The slimfast mealbars are excellent and have only 200 calories and are chocked with vitamins and minerals.  \nBuy the low Carb ones, esp. the chocolate fudge.  Pure heaven

Here is the surefire way:  Don't buy junk food.  \n\nGo straight from the gym to the grocery store and buy your food.  You will have just worked out and you'll be feeling good and healthy.  You won't even want junk food in this state, so you can stick to what's healthy.  If it's not around, you can't eat it. \n\nEnjoy.

Lots of water and fiber supplements!!! Fiber fights off hunger!!! Try buying some Benefiber and adding it to your water. If the hunger is still there, try milk. Good Luck!

im in exactly the same position, 12 weeks pregnant, and snacking on crap. I spend ages trying to think of something a fancy for dinner and end up having a sandwich, because everything makes me feel ill. I hate fruit and veg but i try get my 5 portions a day by drinking 100% fruit juice (pineapple) and forcing an apple or 2 down. Ive asked my friends who have had babys and asked whether they ate healthy during pregnancy and they didn't either, and their babies are fine, so try not to worry to much! (although i know its hard)

Try Spiru-tein's Cookies and Cream.\nIt's a protein drink and tastes great...like a Sonic Blast.\nIt's sold at lots of health food stores like Vitamin Cottage or Whole Foods... Regarless of what the package says...use a blender, don't shake.  Then go watch BrokeBack Mountain afterwards.

You can take the B-Vites in the A.M..Most do this because that is where You are getting the energy. Just read instructions on bottle to determine how much B's are safe. Mine(Nature Made Brand) say...One caplet daily w/ a Meal (or You'll get jittery like You drank too much  coffee) . Mine has Vitamin C also. This helps Your body absorb Iron better. B-Vites are great.  They boost the Immune system.I also take Nature Made  Omega3 Fish Oil capsules. These soften brain receptor cells to improve thought processes. I take at night, so when I awake, I am refreshed and ready for the day. Get the odorless kind. The don't break down until in lower intestine so You cannot taste or burp or even smell the fishy taste You get when using the regular kind. Fish oil also helps prevent coronary heart disease, and promotes cellular regeneration!!!! 60 soft gels @ Rite-Aid are only $9.99. It may sound gross, but believe me, It helps tremendously. Also helps keep u regular...if u get My drift. I hope this helps!!!! Any vitamin in excess is as bad as anything else in excess. You are wise for asking!!!! Great Luck to You and God  Bless!!! J ~  P.S. Skip the B-12 @ 4th meal because You are getting enough W/ the complex. Too much can cause health problems! You are taking B-12 in the complex. You can also see a Dr. for Vit B shots to lose weight if heavy. My mother-in -law gets these and they give her tons of energy to burn fat. 100.00 a pop though!!!

I haven't seen, or heard of the advertisement. I dont even live in the US, but I thought this might be good opportunity to mention that the consuming of animal matter is the primary fuel to the growing percentage of overweight and obese people in the US, and thus will implore you not to continue attending places like Hardee's (I'm assuming its some kind of meat oriented restaraunt) and start visiting places like Subway. This change would henceforth make your question irrelevant, replaced by such questions as "where's the Nearest sandwich parlour to my hourse?" or "how much does a footlong with the lot cost, and can I ask to have more added?"

Avoid sugary foods like soda, cookies, candy bars, etc., these kind of foods will only spur your cravings to greater frequencies.  If you must have something sweet, eat fruit; your body processes natural sugar without converting it to fat, and you need fruit anyway.  Stay away from fruit drinks as they contain alot of extra processed sugar.\n\nTry drinking tea if you can't drink just plain water (or put a slice of lemon in - more fruit).  If you don't like tea or coffee, try the water and lemon/lime trick, but DON'T add any sugar.\n\nMaybe you need a "going to the gym" buddy - can you ask your best maid to go with you or one of your bridesmaids?  This could be a great way to add some unique memories for your wedding preparations.\n\nIf you want to regulate your diet, be consistent with meal times and don't skip meals.  Pick veggies like carrots, celery sticks, or green pepper to satisfy that need to snack and eat something crunchy.  This will get more veggies into your diet too.\n\nI'm hypoglycemic (I can't skip meals - kind of the opposite of diabetes), so if I start a headache from not eating, a little bit of cheese (like a cheese stick) or milk will tide me over until mealtime.\n\nGood luck and congratulations!

