Heres something I think is REALLY important. Having foods available that are not only low in calories, but high quality and taste good. Who can honestly keep up on a diet of bad taste? Heres some categories and products I've found to be good, and anyone who cares to please follow with yours:
Vegetables: Green Giant frozen vegetables, with sauces, I would have to use a stick of butter to make veggies taste this good!
Soups: Campbells Select & Progresso. Sure, Healthy Choice soups are healthy, but they taste horrible!
Prepackaged foods: I really try to avoid them, but the south beach diet meals will taste just as good as any freezer meal and be much healthier.
Beverages: Hawaiian Punch Light (10 cal), Tropicana Twister Light (50 cal), and Gatorade Rain (50 cal) I personally do not like artificial sweeteners, and these products do a great job of blending natural with synthetic for an overall good taste. The gatorade rain does not contain any synthetic sweeteners, and is a real treat!
Beer: Bud Light Ice, 5.5% alc and 110 cal.
Seasonings/flavorings: Ms Dash salt free Grilling Blends. They are meat specific and great for quick cooking. KC masterpiece has a garlic & herb marinade that is not only great on meats but even better on vegetables. Gotta squeeze em down however you can!
So this is what I've found so far in my first 10 days of healthy eating. I would like everyone to post other things so we all know where to look when we goto the supermarket, instead of the fast food joint, pizza parlor, restaurant, grill, chinese..................................
