Yumm  Pizza, pasta no wonder you have to keep the will power up.

I will make a chicken pasta meal that I like from time to time.  I use.

1/2 lb Brown rice pasta, I like pene
1.25 lb seasoned Grilled chicken breast cut into pieces

In a large bowl add olive oil, sea salt, course ground pepper, Italian seasoning blend, dash or 2 of garlic and onion powder.

Add half pasta and half the chicken to bowl and mix.  Add grated parmesan or blend of type cheese and mix in.

Add more olive oil, seasonings and the other half pasta, chicken and more chesse  :) mix up. 

Cover put in micro to heat more for 90 seconds or so.  Remove, drizzle small amount of olive oil on top add a few more shakes of chesse, toss and enjoy! Very good cold too.

I dont measure stuff just go by instinct LOL.  This usually is 2 meals for me.  Yes its far from diet food LOL.

Thanks it is very tasty.  I don't eat much pasta now a few too many carbs for me, but a might do it here and there for a change of pace.  I found that the tomato based pasta sauce or as my Grandma used to call it "gravy" gave me too much heartburn sometimes, so i came up with this.

Yep it is pretty healthy if you go light on the salt and cheese  :)  I have been thinking about adding some broccoli to it also.

Keep with it and you will amaze yourself i bet!

Like Luv said, I'm not to thrilled with the looks of that diet, but to echo, if it works then great. Either way, I'd cut the milk out completely...skim or not, it still has a lot of sugar in it, and that's not good for anything.

The biggest thing I don't like is your diet is almost all carbs...there is hardly any fat or protein in it. I know, some will scream that Medford is not trying to follow some strict BB style diet. Well, that's fine, but every diet needs those nutrients in it.

More then anything, I hate seeing the fruit juice in there...it's simply not necessary and has zero benefit other then taste.

Those are all fine choices...also, lean cuts of beef, such as fillet or top round a few whole eggs mixed in there (a lot of benefits with whole eggs) good fish protein, tilapia, flounder, cod...salmon for a bit of fat...protein powder should always be isolate IMO instead of concentrate...concentrat e is pure garbage and a waste of money.

gimmie something to work with here

egg whites, chicken, beef, turkey, salmon, tuna, : good protein
 
good carbs: brown rice, multigrain pasta, potatos,

Medford, just make meals for yourself for the whole week like Rip it up said, that way you have them ready to eat,,remember it's still ok to have a snack here and there but make sure you are getting your daily intakes of everything..remember ,,mix it up,,you dont always have to eat chicken for every meal..u can have turkey burgers on the barbecue,,or salmon from a sushi joint,,... it doesnt have to be boring..goodluck,



a few good choices:  terriyaki chicken bowl,,, chicken, brown rice, brocilli, terriayki sauce

                             beef bowl::  beef, brown rice, veggies

                          turkey burgers with cheese

                        chicken and pasta   

                                                      use 6 oz of chicken and a cup or 2 of rice with each meal


                                            try to cut back on the juice and maybe try some other sugar free juices, but you dont have to cut out completely,,instead of drinking a full cup of juice,,pour a half cup of sugar drinks when u need them,,but otherwise try and stay away from them,,after u start drinking sugar free juice,,u wont wanna go back,,it taste good,


  tuna with lowfat cheese

 salmon with a baked potato ,,,,also try and drink a protein shake daily..



snacks:::   celery with pnut butter, low fat yogurt, fruit, veggies, almonds,,



maybe get a wok,,,cook all those things in it,,portion them into ready to eat containers,,then u have a bunch of meals for the week,,

IMO, protein powder should preferably be blends, with at least some caseinate in them.

If you're going to drink them between meals, and at nights.

It will keep you full longer.

Medford, try to eat more more fish, and like Arnold jr writes, add a few whole eggs every other day to your diet.

Mix it up.

If you eat a little more good fats such as olive oil (eg use it with a salad), you will have a much better control of your low blood sugar.


Fact is, if you have low blood sugar, you should probably avoid any kind of fast carbs, that would get the blood sugar real high, and then send it CRASHING.

Stick with slow carbs, protein and good fats. Perhaps even buy a book on Glycemic Index, and how to eat according to it.

I will admit here, that the serious and good advice on a few threads has been a very useful tool

That's why I am open to suggestions (that make sense)

FACTS:

1.  I started overweight.  I was not overweight in h.s. or college.  my weight gain was self imposed as an adult

2. The weight gain happened over a period of 10 to 15 years

3.  I only started training (regularly) two months ago

4. I only tweaked my diet over a two to three week period (at first I was ravishingly hungry from going from zero to almost an hour, of excersize)

Great info in this thread...and great pics Medford!  Next time, bring the camera a little closer!!   :D

You're doing well, and you would benefit from incorporating some of the diet suggestions, esp with regards to protein.  Find a nice chinese restaurant and have them steam a filet of fish for you...it's fantastic all by itself if it's nice and fresh.  The local Chinese restaurant here does steamed red snapper that's tough to beat even when you're not dieting.

Keep with it...the more results you see, the more motivated you get...that's the way it goes. So things are just starting to get good now.

I'm sure someone can...where's knny when you need him?   :D
You were an adorable little girl!! 

If you weren't fat from birth, then it's all about lifestyle and habits, and it will be no problem for you to acheive whatever physique you want.   :)

yeah note the panelled walls...obviously I was in a house of ill repute.

Those are my Pearl Harbor weapons...one oz vodka, one oz midori, pineapple juice.

the Red Sox shirt was a gift...it was hard to wear that stuff before they started winning!

That's very inspirational!


And it brings up a question I have for the "experts." :)

I know if you plan to do 2 cardio sessions and one lifting session in one day that it's better to do your cardio sessions hours apart.  But what if you need to do all 3 sessions (2 cardio plus weight-training) at one time?  Is it actually detrimental to the body?  Would taking in a protein shake help or is it better to just skip one cardio session that day?
