For weight loss success, you HAVE to
find what works for you. Do you love pizza? Same. For me to stick with
something long term it MUST include pizza. Since February, I have really had to
put in extra effort to figure out how to make “my favorites” work for me – but it
really paid off!
26 Pounds Down!
This post is about having go-to
meals, however, it is important to not limit your “go-to” meals, either. Your
body gets used to eating the same thing over and over which can sometimes cause
you to hit a plateau. Be sure to change it up!
I feature a couple of recipes below
from skinnytaste®. Her site is perfect for when you are on a plan – she notes
on ALL of her recipes what plans it works with (keto, low card, weight
watchers, etc) and notes how many Smart Points it is. What a fabulous thing the
internet is!
AT HOME
Roasted Chicken and Root Vegetables (4-6 Points)
I buy the marinated half of a whole chicken
at the grocery store and already cut up root vegetable package. The root
vegetable packages I get already have some herb butter with them (I only use
about half of it). Root vegetables are typically parsnips, butternut squash, potatoes
and onion. I stick them both in the oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-40
minutes and WHA-LA, dinner is served.
Zucchini Noodles, Marinara and Turkey Meatballs (5 Points)
This couldn’t be easier. Pick up
some already made zucchini noodles (Whole Foods), heat up some marinara and
heat up some already made turkey meatballs – usually found in the frozen
section.
Cauliflower Fried Rice (2-5 Points)
Skinnytaste® Recipe: http://www.skinnytaste.com/cauliflower-fried-rice/
You DO NOT need to make your own
cauliflower rice. Simply pick up a bag of Green Giant Cauliflower Rice. The
recipe mentioned above is relatively simple, but feel free to add chicken or
shrimp for only a few extra points!
Chicken Lettuce Wraps (3 Points)
Skinnytaste® Recipe: http://www.skinnytaste.com/asian-chicken-lettuce-wraps/
It’s no PF Changs, however, still a
delicious go-to.
Pizza! (4-10 Points)
People think that pizza and weight
loss do not mesh well. I am here to tell you it does! During my 8 months on
Weight Watchers, I had pizza a minimum of once a week (sometimes more like 3-4
times). It is all about how you make it. Some alternative crusts include
cauliflower, rice, lavash flatbread and more.
My favorite is a cauliflower crust,
marinara, low fat pizza blend cheese, basil, prosciutto and arugula.
Some other options from skinnytaste®:
Avocado Toast (4 Points)
This is my favorite breakfast of all
time. Find any bread or toast you like, add avocado, tomato and seasoning (I do
salt and pepper or everything bagel seasoning from Trader Joe’s) – that is all
you need! The best part about this breakfast is that it is 1) it’s tasty 2) it includes
veggies and 3) it actually fills you up.
OUT TO EAT
Mexican
1 Chicken Taco with all the fixins’ (6 points)
Salsa (0 points)
12 Tortilla Chips (4 points)
Ceviche (2 points)
Sushi
Lunch = 1 California Roll with side ginger salad (8 points)
Dinner = 2 California Rolls (10 points)
Subway
6-inch Turkey Sub (8 points)
6-inch Veggie Sub (7 points)
No, these don’t have cheese or mayonnaise!
Pho
Kids size Pho Tai (8 points)
Chic-Fil-A
8-count Grilled Nuggets (2 points)
Chicken Noodle Soup with Saltines (4 points)
Panera
Chicken Noodle Soup (3 points)
Half Strawberry Poppyseed Salad with Chicken (5 points)
Drinks
Vodka Soda Water with Lime (3 points)
Bud Light or Comparable Light Beer (3 points)
Wine (4 points)
