What foods to have when dieting?

Unless you're trying to lose weight only temporarily, diets don't work. You need to change eating habits.

I've lost 30 lbs since last Nov by totally eliminating refined sugar and cutting way back on refined carbs: white flour - breads and pastas. I eat a big mixed salad every day with a grilled chicken strip and homemade vinagrette dressing and an apple. For breakfast I have a banana and a bowl of low-sugar high fibre or high protein cereal, and for dinner a grilled piece of meat and veggies or brown or black rice.

For snacks, I eat sugar-free peanut butter or protein bars or celery sticks.

Depends on your calorie intake-
I personally prefer- boiled eggs, rice, whey protein, green vegetables & fruits...

Frankly I would try to cut sugar for 1-2 months.
Drink a great amount of water daily.
Eat more greens & fruits with balance protein
Drink protein shakes when missing meals cuz overload of work
I love seafood, it helps but I can’t eat too much of it
I enjoyed eating toasts and trying creative things with it
Greek yogurt bowls I make to make it yummy and appealing for myself haha


You gotta enjoy the diet food you choose or it will feel like a chore/distasteful

Cutting sugar - good idea

[bobalife]

Your welcome! Definitely feels good and makes a difference, but tbh it’s also super hard because I have a sweet tooth 😭😂

Just avoid all fatty, fried, sugary and processed junk and you’ll be fine. Some carbs are fine. Avoid alcohol and salt bc bloating is enemy #1 and hampers the body’s ability to filter and process stuff (though one weekly glass of wine is apparently good for heart health). Portions are more important than cancelling foods from your diet.

Ah, dieting, my not-so-favorite pastime, but hey, we've all been there, right? When I am trying to keep it light but still want to enjoy my meals, I lean towards the classics from my favorite cuisines but with a healthy twist. For instance, a nice piece of grilled salmon sushi-style from the Japanese kitchen is a go-to. Or, exploring the beauty of a well-made Caprese salad – simple, Italian, and absolutely delicious. And let's not forget about all the incredible soups and salads out there; they can be quite the flavor bomb without all the extra calories. 🍣🥗 Remember, it's all about balance and finding those dishes that satisfy without weighing you down!

My personal advice is learn to eat in moderation and healthier food choices. Try opting for healthy options when possible.

What is the diet's objective?

A calorie deficit is how you lose weight

Less calories in, more out.
