I heard eating light for diner is healthy. What would you recommend.?

Question

I also like to drink wine with my dinner. Is there a problem with drinking wine if you are trying to loose a little weight?

Answer 1

if you are trying to lose weight try this, wine can me good in moderation because it has antioxidents which your body needs, but don't go overboard.

losing 1-2lbs a week is normal and healthy and means you will keep the weight off any more and you gain the risk of gaining all the weight back. . . .


also make sure you eat breakfast!
some good breakfast ideas are
-fruit and cereal
-protein shakes
-smoothies and fruit
-granola bars and fruit
-oatmeal and fruit
-eggs(try not to use butter or oil use water to "grease" the pan)
-veggie omlet

***make sure you eat breakfast within an hour of waking up, and make sure portion sizes are small enough to keep you full for a couple of hours

mid morning snack- make sure you have a small snack within 2-3 hours after breakfast some ideas. . .
-a piece of fruit
-carrots,celeray with lowfat dip about 2tblsp
-nuts
-smoothie
*****this should be light just to hold you over until lunch*****

lunch should be within 2-3 hrs after mid morning snack
remember to keep it light and not heavy.
-turkey on wheat with lowfat mayo and lettuce and tomatos + a piece of fruit or vegetable + granola bar + snack sized bag of baked chips
-soup + salad, with low fat dressing + breadsticks

*make sure portion sizes are decent, no overdoing it*

mid-day snack is usually 2-3hrs after lunch
-vegetables with lowfat dip
-nuts
-fruit with lowfat yogurt
-cup of yogurt
-jello
-smoothie
-snack size bag of chips that are baked or pretzels

supper is 2-3 hrs after you eat your mid day snack
-chicken (3-4oz) and pasta (3-4oz) with reduce sodium tomato sauce
-soup + salad lowfat dressing + breadsticks
-meat (3-4oz) + pasta or rice or potatos + fruit or vegetables

**********PORTION SIZES ARE KEY***************
it is also better to eat 5 times a day then to skip a meal, if you skip a meal the food you eat next stays on your body as fat, so keep eating 5 times a day that way your metabolism is always going.

good luck

also try cutting back on soda/pop if you drink alot of that and sugar, try not to eat any of that because it just adds empty calories

also make sure you excersie at least 30 minutes a day and walk as much as possible

Answer 2

I would not drink wine. If you are losing weight, I would suggest drinking water. Wine adds extra calories.

A light dinner would be a healthy choice or a lean cuisine. You can get the big ones and are only like 400 calories.

Answer 3

No problem with the wine as long as you watch your calories. CALORIES MATTER THE MOST WHEN LOSING WEIGHT! So if you want to lose weight stay under 1500 calories per day if you are a woman, and 2000 calories per day if you are a man. I eat lean cuizine for dinner. I love the choices and they are VERY GOOD. Good luck

Answer 4

Shredded wheat sweetened with Splenda with raisins and skim milk

Answer 5

Take some nyquil to stay asleep when hunger strikes.
I heard this, too, though.
