Weight?

Question

I was overweight to begin with this pregnancy I went on the whole 30 and lasted 19 days but I couldn't eat the food anymore. I want to be healthy for myself and the baby!  What ideas does everyone have for clean eating? Breakfast snacks dinner?

Answer

The best way to stick to any kind of diet is not to call it a diet. Changing your lifestyle is the only way to keep the weight off.

When I think diet my stomach shouts pizza!

You can still have your favourite meals, but you need to adapt them to being more healthy. Cook everything from scratch. Reduce your sugars and salts. Drink more water. No boxed foods, no jars of pre-made sauces. More fruit and veg.

I have a smoothie for breakfast most mornings. Drink a rainbow. 
Salad with either chicken or tuna for lunch with a tablespoon of dressing 
Dinner is whatever I can be bothered making but always fresh

The occasional homemade vegetable soup 
Carrots cucumber an apple or protein shake for a snack

Answer

Good job on the 19'days! We lasted two weeks last time and I haven't told my husband yet but are starting again Thursday 💔🎉😆😂 we both need to get Healthy and I am overweight. Have you tried Pinterest for recipe ideas? Or check out Paleo. They are a good way of living. Not as strict as the whole30 but a lot like it!

Answer

Lots of vegetables (like 90% of your meals).

Fruit and dairy in moderation only.

Skip processed carbs like bread and rice.

No junk food, no fast food, no soda.

Replace meat with fish and beans/lentils.

If you do eat meat then no red meat, stick to chicken or turkey in single serving sizes.

Drink tons of water and don't eat after 6pm.

Example:
Breakfast: Half an avocado baked with an egg, black coffee or plain green tea, half a grapefruit.

::Drink water::

Morning snack: baby carrots & cucumber slices with 2tbsp of light ranch.

::Drink water::

Lunch: Greek salad (feta,cucumber,red onion, green bell pepper, tomatoes) with a home made Greek vinaigrette dressing. An apple and single serving of almonds or peanuts. Ice water or hot lemon water to drink.

::Drink water::

Afternoon snack: celery with low sugar peanut butter spread.

::Drink water::

Dinner: Salmon baked with halved baby tomatoes with steamed green beans. A spinach salad with a homemade vinaigrette dressing.

::Drink water::

Evening snack or dessert: half an apple baked with a tsp of honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon and a single serving glass of milk.

::Drink water::

Answer

I always eat fruits for breakfast and for snacks I have yogurt or something like that. I like oatmeal too. I'm not concerned with loosing weight , I'm just making sure that I don't eat anything too unhealthy. Being said my cravings for McDonald's are getting redicilous it's so so hard to control myself 😂😂😂😂😂

My favorite breakfast is whole grain toast with avacodo and a little salt :)

Answer

Hi,
I understand your battle. Kale is a super food I've just added to my diet. I cook kale and onions till it's nice and tender. Then I use it to add to scrambled eggs or omlets. Eat more whole grains . switch to brown rice and start measuring your food... Do you walk? It helped me a lot
