I am trying to find a safe, effective detox diet menu that I could use in conjunction with an herbal kit.
Lots of:
Vegetables (steamed, not raw)
Clear vegetable based broths
Poached fish or chicken breast (use the water for a soup)
Fresh non-citrus fruit juices (buy a juicer, it’s worth the $$)
Brown rice, whole grain pasta and potatoes (sweet or white) – go easy on these portions
No:
Oils/fats of any kind (incl. margarine)
Refined sugars of any kind
Caffeine
Diet sodas or teas or drinks
Bread of any kind
Definitely no alcohol
Salt
NB: Do not bother to count calories – these good calories will nourish your body while the herbs do the work.
2 weeks and you’ll feel awesome. Good luck!
A couple times a week I eat a Smart Ones or Healthy Choice frozen meal for lunch. Is this really a healthy thing to do?
Are those frozen weight loss meals really good for you?
not at all….reading the list of ingredients tells you how healthy a food item truly is. the longer the list of ingredients the more processed a food item is and the less healthy it is.
there is a lot more to healthy eating then counting calories, carbs, etc. the source of calories is more important than the calories themselves. frozen foods are heavily processed and are loading with various additives and preservatives which are nothing but chemicals. the less chemicals that you put in your body on a daily basis the healthier you will be in the short and long term. remember you are what you eat
I just had a baby and am looking to start a "total meal" diet like Nutri-system to shed the pounds. I am wondering what options are out there and success stories. Also, could you include a round-about cost so I can plan accordingly?
I am also starting a workout routine as well so I’m trying to set realistic goals so no diet pills for me.
Thank you for all your help!
I know someone who did Nutra-Sysytem and lost about 20 pounds on it. Not sure of the cost. I did Slim Fast before my wedding, which is fairly cheap and simple, but not easy. You need to make sure you’re getting enough calories if you’re breastfeeding, though, and clear any diet changes with your doctor.
Has anyone tried the ediets delivery program while breastfeeding?? Is it safe? does it work?
I have never tried it but I am breastfeeding. I think it might be ok unless they add any weight loss enhancing vitamins or minerals to their food that wouldn’t normally be in there. However the biggest concern would be maintaining your proper calorie intake. So if you do decide to do it check out the calories you will be eating with that food and maybe bump it up by adding some extra snacks like fresh fruit smoothies or veggies to make sure you get the right about to keep up your supply.
I try and eat heathy and have a "cheat meal" once every other week and holidays. My husband and I are moving on thursday and we always get pizza when we move, so I will have that. Then we are going to the beach the next week and I am sure we will get something during the day. I feel like lots of things are coming up when I am trying to be good. What things do YOU go off your diet for? Just curious!
usually my birthday, and once a month..barely. i try and be really good. but one a week is just fine, as long as it isint like every day

Hey Ruddsta! Awesome job trying to get your diet setup. Your diet will be key to success but it doesn’t have to be difficult. I understand the nutrition guide can be intimidating but it will start to make more sense as you go. Focus on 5-6 meals a day (3 solid meals and 2-3 snacks). Now I am not a nutritionist so I can’t give you nutrition consultation but I can tell you what i do and what has worked from me. Play with these ideas and modify to your liking. If these don’t fit your tastes let me know – Here are some things I use.
Portions:
Chicken 1/2 Breast
Sliced Ham: 2-3 Clicse
Tuna: 1 Can
Pork: 1 chop
* I don’t eat red meat though on a very rare occasion I’ll treat myself to a nice juicy burger on the grill – I pick the leanest ground beef possible and usually fill a 1/3 cup and then form the patty. Put this on a whole wheat burger bun – Add some Pickles – Ketchup and or mustard – Lett – Tom – Onion. You’ve got yourself a delicious but not really all that bad meal. Just make sure it’s the leanest beef you can find like 97/3 meat/fat or even 98/2. This is a good treat every once in awhile to say thank to yourself.
Some Carb portions:
Whole Grain Pasta: 1/2 Cup
Whole Wheat Bread: 1 Slice as a side meal or if your making a sandwich then 2 slices.
Rice: 1/2 Cup Cooked
Veggies:
With anything you want to eat within reason though veggies don’t matter as much – It’s the condiments you add that make it bad. Avoid butter and salt if you can.
Sometimes a nice treat would be a Baked Sweet Potato Topped with a Tablespoon of Dark Brown Sugar. If your like me I love my sweets so this is a way for me to cheat myself into thinking it’s desert 
.
Some of my meals:
Breakfast
1/2 Cup Egg White (Sometimes a whole egg with 1/4 Cup Egg Whites)
2-3 Slices of Ham or Turkey pan fried in veggie oil or Dry
1 Slice Wheat Toast with 2 Tablespoons of all Natural Peanut Butter
Coffee or OJ or just Water
Lunch
1 Can Tuna
1-2 Tablespoons low fat mayo
*Sometimes it’s good to toss in some raisins or some apple junks to your tuna salad – Adds variety.
2 Slices of Whole Wheat Bread (7 Grain, Russian Dark, Rye, etc. Switch it up weekly)
Some lettuce and tomato – Maybe onion if you like.
Usually I do 1 Cup of Low Sodium V8 and add another 1 Cup of water – *This fills a Pint glass 
.
Dinner
1/2 Chicken Breast
1/2 Cup Dry Whole Wheat Pasta
* I vary my type of noodles just to change it up. Like macaroni, penne, spaghetti, etc.
3-4 Tablespoons crushed or minced tomato from a can – This is the straight up tomato, not marinara.
For a side sometimes I’ll add 1/3-1/2 Cup Fat Free Cottage Cheese
Snack Ideas
1 Power Bar Protein Plus
1 Beachbody Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bar
1 Protein Shake
*2 Cups Milk Or Soy or a Combination, 2 Scoops Whey Protein Isolate or Isolate/Concentrate Mix, 1/4 Egg White, if you have a blender you can add a couple table spoons natural Peanut Butter for added protein. If you add peanut butter I suggest cutting the milk to 1 Cup and adding water, otherwise this shake will be thiiiiiick. I wouldn’t add peanut butter without a blender cause it won’t mix well otherwise and Make Sure it’s smooth and not chunky style!*
1/2 C No Fat Yogurt (Varies your flavors each time) with 1/4 Cup whole wheat natural cereal like Kashi Brand or some low fat granola. Add some Vanilla or Chocolate Soy milk on top. Slice up a banana on top. This is a full snack to get you through several hours.
Hope this helps
