What can I have for dinner when on a diet?!


Question: What can I have for dinner when on a diet?
Today I went out early and had a run/walk (8.15).
I then came back at 8.50 and had a small portion of Special K Original cereal with semi-skimmed milk (box was running out and had the remains) and a 'go smart' apple nutri-grain bar.
For lunch I only had an apple and a Skinny Vanilla Latte.
What should I have for dinner?

You need to incorporate much more of all the basic food groups into your diet and vary what you eat. Breakfast you mentioned is okay, but you need to add a piece of fruit to it. Lunch was ridiculous> you could've had a huge green salad with lo-fat dressing and served yourself much better; a hardboiled egg or some diced turkey on top of the salad would've been good too. Finally, your best dinner options are skinless boneless chicken breast, sliced sirloin steak, or fish baked in the oven. You can have this with steamed veg. w/ lemon and another salad, or a baked potato with salsa and some lo- or no- fat sour cream; steamed rice, what have you.
But you do need to balance your meals better and be drinking more milk (nonfat or lowfat.)
Think about something like wholewheat English muffin with a thin spread of butter and some sliced banana, accompanied by an orange, or some wheat toast with an egg scrambled in a nonstick pan. Wheat waffles (frozen) topped with cottage cheese and a drizzle of honey, with a cup of juice of a piece of fruit; a wheat burrito rolled around refried beans, salsa and avocado. Your lunches could be half a tuna or turkey or lean roast beef sandwich with fruit and some milk, too.
Give it more thought. You're literally starving yourself with what you're doing now and there are easier and healthier ways to lose weight, but you need to feed yourself while you do it, or you're doomed to get hungry or get a craving and blow it.



For starters, you should have eaten more at lunch. Don't starve yourself. When you starve yourself, your body clings on to the fat, so you could have at least had something more. For me, the perfect diet lunch is a fruit salad with pomegranate. Tasty and healthy. For dinner, you can bake some potatoes and add a little sour cream if you would like, and serve with a glass of no-fat milk.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you do not eat a good lunch, you will start snacking after a few days which will keep weight on you. A slice or two of beef, or chicken, or turkey without bread. Roll it up in a lettuce leaf. Sliced tomatoes with this would be good. You can get sliced meats of all types at your grocery store in plastic containers or have the deli slice it for you fresh.

A hard boiled egg or two makes a good lunch. Pepper (best would be cracked pepper) will make it taste better. A pinch of salt is not going to make a difference.
OR two eggs scrambled with one piece of toast makes another good lunch. Add sliced tomatoes on the side.

Around two or three o'clock snack on raw vegetables or sliced tomatoes.

Dinners should be:
One meat, or chicken, or fish;
One vegetable;
One starch such as rice, or potatoes, or beans.



Almost all diet pills say "only works in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise program" Diet pills are unhealthy and ineffective. They can kill. You want to be there for your baby, not die trying to lose weight unhealthily. There may not be time to exercise but you can always improve your diet. Just cut down on portions. Losing weight = 25% exercise, 75% diet.

Avoid huge meals with refined carbs and processed oils.
A salad is a good choice, or some fish with vegetables.
However, whatever you choose for dinner, a very important point to consider is the time you have dinner.
The earlier the better. Try to have your dinner at least 3 to 4 hours before you sleep.

Hiya! About all this diet plans and exercise that are out there, yes they probably work really fine, but only so long as you stay on them. IF you seriously want to lose weight and get healthy and stay that way, it’s only one thing for you to do (in my humble opinion) that is to change your way of thinking! Eat ordinary healthy (organic) food and then you walk, swim and cycle, and for more all round training do some workout.

Eat breakfast (06.00-08.00), One in between meal before lunch (07.30-11.30), Lunch (11.00-14.00), coffee/tea break (14.00-17.00), and then dinner (17.00-19.00). Imagine your dinner plate, divide it to 3 parts. Half the plate should be greens and veggies, 1/3 pasta, potatoes, rice, bulgar, and the rest of the plate some kind of protein, whatever it’s meat, chicken or veggie alternative.
Drink lots of water, preferably still water, add a lemon, lime or cucumber into the water that will make the water get a more fun way of drinking it. No diet soda, due to the artificial sugar that it’s in it, that can even do that you gain weight!

There is a saying: “It all about deposits and withdrawals”, what I mean with that is: What you are putting into your mouth, you must “pay” for it, by gaining in weight and/or get bad health.
I have lost 25 kg in 5 month by doing this, and my blood pressure is going down to normal, end that with out exercising so much, due to flu and my illness (Fibromyalgia).
But I have treated my self with both some chocolate bars, and good food some times.

I found these websites that helped me a lot, to achieve MY goals. I hope they will help you too!
Good luck with your goals!
Cheerio, Tina