Try Nutrition Marketplace at 8812 Swanson Blvd in Clive.\n\nBut you really need a nutritionist more than a health food store.  Lots and lots of products sold as "health food" may be high in fat, salt, sugar and other stuff you should be trying to avoid.

Well, I'm a gal whose 5'4 and 110 pounds, so I don't eat alot of soda and hotdogs, so if you are in an area where a lot of people are trying to stay trim, here's a few ideas........\n1) Most vendors like yourself have a zillion regular sodas and maybe one diet coke in their fountain.  Try adding a few more diet options, there are people looking for a diet orange soda, believe me!  (remember to sell water as well)\n2) Offer turkey dogs, or low fat dogs and ADVERTISE THAT FACT. (or even a tofu dog?)\n\nIf you are in an area where you customers are less concerned with healthy choices, I would love to see a vendor offer a spicy bratwurst!  Yummy and different!!!!\n\nUh-oh, you made me hungry!\n\nPS I love saurkraut, just throwing that out there.

Suck on pepperment and take Ginseng, if your blood pressure isn't high, and stay in bright areas and do what you like and eat chocolate (chocolate has a chemical that makes you happy), drink cocoa, early for caffene's sake, if you want. I would pray if I was in your state of mind, personaly.

I wouldn't recommend NutriSystem, the food is yucky.  South Beach works and included great food if you have the time to do lots of cooking and dishes.  Best advice...eat small meals (I use Lean Cuisine because it's easy), lots of veggies and when you get hungry eat more veggies.  Then, exercise a lot!  Oh, and drink a lot of water!

I'm on it as well. The first phase is NOT about not eating carbs. Have you read the book? It is excellent and provides you with the meal plans for the first two weeks. I also own the South Beach Diet Cookbook that also has great recipes for Phase 1. In phase 1 you do not eat sugar or fruit, yes, but you do eat carbs. Carb count is low though. I average 30 carbs a day. So maybe that IS what you call not eating carbs? You can take a look at SouthBeachDiet.com and even register or something to get recipes. Lets see, for lunch, I usually eat a salad with grilled chicken breast and 2 tablespoons oil and vinegar dressing (the recipe is in the book or just mix together extra virgin olive oil and balsalmic vinegar).And with lunch I have sugar free jello that I prepared in the morning. Oh, for breakfast every morning I eat 1 small carton of egg beaters scrambled (equals about 2 real eggs), two strips of extra lean turkey bacon, and 6 ounces of V8 (just like the book says), I also drink a cup of coffee. I've had that breakfast every morning. I don't get bored with breakfasts I guess. For lunch and dinner I mix it up. 2 servings of a low carb vegetable for dinner along with a small serving of chicken breast, lean sirloin beef, or lean pork. LOTS OF FISH! For desert what really holds me over is what the book recommends every night, the ricotta creme desert. Buy Low Fat ricotta creme take 1/2 cup of it mix it with one packet of sugar substitute and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract. I like it! You can also eat sugar free popsicles. You eat a snack between lunch and one between dinner. Usually it's one piece of string cheese or a turkey roll up. You should buy the book, it's great reading! Well hope I helped! Good Luck!

It all depends on what you are buying, Hot Pockets and burritos are never healthy. Buying Frozen foods like healthy choice and lean cuisine are very good but you should still try and add some fresh fruits and veggies to your diet. Try making a fresh salad or steam veggies to go along with your meals. Those are fast and easy healthy foods you can make while your main course is cooking. Also Rachel's 30 minute meals are easy fast and healthy and best of all homemade!!! You can go to foodnetwork.com and find you some simple recipes! Good luck Hope I have helped and God Bless!

