Just Realizing What A Waste "diet" Frozen Dinners Are!



Recommended Posts

Why did I never realize before how nutritionally useless most of my favorite lean cuisine meals are? At face value they have a reasonable amount of Protein but WAY too many starches. It's not like I have extra food space any more! Oh these epiphanies are slow in coming!

Yes, not the best choice,, they are however fairly good for Portion Control - as long as that's ALL you eat. One of the meals, PLUS bread, PUS dessert, etc and you are not really doing yourself any good.

Shop around and read labels, some of the prepared meals are fairly balanced. Just eat them sparingly and have plenty of other home cooked stuff.

They don't taste that great, either! I'd rather eat a Peanut Butter sandwich on sprouted grain bread for that amount of calories.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
