Ed Levine's Serious Diet: Week 1

I empathize with you! I am dieting myself right now and being SO strict (but still managing to eat well, natch) 9 pounds since Jan 2. Check out my Salmon with braised leeks and spinach. Yummy and I'm sure it has negative calories.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet: Week 1

I, too, am on Weight Watchers (at the Ansonia, but I go on Wednesdays at 6:30 with Robert, the hilarious gay WW meeting leader. When he says things like "honey, don't I know it" in response to people's frustrations I laugh and then feel better that I am sitting in a WW meeting.)

The Oreo 100-calorie packs are nice and satisfying.

I made the shrimp scampi with artichokes recipe that was on this site a little while ago and it was excellent - I replaced the 2 tbsp of olive oil called for by using a non-stick pan and spraying it with olive oil Pam. It had awesome flavor with the garlic and shallots, and shrimp is a great protein to eat on a diet. I even managed to find domestic shrimp to use in the dish, so I felt healthy and environmentally guilt-free.

great going! just be careful that you don't make yourself feel TOO deprived or you'll bust out big time {ask me how i know}.

try to stay out of restaurants when you're not eating for work. make it a habit to pack your own {unprocessed} food. you have total control of what goes in it, and it's so much cheaper and healthier.

keep up the exercise. that's really key. and you might want to consider taking up the suggestion of going to weight watchers. they teach valuable skills like how to measure portions and how to keep track of what you're eating. one of my friends dropped 40 pounds using the WW points system and is keeping it off just by weighing and measuring her food and being vigilant about keeping track of what she's eaten. i've lost 50 pounds, i have 30 more to go, and have been thinking about doing it myself.

About simply gluten free

Website: http://simplygluten-free.blogspot.com/

Location: Gulf Coast of Florida

About: I love food. I love to cook food, I love to eat food, I love to write about food, I love to take pictures and I really love to take pictures of food. I used to love gluten but it didn't like me so we broke up!

Favorite foods: I love cheap tacos and expensive champagne, the rich simple foods of Tuscany, the bright fresh flavors of Japan, hot spicy Indian food and all American hambugers (sans bun of course) with perfect french fries.

Last bite on earth: I know I am a trader to my fellow gluten-free peeps but if my last meal had no consequences I would devour a perfectly made spaghetti carbonara with some crusty bread dipped in olive oil and my chocolate chestnut cakes with tons of whipped cream.
