Yummy food, not Diet food
I think the reason I have been able to stay on track is I finally realized i need to work my diet around what i enjoy to eat, not just what i think i “should” be eating. Those healthy bars and shakes are great every once and a while, but having them every day can cause boredom and make it easier to cheat and ruin the diet. So instead I try to incorporate a moderate amount of food I enjoy with each of my meals and snacks. In doing this I have even discovered some really healthy snacks/meals that i love, but never knew i would enjoy before i tried them! Below are some of my favorite foods that can be used in different ways:
d’light breakfast sandwiches, lean pockets (sausage or bacon, egg cheese), Egg Beaters with a slice of skim cheese, turkey sausages or turkey bacon
Thomas lite whole wheat english muffins,with Better’n'Peanut Butter and cut up banana on top
Baby carrots and hummus — one of my favorite snacks!!
fat free cottage cheese and lite yogurt
skim milk and “eat rite chocolate syrup”
i could go on for a while, but those are some of my current favorites, and i really look forward to each one, rather than dreading my next protein bar or shake that i have to force down. I highly recommend the hungry girl daily emails, they have helped me find some yummy healthy products that keep me on my diet which doesn’t feel so much like a diet after all. =)

I have been a HUGE fan of Hungry Girl for a couple of years - that is where I found out about Better N Putter Peanut Butter, shirataki noodles, using fiber one for pie crusts and deserts…and my ALL TIME favorite - putting pumpkin into brownie mix instead of the oil and eggs…yummm-o! And you’re right - it makes it so much easier to eat right when you incorporate what you love into your healthy meal choices…you rock girlie!
I agree with you 100%. Those are great tips - thank you.
I eat all kinds of food and I do it because the changes I’m making in my life is permanent; thus eating healthy is as important as eating what you enjoy. The only time it’s really controlled is the food I eat at work. Other then that my evenings and weekends are always up for moderation.
Have a good weekend.
That website looks awesome! I will definitely have to check it out!
And I’m excited to try that new peanut-butter stuff when I get back to the states. 
Keep up the great work!
wow thank you so much i just signed up to receive e mails from hungry girl and i am gettig that better n’ peanut butter thats one of the mian things i have missed you should see how my eyes lit up when i saw that
My hungrygirl cookbook is a lifesaver. I had a philly steak sandwich for lunch today, couldn’t have had it without HG. I get the newsletter too, and when it’s really full of good info I copy and paste it into the heartbreakers’ thread in the forum so my teammates can share in the yummies.
