Low calorie meals

[fabemmy]

hi I am currently on a low calorie diet to lose weight to go on a holiday later this year and I am rubbish at cooking meals what have low calories.

does anyone know of any meals or foods that are low in calories to give me some ideas

i personally follow the slimming world which has worked wonders for me, you can eat as much as you like! and lose weight!! i have currently lost 2 and a half stone and im well on my way to my 3rd!!! nearly back to the size 12 i once was!! if u dont fancy that, the easiest things to cook is meat potato and veg,

try and think of your plate as if its slit into 6 parts, have 3 parts vegatables then 1part potato and 2 parts meat or have 1 part meat and 2 potato, you need to remember that protein (meat) and carbs(potato) digest through your system at totally different times, so eating them separatley means they pass through your system quicker! so you need to eat more of one and less of the other in any one meal.

seriously try the slimming world! doesnt feel like dieting!!! xx

I initally followed the three day diet - worked a treat to kick start my weight loss. see:

Now though I eat "normal" meals but try avoid red meat mainly (so its chicken or fish) and i grill rather than fry. and I keep a daily food diary and count my calories as i go along...I try stick to 800 - 1000 calories during the week , but on a weekend i eat around 1900 calories.

Once you get used to counting caloires it's easy.
