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.

My question again was about diet cooking tips and there have been some great answers
