First of all, your body need those carbs--fruit, vegetables, and whole grains--so just remeber, no "white" food (white flour and rice, potatos, sugar).
Second, small meals every few hours, making sure each contains 60% protein, 20% carbs, 10% fat (yes, your body needs that too). Eating every 2 or 3 hours keeps your blood sugar even and prevents insulin resistance (which makes you feel hungry even though you have just eaten a meal). Small is the key word here, portion control.
Peanut butter (1 tablespoon per meal) is a good blend of protein, carbs, and good fat.
No sugar yogurt and fresh fruit, and whole grain cereal is a nice mid afternoon snack.
Breakfast, as early as possible is the best for you and always try to eat a little something before you go to bed so you won't wake up in the middle of the night hungry.
My lifesaver is a mix of 8 oz coffee, 8 oz 2 % milk, a scoop of chocolate flavored egg white protein (the purest form of protein and tasteless and mixes well in the blender or shaker), and sweetner to taste. I take a 16 ounce bottle to work and take a few swallows every now and then, you know, when you crave something sweet, are stressed out or tired, or before you go out to eat to cut your appetite.
When I know I'm going to be in the car all day, I take a cooler with a protein drink, a few whole wheat crackers, maybe some cheese, and an apple or banana.
Optimum egg white protein is the best and comes in chocolate and vanilla. Get a small container at the health food store and if you like it, buy it online cheap, research it on a price comparison web site.
Don't forget exercise.
Don't be afraid to treat yourself. If there are donuts at work, drink some protein drink and then have half a donut. But eat it slowly and enjoy it, don't gulp.
Set easily reachable goals (5 to 10 lbs) and a really nice reward for each goal attained.
My first reward was an expensive ring I had wanted for a long time, my second was a mini face lift, my third, well, let's just say it's a little personal, but I really, really want it. I want it enough to give up the temporary pleasure of food and get up at 5 am to work out. I saved the best for last because it is the last few pounds that are the hardest to lose.
I lost a lot of weight and kept it off this way.
You'll make it.

Fresh veggies like cauliflower, broccoli, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers. Try making your chicken different ways like cook it in the pressure cooker, bake it with different spices, cook it on the grill with some good bbq sauce. Try tuna, add some mustard and boiled eggs (don't know if you can use mayo or not but if you can use it), some people even put in relish - yummy and very healthy. How about turkey, cook a whole bird, clean the meat off of the bones, and freeze some in baggies for future use? You can even use ground turkey with some ketchup on it. Is pork okay? Throw some pork chops on the grill with some teriyaki sauce, mmm. Good thing it's super time, cause now I'm hungry.lol

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.
I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.
It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.
Get started today!

Low fat diets are very unhealthy. Yes, contrary to what we have been hearing for the last 40 years. Its a load of crap. I strongly urge you to follow the link I have provided.
Then go buy the "The Great Cholestoral Con". You will be shocked at what you learn in that book.

Always have vegetables on palm. Saute a big bag regarding frozen mixed vegetables in organic olive oil and garlic. Add some red pepper or maybe turmeric for additional flavor as well as separate into portion-sized containers for the fridge.

Give your protein extra low-calorie flavor with the addition of a salsa or chutney as an alternative to a gooey cream sauce.

Red meat, green vegetables, cheese, quorn! yuk
Why do you have to have low carbs? Just have less amounts of pasta and bread etc.
If you are on such a diet, why don't you have the full recipe book?
Bit odd if you ask me

Looking for the important things about salmon but you don't feel relaxed cooking fish? Try canned salmon as a simple and affordable alternative.
