Low-Fat Recipes

[peainapod]

My DH needs & wants to loose weight. What are some healthy dinner recipes or blogs that will help me get started with what to cook? We don't eat seafood.

I suggest signing up for tr self magazine drop 10 diet. You don't need to follow the diet plan but they have some good, healthy low calorie recipes and they are filling.

It introduced me to some foods that I never would have tried before like quinoa, Sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts. DH lost 25 pounds in 6 months and I lost 10.

2 of my favorites are skinnytaste.com and hungry-girl.com I also use Myfitnesspal.com to log my calories. It's a free site and a wealth of info for weight loss. They also have apps for smart phones so you can log calories on the go.

Skinnytaste.com is my favorite! I have made so many different dishes from her website and everything is delicious! I don't like Hungrygirl.com really...some of the ingredients she wants you to use aren't that great for you (soy products, Splenda, etc). Granted, you could substitute ingredients but Skinnytaste uses real ingredients.

I second (or third?) Skinnytaste. Her food is amazing!

If you are not afraid of vegetarian, then I also suggest My New Roots.

I find a lot of my recipes on Pinterest. I just glance at the recipes real quick and I can tell which ones are healthy or not pretty fast.

It isn't just low fat. You need to lower carbs and calories. No Sugar. High Fiber. Eat more fish. Eat more Salad. Use low fat Salad Dressing. Add more Veggies. Use Olive Oil to cook with it is Heart Friendly. Very Low Salt, too!

I lost 50 lbs. at 7lbs a month. And it stay off.
