You Can Try A healthy smoothie, like bananas, strawberries,and lots of ice in the blender and some low fat milk. It’s so good. After working out at the gym, I always drink that. Now if You want weight lost maybe you can add some kind of diet powder mix, like slim fast to it.
I am trying to loose weight but all recipes i come across online contain ingridents that are not easily available or are too expensive here in Nigeria. It is a bit difficult to find variety when the staple food around here is rice, yam, cassava and generally carbohydrate. All i get to eat is basmati rice (someone said it has less starch, i hope its true), beans, vegetable and fruits, this is getting a bit boring. Breakfast is ok cos i have variety of cereal like oat, weetabix, all bran, fruit & fibre e.t.c. Dinner is usually soup or fruit or vegetable (again). Am looking forward to some interesting menus to break the boredom that the diet has become.
did you ever try nigerian food? No?
Neither have the nigerians.
http://www.SixPackExposed.com – Low fat recipes is not the best way to lose weight, in fact, if you base your entire diet on foods without fat you can harm your body. Your body needs fat, except the right kinds of fat that help your body, not dangerous trans fats that are found in chips, fries etc.

Low fat recipes are not the solution for your weight loss… If you have tried, low fat diets, lower fat recipes, non-fat foods and everything else you can think of, but are not getting the results you want from your weight loss plan, then this article will show you how to eat more and lose more!
Now I know it sounds tempting and wierd to hear, “Eat more, lose more!”, but the truth of the matter is that it’s not eat more of anything you want, but rather eat more of the right foods in smaller portions more often. It is recommended to eat 6 times per day for maximum fatloss, but you cannot eat 6 large meals… You will need to eat 6 smaller, balanced meals.
The reason low fat recipes are not the answer is because your body actually needs FAT! Yes, your body needs fat in order to function correctly, but it’s not any kind of fat. It is good healthy fat your body needs, that can come from food such as olive oil, fish, almonds, other nuts, and avocado.
Bad fat would be candy, chips, french fries (or anything fried for that matter), and fatty meats such as pork chops etc. The reason these fats are bad for your looks, and also dangerous is because they are the types of fat that gets stored in your body and are the beginning of many common diseases.
If you think a low fat recipe will help you lose weight, you may be right, but it’s not the best or most logical solution for losing weight. Exercise and balanced diets will beat low fat recipes all day long!

I’m trying to loss weigh and am looking for some recipes that can help me complete this task.
.Eat chicken breast, no skin, and don’t fry it. Voila, lowfat.
I often bake my chicken or cook it on a George Foreman grill. One easy way is to take a large piece of aluminum foil, season a boneless chicken breast and place on foil, add vegges of your choice, top with light Italian salad dressing (or a low cal alternative), wrap in foil, and bake in 350° oven for an hour. Quick and easy. You can use all kinds of veggies so constantly change it up, as well as different kinds of seasonings and lowcal salad dressings (raspberry vinegarette works well also!)
Showcasing its most popular dishes the weight-loss gurus present more than two hundred delicious and healthy recipes for both classic comfort foods and zesty international specialties along with complete nutritional information for each recipe including listings for trans fats and highlighting those recipes from Weight Watchers’ CORE program.
How to make Lentil Walnut Veggie Burgers Video. Veggie Burgers are a nutritional alternative to beef burgers. Many people don’t think of making their own veggie burgers but they are really easy to make at home. Store bought veggie burgers are nutritional but often very high in sodium and preservatives. You can substitute the eggs in this recipe with “flax eggs” which are a mix of 6 tbsp ground flax to 2 tbsp boiling water. The milk in this recipe can be substituted with either soya milk or rice milk. This makes the recipe completely vegan!
Lentils are high in fiber which makes them a good protector against bowel cancer. I recommend organic, low sodium lentils if you are buying canned. They are an excellent source of protein and are an important source of B vitamins, especially B3, which is essential for both a healthy nervous system and digestive system. They are high in iron, zinc and calcium and are a good replacement for red meat. Like meat, the iron in lentils is better absorbed when they are eaten with a good source of vitamin C like leafy green vegetables.
Walnuts are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, a special type of fat that is essential for our bodies, but that the body cannot produce.
(Re omega 3 see also http://flaxseeds.blogspot.com )
Walnuts are also a very good source of monounsaturated fats.
Walnuts contain many powerful antioxidants, including ellagic and gallic acids, pus antioxidant phenols and vitamin E. The minerals copper and manganese are also found in abundance in these tasty nuts.

The fact that you are on a diet does not mean that your food must taste like diet food. In the contrary! If you want to lose weight effectively and in a healthy way, with a high chance of preventing it from coming back, than you must enjoy what you eat. Because that’s the only way how you will continue to eat this healthy food.
The problem why many fad diets fail is simply that you can’t keep on eating like that. And even if a restrictive diet does help you to lose weight – as soon as you finish the diet and return to your old eating habits, you will almost certainly pick up weight again.
But if you make lasting changes in your lifestyle and start eating healthier instead of going on a diet, then you have a high chance that you will not only lose weight but also keep it off afterwards. A healthy diet and weight is a lifetime commitment, not a 6-weeks affair. Eat healthy and you will be healthy, that’s the secret.
Try these three low-fat dishes that don’t taste like low-fat at all! They are healthy and easy to make, filling, high in nutrients and low in calories. And they are not "diet meals" but something you can enjoy.

Pasta With Mixed Vegetables And Cashews
Ingredients
* 200 g whole wheat pasta

3. Drain the pasta and serve it with the veggies.
All three recipes make four servings. They are based on large portions of vegetables and foods rich in complex carbohydrates (potatoes, whole grain bread and pasta) which will fill you long before you could possibly overeat. They provide you with important nutrients whilst being low in calories. No or little fat has been added to the recipes, and the ingredients are rather low in fat. This way, you can lose weight and still enjoy delicious meals of a reasonable portion size.
