Tell me your favorite food(s) to eat when watching your calories. This should be low fat/low carb and details please. Breakfast seems to be the hardest for dieting.
I just discovered Cabbage Soup from the Good Housekeeping Soup Diet. It is low fat/low carb and good for the winter months. I will keep this as a regular soup to eat as it's very healthy.
If you're trying to lose weight, you're better off going the low-carb route than the low-fat route. Why? Because it's more filling and still low calorie. So there's less hunger pangs, less temptation to cheat, and no blood sugar crashes.
My favorite breakfast is 2 eggs, 1 bacon, and stir-fryed peppers, mushrooms, and tomatoes. Another favorite is a bowl of oatmeal with butter and milk.
Fat doesnt prevent blood sugar crashing. Fiber does. If anything its the higher calories from a high fat diet that is keeping you satisfied. Just for your use as you want...eggs should be limited to 4/week max. (i know i cried about it too..lol) Bacon - go with canadian bacon and nitrate free (atkins said to avoid nitrates even) You want to avoid dairy that has hormones in it if you are trying to lose weight.
I just am putting that up there because its something you can tweak if your current plan is not working without really much of a change to shock you.
Low carb/low fat was a "fad diet" called kimkins and people lose a ton on it I guess.
You should review your total fat intake though to see if you are pushing it. Weightloss can happen but whats going on with your vascular system and the saturated fats? I use butter too instead of fake butter. I do think its better for you than hydrogenated crap.
Get some canadian bacon though just because its awesome!
LOL

Oatmeal??? Isn't Oatmeal high carb???
Well it was when I tried Atkins.
For the OP: Egg whites scrambled with green veggies when I have time. Fiber One bar and a coffee when I'm in a hurry.
Cottage Cheese is an excellent food for watching calories. I get the fat free and add cinnamon on it or have it with tomatoes and a little dressing (salad).
I have low fat vanilla yog with fruit (froz strawberries,blueberries,raspberries, peaches.) 1% cottage cheese with spinach salad and fat free Caesar. If we go out for lunch/brunch I have poached eggs on whole wheat dry or grilled chicken breast on whole wheat. Spinach salad with dinner-no potatoes (an occasional baked sweet), very lean cuts of meat.
As a treat angel food cake with fruit.
