I am not obese but the weight has been creeping up over the last few years (20 lbs.) . I eat very healthy, very little meat, don't drink milk, no sodas, no fast food, lots of whole grains, fruits, vegs, and I exercise, it's still creeping up. What else do I have to do. Very discouraging.
Oh, and I don't even eat dinner. Last meal is tea and toast at 4pm.
------------------------
Skip the toast and have a nice, big salad. Use rich dressing, but have it on the side and dunk your fork in it and THEN gather up the veggies in the salad. That way you can still taste the dressing and not have many extra calories. I make a Blu Cheese dressing a local restaurant her has specialized in for a long time. The recipe was given to me over 45 years ago by the chef!! Everyone in the family loves it so the kids ate salads at home most of the time, especially in summer. I thin it a little more with buttermilk and put the salad in a huge plastic Tupperware container with lid and shake it all up. Gets a thin layer of dressing on every part of the salad.
