What foods are good for dieting? Any vegetables or fruits? I need to loose about 35 pounds and I exercise?

Lots of fruits and veggies are great for weight loss. Lean proteins like chicken turkey and fish are amazing as well.

I changed my diet significantly 4-5 months ago to lose weight and i know how boring it can get with just plain fruits and plain veggies and chicken cooked the same way every night. I eat t he same types of foods every meal, just made a different way. For lunch, i generally just have veggies. Sometimes i’ll add a protein but usually i save that for dinner. I cook veggies by either just boiling them…a lot of the time i’ll stirfry them though (that’s my favorite). Cut up whatever veggies you want but keep each to 1-2 cups per veggie and put them in a skillet with 1/2 cup of water and let them cook til they’re as soft as you like. I personally prefer a little crunch to them but that’s just me. Once they’re to how you like, add 1-2 tablespoons of soy sauce for flavor and let them cook and stir them for another 4-7 minutes and you’re good to go. Sometimes i’ll add 1/2 cup of brown rice as well. Another way to cook veggies is to bake them. Put 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a baggie with salt and pepper as you like it and cut up the veggies you want and put them in the baggie and shake til they’re well covered. Then pour the veggies into a pouch-like thing you’ve made out of aluminum foil, place on a cookie sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes at 300. Then take it out, open the aluminum foil and put it back in under the broiler at a low level (around 2) for 5 minutes and they’re done.

For protein things… I like making squash and mixing pieces of stirfried chicken in. Bake the squash as usual. For the chicken, you can either use a tablespoon of olive oil or just non-stick spray on a skillet and cook til done and mix. You can also cut up onion, carrots and a potato; make the same pouch-like thing out of aluminum foil (only double it up in case juices leak) and place the veggies and chicken breast in the aluminum foil sprinkle 1/2-1 teaspoon of chicken powder on top, wrap it up and bake for an hour at 350. You can also just do the stirfried veggies with stirfried chicken (cooked the way i already stated for both; only cook chicken first, then add veggies) and that’s great as well.

I have more recipes but these are my favorite; very healthy and not a ton of calories either!

I forgot about breakfast…it’s not the biggest meal for me so it usually just leaves my mind. I go small for breakfast because i’m never hungry in the morning. I usually have a yogurt and some granola mixed in or the fiber one cearal (a lot of fiber is good for you by the way). Or i’ll hard boil 3-4 eggs and eat the egg whites and give the yolks to my dogs. Sometimes if i am feel extra hungry, i’ll do a 2-3 egg white omelet with 1/4 cup co-jack cheese, 1/4 cup mushrooms, 1/4 cup onions and half of 1/4 cup diced half. While getting the egg whites ready, pull out another little skillet and put like a teaspoon of olive oil in it and pour the ham, mushrooms and onions in and cook for a few minutes. The onions are amazing soft and it just all around tastes better when everything in the omelet is hot.

i dont know. im a meat eater wanting to gain 120 – 180 strength weight

Are you weight training? Each lb of muscle you have can raise your basal metabolic rate by 50 calories, which means if you build 10lbs of muscle you will burn an extra 3500 calories a week just by it being there. In order to lose one lb of fat you have to create a deficit of 3500 calories. Here’s a general diet plan you can use…

All meals spaced apart evenly.
Meal 1) 1 cup of steel cut oats+ whey isolate
Meal 2) 10 egg whites + some veggies
Meal 3) 6oz ground turkey, veggies, 1 cup of brown rice
Weight Training
Meal 4) 50 grams whey isolate+ 60 grams waxy maize
Meal 5) 8oz fish (Tuna,Salmon,Tilapia) 1 cup veggies
Meal 6) 50 grams Casein Protein (slowly digest to prevent muscle loss during sleep)

You can also do cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach to increase fat loss.
Drink lots of water and only water and cut the fast food out of your diet. It is okay to have 1 cheat meal a week just to keep your sanity.

I found this on this website. There are more tips and info.

1. If what you are eating has less than 1 carb, count it as 1 carb just to be sure.

2. Totally avoid caffine at least for the first two weeks on the program.

3. Drink a MINIMUM of 8 glasses of plain water or seltzer daily.

4. Don’t weigh yourself more than once a week

5. Take starting measurements as well as weight – sometimes you’ll lose inches before pounds

6. Avoid any type of "low carb" sweetener for the first two weeks

7. Don’t compare your loss to someone else’s – this is a YMMV thing (your milage may vary)

8. Stalls are common around the third week so don’t panic

9. If you follow your plan to the T and don’t lose, consider Candida as a possibility and avoid vinegar, cheese, mushrooms and any other fermented food

10. Have bloodwork done before starting so you have a comparison

11. Cholesterol can be elevated in the first few weeks til your body adjusts – make sure your doctor knows that you’re doing low carb and when you started

12. Don’t blame the diet if you don’t read your plan book — blame the diet if you don’t read the labels — Don’t blame the diet if you don’t follow the diet
