Why is everything delicious so fattening?

[cyrus7]

so I'm on a diet to lose fat, but everything delicious is so calorie rich, >:(

what are some delicious things that are not high on calories?

Mix milk, frozen bananas and other fruits and berries in a blender, tastes great! I usually add protein powder too after working out.

You can also make amazing sandwiches with chicken and tomatoes and cheese and ..well anything! There's low fat popcorn, dried fruit and nuts.

I think anything spicy is really good and some spices even burn calories.

[cyrus7]

cheese is highfat

[just_tired]

omg! Are you kidding me? That is a bit obsessive.. A little slice of cheese isn't going to make you gain fat. A good diet means eating healthy and balanced and if you want lose weight, you just eat less than you use in a day. It's not rocket science. You need to get fat from somewhere. If you don't your body doesn't work or rebuild properly and your joints get weaker.

Vegetables, pasta with a fairly low calorie sauce, , lean fish, nonfat yogurt...there a re a lot of choices.

Cuz mama said food is the devil. Ever try skinny cow? Its has good low fat ice cream products. But the thing is don't be afraid to indulge a little just look up low fat recipes. The more you try to cut sweets out for your life cold turkey the more you over eat it.

Calories don't mean much assuming you're getting enough exercise in... also there are plenty of foods out there that are delicious inaddition to being healthy for you

Just look around on google for foods that have low calories that taste good too link

[TheoryOfAvarice]

Any type of fresh fruit, rice cakes(I love them), anything like that. If you still need sweet treats though, weight watchers has a lot of different things to try. Also, stuff like getting lean pockets instead of hot pockets and going for the healthy request soup instead of the normal stuff can really help.

Grilled chicken, if you want something sweet eat fruits, mix up having raw and cooked vegetables so they can always taste different or try seasoning them differently, different flavors of yogurt, try adding a little bit of lemon or lime juice to water

I know. It makes me so sad. I have not had anything with added sugar in over a year now. Snap peas are my dessert because I'm pathetic.

[iXenomorph]

There's nothing delicious that is not high on calories. Life sucks.

And some of you girls are going to give him some "yogurt with berries" holistic crap food. I hate that stuff.

[alltheabove1212]

I think because gaining fat helped people survive and was thus enjoyed in the early history of man. I don't know I read an article about it somewhere

[Anonymous]

When cooking, focus on adding spices that will add flavor instead of fats. Things can be good if they're baked, boiled, stewed just add more veggies and seasoning

[foolycooly1001]

spicy stuff. eat indian and middle eastern food(but watch out for falafel!)

[Fiona83]

Yeah, falafel are fried...but so delicious!

[Anonymous]

Ice water after working out is delicious.

Egg whites with veggies and fresh cut salsa are delicious.

[asianfreak]

because there is stuff added to give those foods its taste, and many of those things negatively affect many people's health

[Anonymous]

[LonelyandInTheDark]
