Answer 1

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.
Food-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.

High-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.

High-fiber, low-calorie diets: 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.

Liquid 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.

Fasting: 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.
No 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:
Eat a variety of foods. Remember, a balanced diet will ensure that you get all necessary nutrients.

Get 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.

Include sources of fiber in your diet. They will add bulk and give you a feeling of fullness.

Choose a diet low in fats, saturated fats, and cholesterol. You do need to consume some fat for good health. Aim for no more than 30 percent of your total calories as fat calories, of which no more than 10 percent should be saturated fat calories.

Choose foods moderate in sugars. Foods that are high in simple sugars usually offer little nutritional value and will add unwanted calories.

Choose foods moderate in salt and sodium. Remember that salt has been added to many foods during preparation or processing, so it's not necessary to add extra salt at the table.

All of those frozen meals are about the same. If your trying to eat better than this is not the way to do it. Do you plan to eat frozen dinners for the rest of your life? There are many ways to eat healthy without actually knowing how to cook. Someone mentioned steamed veggies in the microwave. That's a great idea. You can buy a big bag of frozen precut veggies or in the fresh produce section they have precut veggie bags there too. All you need to do is put some in a bowl with a tablespoon or two of water, cover with plastic wrap, poke some holes in it and cook an high for about 2 minutes.
these will taste so much better than those frozen ones.
boneless skin less chicken can be cooked in about 10 minutes.
and if you cook a few pieces you can reheat for meals all week.
Try one day use a light BBQ sauce, then some fresh lemon, maybe one day have some tomato sauce on it. Just enough to change the taste, keep it interesting
*Look for websites that can give you quick easy good for you foods. Try them, if you ruin it then throw it away and cook a frozen meal. You got to try it or you'll never know how it do it, realisticly you will not eat frozen dinners for the rest of your life.

*a good book to look into is "the biggest loser" cookbook
_Good luck

Oh God none of the above! seriously quick meals are not the answer, so bad for you..

Answer 7

Raw foods. They can be steamed in the microwave. Pre-cook meats if you are not a vegetarian and pack them in individual packs in the refridgerator. This is healthier and could save you money. If you need the prepackaged deal....Lean Cuisine has no preservatives.

Answer 8

I like Healthy Choice - they seem to taste better - I love their Lemon Pepper Fish and the Beef Merlot!

Answer 9

Healthy Choice tastes better than the others, but I think they're all the same healthwise.

Answer 10

That stuff isn't "healthy". Try fresh fruits and raw vegetables. If you feel that you need some protien, make some 15 bean soup. If you feel that you must eat meat, eat baked or broiled chicken or fish.

Answer 11

I would actually recommend the Kashi meals. They taste fantastic and they're all natural. The unfortunate side is there are only 5 varieties and they're a little bit more expensive. But believe me, they're worth it!
