im on a diet what foods should i eat?

Answer 1

lots of fruits and vegetables, throughout the day. Drink plenty of water, too.

Answer 2

I like plenty of steamed vegetables and steamed fish, fresh salads and sometimes even a little fruit (as I am not a big fan of fruit!). Try seaweeds (wakame), natto, tofu, lentils and pulses if you are vegetarian.

If you are on the Atkins diet, congratulations - you can refer to the website or Dr Atkins' books for further details. This is the low carb diet which has worked for me (and millions of others) but it is a lifetime commitment and quite difficult to follow if you entertain a lot or do not have a regular schedule (ie you cannot prepare your meals at home or at the office all the time and every meal time is at a different restaurant with different menus/people!). It is a diet which cannot be started and stopped too many times. Some extremely good advice came from Dr Atkins, especially about avoiding Trans Fatty Acids/Hydrogenated & Partially Hydrogenated Oils which has been used by many food manufacturers. Read labels on food packaging to make sure it is not made with this killer substance.

Basically, no matter which diet you are on, I would suggest eat anything you fancy but stay away from sugar, all breads, all pasta, all pizzas, and anything too refined and too processed. Definitely do not stock up on ready or instant or frozen meals, even when they label it "healthy" or "low fat" on the pack or even if they claim it is "98% fat free". As Jack La Lane said once, his secret to good health is not to eat anything made by man but eat everything made by God. Or something to that extent!

Good luck and don't forget to keep a food diary - it will come in handy in months or years to come to allow you to see what foods made you feel and look good.

Answer 3

Ok. Here is a diet given to me by a female body builder/ personal trainer:

Breakfast: 2oz Protein 1/2 cup fruit (8am)

Mid Morning Snack: 2oz Protein 1/2 cup fruit (1000 am)

Lunch: 2oz Protein, 1/2 cup Carb 1-2 Cup Veggies (1230-100p)

Mid Afternoon Snack: 1-2 oz Protein 1-2 Cup veggies (300p)

Dinner: 2oz Protein 1/2 cup Carb 1-2 Veggies (600p)

PM Snack(optional) 1/2 cup fruit (830-900p)

Adjust time to meet your needs.

Its recommended that you get a 30 min Cardio workout after 6:30p if possible. Also you will need to clean your system out for a week. Colon Clenz recommended. You can purchase at Wal Mart or GNC. This plan you eliminate dairy products. Here is what you can eat:

Protein: fish(baked stewed or grilled), Cod, Flounder, Haddock, Orange Roughy, Red Snapper
Fish Steak, Tuna, Chicken Breast, Crab/Lobster,Scallops, Shrimp, Turkey Breast, 2 egg whites

Carbs: Potato(small), Parsnips/Turnips, Rutabagas, Squash, Yam, barley, Millet, Oatmeal, Rice(white or brown), Rice Noodles

Fruits: Mixed berries(raspberry, blueberry, cranberry), Peaches, Fresh Pineapple, Strawberries, Banana, Apple, Cantaloupe, Honey Dew, Papaya, Pears, Plums.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Depends on why you are on a diet. But I think the 2 most important things are: 1- Moderation. You can pretty much eat what you want, as long as you can control your portions. 2- For the most part eat real, natural foods, ie- fresh fruits and veges, fresh meat, whole grain bread. Avoid as many things as you can that are full of preservatives.

Answer 5

Follow the food pyramid--two servings of carbohydrates, one fruit and one milk in the morning, a fruit in the middle of the day, two carbs, 3 oz. of meat, and a vegetable for lunch, a fruit and a milk at mid-afternoon, two carbs, 4 oz. of meat and a vegetable for supper, and a carb and milk at night.

A serving of carbs (starches and sugars) is about one slice of bread or 3/4 cup of cereal (and I don't mean Froot Loops)--check the label--it's 15 grams of carbohydrates.

A serving of milk is 8 oz. of either low fat milk or yogurt (fruit yogurt is fine). Sorry, ice cream doesn't count.

A three oz. serving is about the size of a deck of cards, and a 4 oz. serving is about the size of the palm of your hand.

A fruit is usually one fruit, except you get 2 apricots, 12 cherries, or 17 grapes (don't worry about counting out each little grape, just eyeball it).

One vegetable is one cup of cooked vegetables, or 2 cups of raw.

The reason you should eat this all over the course of the day is that if you don't eat for very long, your body shuts down, thinking you are starving, and it tries to save up all your fat. If it's getting a steady diet of food, it functions normally, and burns up fat, too.

Answer 7

Veggies, fruits, water, whole grains (oatmeal, popcorn, etc), beans (navy, chick peas, etc). An egg occasionally. Some fat like olive oil or canola oil, as your body needs some fat to aid in digestion.
