Food advice?

Question

So I need some friendly diet tips and advice. I've been tracking carbs and calories, writing down everything i eat, exercising and walking between 1.5 - 2.5 miles a day. My health coach says I'm doing great but i need to amp it all up and try to find info about foods high in protein/low in carbs. So i guess basically what I'm asking is what kinda foods do you guys eat that has helped you llse or maintain your weight? I really want to lse some so i can be healthy l, conceive and hopefully one day fit into my jeans i wore a year ago. HELP!

Answer

Would you mind posting a day or 2 of your food log?  Maybe we could help better that way..  I think far too many people have no idea what to actually eat, like thinking yogurt and granola is good or something.  Might as well eat a candy bar😋

Answer

It’s not always about calories in versus calories out. And it’s especially not always about cutting carbs. If you can afford a real heath coach, shouldn’t they be giving you the basic information you seek?

Answer

I still eat carbs, but no gluten (or gluten-free processed stuff) so: yams, rice, potatoes. I also don't eat sugar in any form. So helpful!

Answer

Breakfast for me will either consist of 2 scrambled eggs with grilled mushrooms and half and avocado or a bowl of oatmeal with fresh fruit or if I'm in a hurry a banana and black iced coffee. 
Any snacks throughout the day may be fruit either an apple orange or nuts (almonds mostly or a trail mix)
Lunch will contain my protein and veggies (grilled chicken, salmon, steamed broccoli/asparagus, fajitas)
Then I keep my dinner light so it's not too heavy on my stomach for digestion, that's just my personal preference,  and I'll have a salad loaded with veggies and feta cheese :) I ALWAYS start the morning with warm water and lemon. And lots and lots of water throughout the day. No sodas or sugary drinks. Limit to dark chocolate if I have a sweet tooth. Just an idea for a day, if you have any questions let me know :)

Answer

If your health coach told you to find more foods high in protein/low carb, then awesome! That is how I eat to lose weight. This is what I eat daily when I am losing weight: 
Breakfast - an egg scramble with turkey, scallions, and feta. Or an omelet with tomatoes and olives. I like putting salsa or guacamole on my eggs too. 
Snack - a handful of almonds and some beef jerky 
Lunch - a salmon, egg, and sweet potato muffin. Also some pork rinds dipped in guacamole. 
Dinner - chicken and black beans. Or pork roast and vegetables. Or sausage and cauliflower rice. 
I actually follow the Slow Carb diet, which is high protein/low carb, no sugar for 6 days and then eat whatever you want on the 7th. In the past month I have lost 8 pounds. But I only was strict with it 2 weeks. Other weeks if I added fruit or chocolate then I did not lose weight. 
Good luck! 🍀
