Re: Diet Foods.
I have had a hard time losing weight for years. People that are really overweight look at me an laugh, but sometimes the last 10 - 15 pounds seem impossible to get off.
I stumbled upon the Sonoma Diet and have finally lost weight and without feeling like I am on a diet. In fact, nobody but my family would even know I am on a diet!
I eat healthy high fiber like whole grains, small whole fruits etc. I do not eat sugar on a regular basis, only on occasion. I added Chia seeds to my salads and sandwiches for extra fiber and health benefits. I add a Fiber One drink packet to my water every day for extra fiber too.
Basically the Sonoma Diet says to look at your plate in 3rds. One third should be healthy veggies, one third should be a low fat protein, and one third should be a whole grain item. When you have a casserole, you just try to balance out what might not be in the casserole.
When we eat out or at other's houses, I just make sure I eat a big salad and then a small portion of what they are serving. I make sure I go out and splurge every couple of weeks on something that is forbidden. ;-)
