Thanks Mindy! Thanks for the tips! I like the Fage - haven't tried the Fit Crunch but I have seen them in stores. Thanks for watching!

We loooove our Ninja Creami! Although I find when I eat just that for lunch as a protein powder / fairlife milk / sugar free jello pudding combination, I get hungry later in the afternoon. Maybe because its so blended that it digests easier? So now I make it an after dinner treat. We are still experimenting with it!

Wonderful! Thanks for watching!

Thank you! You too!

You are so welcome!

Complex carbohydrates, which are found in many plant-based foods, are more nutritious than simple carbohydrates from sugary foods. They contain fiber and starches, and take longer to digest, releasing energy slowly and steadily throughout the day. Complex carbs are things like brown rice, Fruits, Whole grains, and Starchy vegetables: White and sweet potatoes, peas, and corn. Simple carbs are Candy, Honey, Soda (regular), Sugar (white, brown), White rice, White pasta. Personally I don't cut out any food groups. I do try to avoid sugar. We need carbs for energy and fiber. Try to focus on protein first - always eat your protein first, and then other foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, ect. I have noticed in the past that when I cut out carbs, I lose weight. But then as soon as I start eating carbs again, the weight comes back. Try to eat a variety of foods, just avoid junk food, sugar, and stuff like that.

@@thedownsized Thank you so much, BTW!? Where’s my ❤️🥲

Oops sorry ❤️😜

That does add an extra challenge - what do tips do you have

@thedownsized naturally all meals are limiting with breakfast it can be oatmeal with soft fruit like peaches or strawberry,blackberry but Raisen wound even be hard to chew but a prune would be larg enough and maybe put on the side not in as 1 example. I eat fried eggs no yoke with quinoa a little cheese and balsamic drizzle and sometimes cut up broccoli.

Swapping the eggs for lean ground turkey can make it lunch or dinner with adjusting portions to your hunger and calorie needs

I pre cook what meat I eat for the most part because my cane corso dog eats 1# of chicken breast a day with some dry food. I cook 15#of chicken breast 2 x a month just for her and freeze it. I cut me turkey or chicken breast across grain in 3/8"thick slices for me and about the same for ground turkey.

I do not use a microwave but an air fryer to heat food and many times I put the cut up cold meet in a 6"fry pan with 3 tbsp of water and cover it with a lid and in just 3 minutes it it hot ,ready drain water and serve. For you it could heat meat for taco or tortilla...