To start, the rule of thumb is burning more calories than your consuming.  Replace high fat/calorie meals with vegetables and/or fruits.  For example, when you make a sandwich, use fat free mayo, low fat cheese, and a healthier brand of meat.  Snacks, use fresh vegetables or fruits.  Stay away from the additivies like dressing, mayo, anything that usually makes the meal so much better.  Be careful how you cook, breading and frying are the worst.  Trying broiling or grilling.  In your vegetable intake, you want to stick with fresh or frozen over canned because of the sodium and preservatives.  As far as a workout, walking/running is the best workout that you can do all the time.  Swimming is a great fat burner but if your like me, you can't swim everyday.  Make breakfast or lunch your biggest meal.  Dinner should be light, due to the fact that you will probably be going to bed shortly after.  However, you don't want to starve yourself, that screws your matbolism all up.  Everytime you eat a meal, your basically jump starting your metabolism.  Its actually a lot healther to eat 5 really small meals throughout the day than 3 big meals.  You really want to start working out, running, walking, sit ups, push ups, etc.  These are the basics that are really easy to do.  Biggest thing, cut back on sweets, cola's, and your dressings/sauces.  Just don't try to loose weight really fast...it will only hurt you in the long run.  You can do, it's not an overnight process, the temptaions are tough.  Eating out, watching a movie, being bored.  Good Luck ;)

Every year Americans invest billions of dollars in weight loss diets and gimmicks, many of which yield few results. However, the lure of quick, easy weight loss is hard to resist. Despite ineffective tools, most hopeful consumers are willing to give the next weight loss fad a chance. If you're planning to start a new diet, it is important to remember the following information.\n\nFood-specific diets: Have you ever tried the cabbage diet or the fruit-only diet? These are just a couple of examples of diets that promote one "specific" food that causes weight loss. No matter how much you think you'll enjoy ice cream at every meal, inevitably you will get bored with eating the same food repeatedly. As a result, you'll eat less food than needed to maintain your weight. This type of diet will not teach you healthier eating habits or provide a balance of nutrients, and consequently is not effective for long-term weight loss.\n\nHigh-protein, low-carbohydrate diets: One of the most recent trends in dieting, these diets are based on the concept that carbohydrates are "bad" and that everyone has some degree of insulin resistance, resulting in poor carbohydrate metabolism. Many proponents of these diets suggest that including carbohydrates in your diet will cause weight gain. The reality, though, is that eating more calories (whether as carbohydrate, fats, or protein) than you burn will cause weight gain.\n\nHigh-fiber, low-calorie diets: As I've noted in many previous blog entries, fiber-rich foods play an important role in a healthy diet. They are a helpful ingredient of weight loss efforts because they provide bulk to the diet, which helps you feel fuller sooner. Be careful, though: if you plan to increase the fiber in your diet, be sure to increase your fluid intake at the same time or you may experience cramping, bloating, and constipation. High-fiber diets will help with weight loss only if you restrict calories in conjunction with addition of extra grains, fruits and vegetables.\n\nLiquid diets: Consumers face a couple of different liquid diet options. Your local grocery store and pharmacy sell over-the-counter liquid meal replacements, which can be expensive and frequently add extra calories to daily consumption if not managed carefully. On the other hand are liquid diets that require medical supervision. These diets are usually very low in calories and may result in metabolic abnormalities if dieters are not carefully monitored. Neither type of liquid diet should be used for long‑term weight loss unless monitored by a health care professional. Radically changing your caloric intake in this way will not result in long-term behavior modification and healthy eating patterns.\n\nFasting: As a way to cleanse the body or jump-start a weight-loss program, fasting has been recommended for years. However, all that fasting really does is deprive your body of nutrients and decrease your energy, leaving you feeling weak and lightheaded. If the right nutrients are not available for your cells to use as energy, your liver will convert fat stores to ketones for use as energy (ketosis). Long-term ketosis can be harmful to your health.\n \nNo fad diet or gimmick will work magic for safe and effective weight loss. The following are some suggestions for ensuring a long-term healthy eating plan and getting your weight loss efforts off to an encouraging start: \nEat a variety of foods. Remember, a balanced diet will ensure that you get all necessary nutrients. \n\nGet some physical activity every day. Calories in must be less than calories out to ensure successful weight loss. To keep "calories out" at a healthful level, make you get at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day.\n\nInclude sources of fiber in your diet. They will add bulk and give you a feeling of fullness.\n\nChoose a diet low in fats, saturated fats, and cholesterol. You do need to consume some fat for good health. Aim for no mo
