cans a day and 1 cup of coffee a day with splenda and no fat half and half

is this bad?
I also try to drink lots of green tea

Any diet tips that worked for you?

food for a teen on a diet? today?

October 3rd, 2010 admin

Pritikin Recipes

im a 16 yr old girl, 5’4”. ive lost 20 lbs, and im trying to lose the last few. ive been pretty good on my diet..i eat around 1200 calories a day. but i took 3 days off when i visited my grandma, and ate way too many sweets(cobbler, cake, brownies, gravy,sausage&biscuits, etc)..im trying to get back on track today…
so i had 10 large strawberries.
1 cup of mixed veggies (drained)
a salad(lettuce, medium tomato, a bit of celery, a bit of cucumber..no dressing)
then i had 150 calories of roasted garlic hummus, on a whole wheat pita muffin (100 calories)
then i had a slice of turkey (1/4 inches thick, 6” diameter…60 calories per 2 ounces..but im not sure how many ounces that was?) wrapped in lettuce and mustard

how many calories would you say i have eaten today? my mom made some vegetable stew for dinner..its cooked with meat in it..but if i only eat the veggies, will it be healthy, or will the juices from the meat still add calories? thanks!

ps. any diet tips, or advice, and low calorie recipes/snacks, etc are appreciated!!

Changed my diet, exercising daily for two weeks and no change ?

September 24th, 2010 admin

Pritikin Recipes

Okay so I had my son just over a year now and I still have some lingering body fat (I was 130lbs and hit 205 in my pregnancy) But now i’m 5’2 and 160lbs.

Honestly it fits my frame very nicely, no one believes my weight but i’m looking to shed some pounds. I never worked out prior to this. I am doing squats and lunges 2-3 times a week letting myself heal up between and i’m doing cardio at home(about 20-40mins) after researching a few videos on youtube.

I eat small meals daily, most of the time I cook up a bunch of lean chicken with light seasoning (no breading) and heat that up or add to salads. I munch on oranges, apples and I eat things like oatmeal for breakfast or some special K. Also, I drink loads and loads of water or 1% milk sometimes, never any soda’s or juice.

Well, this has been going on for about two weeks now and my weight hasn’t changed any. I’m not quite sure what I can do or if it’s just slow to start? Anyone have any tips for things I can do at home that doesn’t require equipment or any diet tips ?

Thanks in advance, I really appreciate it.
Well, I’m awake nights :-) I wake up about 2-3pm and I don’t sleep until 7am, My husband works overnight so it got me in that schedule.

NEED TO DIET… HELP PLEASE…?

September 21st, 2010 admin

Pritikin Recipes

I’ve been big my whole life, but right now I’m the biggest I’ve been since I graduated high school.

I currently weigh around 235 and 5’4"… I have a lot of muscle which I’ve always loved, but there is no denying, I need to lose weight.

The exercise thing, I’m working on, I know I need to be more active. I am lazy and that I’m trying to work on…

Right now, my boyfriend and I are living at his mother’s house so we can save up to buy our own place at the beginning of the year. It’s hard to actually cook dinner because we don’t want to impose on her, so all we have is a refrigerator and microwave. Not to mention healthy food is not cheap, especially when you are trying to save money.

I’ve been doing better on my portion sizes, but the bad food and bad habit of snacking is killing me… (Probably literally)…

Basically I need suggestions on diet tips for food that can be easily prepared, and even some exercise tips that could help me lose faster. I’d like to lose 40+ pounds by my birthday in September. (Aim high right?)
Ok, I mean meals.. I know what food is healthy for you… i.e.. Veggies, fruit, jello…

I want to actually eat a satisfying meal. Something that will make me feel good. I’m not going to eat some celery sticks and a cup of jello with a popcicle for desert… I need an actual meal.

I’m thirteen and have been a vegitarian for about a year. I want to become a vegan, but my diet lately has been going down hill. I’ve been eating mc.donalds for breakfast bread and a cookie for lunch and taco-bell for dinner. My mom does not cook, so I need things that are pre-packed or easy to pepare, or even fresh.I’m not picky.What shall I buy and do you have any diet tips? Also what are some ingredients that are animal derived?

What is a good diet? NEW YEARS RESOLUTION!!?

August 18th, 2010 admin

Pritikin Recipes

Yo, I’m 14 and i didnt really have a new years resolution until i realised my diet consisted of chips candy and starch… like seriously my friends mom made homemade stuffing tonight and I felt full and satisfied for the first time in about a month. And let me not forget that I have gained about 8 pounds over a 2 week holiday period. So My goal is to lose about 5 pounds. Anyone have any good diet tips or ways to resist sweets? Oh and some healthy dinner recipes would be nice. I’m pretty independent when it comes to cooking, so whatever you throw at me should be no problem at all…
