Any favorite healthy foods/recipes? Exercises? Any tips or advice offered would be great. My day to start dieting is this sunday.

She said its basically like the LA weight loss diet. Do you know any groups or blogs that talk about it? DO you have any tips or experience? I need to know some recipes involving chicken for the first 7 weeks, bear in mind I am very picky. What about snacking on things? What can you use? And dill spears count as a veg? Thank you!

Something they will help diet and also cange bad eating habits.

I don’t want a book that will just tell you about dieting but also provide a resource. Like food suggestions/recipes and exercise tips, ideas, and indexes.

Things like that.

My 15 yr old cousin was recently diagnosed with high cholesterol and has been eating all the wrong things, her mother still buys the high fat snacks for her siblings, but expects the 15 yr old not to eat them. SHe has been found with junk food stashes and this is getting out of hand, she is afraid to diet because she thinks she has to give up all the foods she loves for "rabbit food". If anyone has any ideas or recipes pack with alot of flavor but not alot of fat please pass them along.

I was just diagnosed today with gastroparesis and would like to see what diet would be best for me. If you have any adivce, suggestions or recipes that would be great!

I’m 14 years old 5′1” and 145 pounds. I’m trying to find ways to lose weight being a vegetarian. Almost everything I look at ( what your supposed to eat, recipes etc.) says to eat meat/fish at least once a day for protein to help you lose weight. Can someone please give me things to eat everyday being a vegetarian and exercises to do to help me lose weight?

I’ve been working out consistently for about a year, but my weight loss has been really slow. I’ve only lost about 15-18lbs. I’ve also changed my diet and started eating a lot healthier. I haven’t been intaking much protein and I believe that is a reason why my weight loss has been slow. How much protein should I take to speed up my weight loss? Are there any recipes, shakes or vitamins I should be taking?
I workout at least 3-4x a week. On average I’m at the gym for 1hr. – 1.5hrs. I’ve been attending the RPM & Body Pump classes at least 2x a week. On the other days I’m doing cardio and weightlifting. I also do resistence training.

I recently found out that I have an allergy to most meat and dairy products (possibly the hormones that are used) and have been told by friends to either by organic meat or choose a vegetarian/vegan diet. I would I go about starting a strict diet like that? Tips? Recipes? Anything would help thanx = )
Any quick snacks to ease the cravings for meat?
