Ok, so my diet isn’t an "unhealthy" one, I don’t eat much fast food, and I don’t eat much meat. What I am pretty much asking for is suggestions on shopping, good recipes and good ways to make different healthy foods. I don’t feel like I am getting the proper nutrients from the food that I am making now.

My biggest problem is not knowing what to buy at the store to incorporate into a meal….what are some good staples?

The reason I am having such a hard time with this is because when I was growing up, every meal consisted of meat as the main course, and potatoes as a side dish…My diet now leans more towards vegetarianism, but I do eat fish and "poultry on occasion" and I mostly only eat meat if I eat out.

I rarely cook with meat so pretty much, grocery shopping and my diet are so much different than the one my mom taught me that I am totally lost as to how to go about it….any suggestions?
I am posting this again, just in a different section, I didn’t really get the answers I was looking for in the diet and fitness section…I want to make this more clear. I am looking for recipes, or even just suggestions on foods to make, using healthy products. I am also asking for suggestions on what to buy, since my diet is much different than the meat and potatoes diet that I grew up on, I am lost as to how to go about shopping andI feel nutrient starved…

if you could help that would be awesome

A friend of mine has a daughter who really needs to lose some weight. She just turned 13, and she is over weight by about 10 pounds. What is an easy to stick to diet that doesn’t involve going to great lengths like ordering some brands of planned-out diets or cooking especially elaborate meals? If you could just give me some simple tips, that would really help. Thanks in advance!!

3. Can I lose fat and get fit over the summer for middle school?

I eat all the right foods already. I cook w/olive oil, whole wheat bread, eat vegetables and fruit, and drink plenty of water. I don’t enjoy junkfood much, almost never but I’ve been stuck home for the past 6 mo. after my last baby and I don’t exercise. I have 3 babies (4, 3, and 6 mo.) and I’m very occupied w/my kids especially during the seasonal changes because 2 of my babies have asthma and I know I haven’t focused on myself. I was able to loose the weight from both of my other babies but these 20 lbs just seem to be very stubborn. What is the average weekly/monthly weight loss from walking 1/2 hr. every day w/out changing your diet? Any other exercise or daily routine tips are welcomed as well. Thank you in advance! By the way, my last birth was a c-section, the other were normal. Does this have to do with the stubborn weight issue?

Hi!
Wondered if there is some well-known popular medical recommendations what food may be eaten and what shouldn’t if one suffers from the biliary dyskinesis.

In Russian medicine there are renowned medicine diets so called tables, they are numbered, for example, Diet ?5 is designed specially for ones suffered from the stated disease. In that diet for instance spinach is prohibited. I just want to find resources in English of something similar but in a meantime failed to find.
