How to Diet Down NOW

i am usually good at maintaining a healthy eating regimen but i am having a hard time creating healthy meals or snacks, i am sick of the same old lettuce and tuna or lettuce and chicken and the same old turkey sandwiches, i eat small meals every 3 too four hours and i have a good gym regimen but im getting sick of the same food and lately i have been breaking my Diet eating cookies and baked good which i should have once a week or so im just looking for an extra spice in my diet. any ideas?

My favorites: yogurt with fruit, peanut butter on toast, dark chocolate, cheese and mushroom omelette, different low sugar whole grain cereals with soy milk, sushi, lean steak, vegetable stir fry, tacos, protein bars (good substitute for candy bar), oat meal with raisins, baked apples with cinnamon and a scoop of ice cream, mozzarella and marinara with whole-wheat noodles, graham crackers, sweet potato fries, shrimp and popcorn with zero cal butter spray!

<.< I told them i’m trying to Diet
and i’m only 15
i ask my parents to get fruit and what not
buuutt nooo they just buy tons of candy
and pie
and pudding -_-
mostly pudding and candy >.>
but do you peoples know how hard it is to eat healthy when your mom makes cookies pretty much daily?
sooo any suggestions to help me out?

Well, just ask them to buy YOU something healthy such as fruits and vegatables. If they deny you fruit and vegetables then they are not really good parents.

I’ve been hearing about a "cookie diet" and instead of making assumptions I was wondering how it works?

The cookie diet is simply a meal replacement. According to the R&D Diet Cookie website:

"R&D Diet Cookie provides a meal replacement cookie engineered for rapid weight loss by eliminating hunger and cravings. The cookie provides the dieter an opportunity to stop yo-yo- dieting by quickly losing the weight. Quick weight loss is the best motivator and recent studies show it is healthier to lose the weight quickly and keep it off rather than going through the cycles of losing and gaining that usually accompany slow weight loss."

So…
1. You go on a low calorie Diet (around 800/day) with the help of the cookie.
2. You lose weight quickly (because of the low calories, not the cookie) and stay on that phase of the diet as long as you want/need to because the cookie eliminates hunger and cravings.

Also according to the website, what you have learned during this time is:

1. Portion control - you’ve learned you don’t have to eat all the time because you feel full, satisfied, not craving.
2. You have taken control of your eating, food doesn’t control you anymore.

The website advises, after you lose the weight, in order to maintain your weight loss you either:

1. Incorporate the cookies, as a meal or snack substitute, into your daily eating in order to stay in control… 1 or 2 daily, or
2. Eat a healthy diet and use the cookies occasionally when you lose control of your eating.

its a waste of money if you pay even $1 for it.

I’ve heard good and bad about both but I want to know which one really works.

Neither. The best "Diet" is just eating healthy food. Lean protein, healthy carbs, and healthy fat.

so yeah where can i get them
also about how much is it?

… Google it & buy online …

I’ve tried the cookie Diet but I can’t keep up with the cost. Has anyone run across a cheaper one?

YES! YES! YES! They are called R&D Diet Cookies. They don’t call themselves "cookie diet" because of trademark problems but… they work the same. They actually taste better and I also really believe they work better. Much, much, cheaper! You can find them at:

Candida Albacans is a type of yeast fungus which, it is thought is present in everyone, or at least a large percentage of the population. It tends to live in either the mouth, the vaginal area, digestive tract or in the folds of our skin.

Normally a good immune system along with a healthy amount of friendly bacteria (probiotics) will help to keep the fungus from growing excessively.

Unfortunately if a person’s immune system should become weakened through either illness or through excessive use of prescribed or non-prescribed drugs then this provides the Candida with a chance to grow quickly.

There are however, many ways of suppressing a Candida yeast infection from growing out of control.

Increasing the amount of probiotics in the body is one way that has shown to help. Probiotics are good bacteria that live in the gastrointestinal tract and they are part of the body’s defense against yeast infections. Should their numbers become low there is nothing to stop the Candida from multiplying.

Probiotic supplements can help to reintroduce friendly bacteria into your body. Normally probiotics come in capsule form or as a drink, although there are some probiotic foods available. They all contain a large amount of friendly bacteria.

Generally a good probiotic supplement will contain around 30 - 50 billion good bacteria and will normally be taken as part of a treatment.

Another way of ensuring that Candida is not provided with the right kind of environment to thrive in is by changing your diet.

Often a person suffering from Candida will be recommended to go on an anti-candida diet.

These diets require the elimination of foods which contain sugar this includes granulated sugar, brown sugar, honey all types of syrups (maples and molasses) as well as many fruit and fruit juices.

Also, food that contain yeast should be removed from the diet as well, which would include all bakery goods like bread, cookies, crackers, muffins and pastries.

The reason for cutting these foods out of your diet are because both sugar and yeast are ideal for helping the Candida yeast fungi to grow even more and they do not create a friendly environment for the good bacteria to prosper.

As well as a change of diet often your doctor will probably prescribe a course of treatment, which includes drugs that have anti-fungal properties.

Your doctor will often prescribe them and request you to make changes to your Diet. However, if they do not it is important that you find out the cause of your candida infection, otherwise it could reoccur after the medication has run its course.

Mention to your physician that you would like to look at ways of improving your immune system, and bolstering the levels of good bacteria in your GI tract, these will both help reduce the chance of candida albacans from reoccurring.
