Well yeah as a topping...but when you include "sour cream" in a list of "full serving" type foods such as veggies, meat, fish...I thought they were talking about like - eating half a cup of the stuff.
Yikes. I think that would make me feel ill. Although I guess if you put onion soup mix in it and dipped chips into it that would be doing the same thing.
Good suggestion on the greek yogurt. Although it still has a lot of calories to just chow down by the cup.

Greek yogurt is awesome. Although 1 cup seems high calorie, you also get a big chunk or protein and calcium as well. It is hard to finish and entire cup, it has about 20 grams of protein.

First of all, congratulations on the 94 pounds so far.
Second, I've never heard of sour cream as being a diet food. It's a pretty rich, ultra-fat product.
Third, eliminate the soda entirely, and that might just be the push you need to get the next phase. Do -not- replace it with "diet" anything. Just replace it with plain, unflavored water, or if you absolutely must flavor it, add a squeeze of a wedge of lemon or lime to the glass, no sweetener.
LEAN red meat is a good protein, and if you're not eating fish, fruits, veggies, or red meat, you might be lacking protein. Add a little. Just a few ounces per day.
Try to add at least one green salad every other day, with romaine, spinach or baby spinach, green-leaf and red-leaf lettuce, a couple cherry or grape tomatoes, a pinch of cheese for flavoring, maybe a few brocolli florettes, some snap peas, a couple of fresh baby carrots, a leaf or two of endive or curly-leaf lettuce, a half dozen or so chickpeas, and dress it simply with a splash of olive oil and vinegar.
Reduce whatever potatoes or other starch (corn, bread, pasta) to 1/4 less of whatever you're currently consuming. So - if you're having a plate of pasta, have 3/4 of a plate of pasta. If you're having 2 slices of bread, have just 1 big slice instead. If you have a full ladle of mashed potatoes, have 3/4 of a ladle of them.
If you do all that AND excercise, the rest should come off easy, and still give you plenty of food options to enjoy.
Definitely walk! Or turn on the stereo and dance in the privacy and comfort of your living room, for at least 15 minutes, twice every day (minimum 30 minutes total daily)!
Good advice, thank you! Cutting down portion sizes was the main thing I did that worked for me. Now I think exercise is the missing component to get me back to losing weight.
How about giving weight watchers a try? I know I keep saying that in every thread but I think it's the best out there. I hope when I get to goal and maintain I can become a leader.
People's body weights remain remarkably stable over a decade. When poepl are not trying to change their weight, they usually remain stable.
NOBODY can consciously match the MANY, MANY MILLIONS of calories ingested to expended over a decade. Our bodies do it for us.
Body weight is , for the most part, NOT consciously controlled. We have extremely complex homeostatic INVOLUNTARY regulatory systems for body weight.
Obesity is as genetic as HEIGHT.
YOUR BODY IS IN CONTROL in the LONG TERM. We ONLy "control" or "choose" to be about 10 pounds less) at the lower end of our setpoints. Beyond that our BODIES are in control
Obesity is NOT a personal failing. Look into Dr Douglas Coleman Dr Arya Sharma - REAL OBESIY RESEARCHERS AND SCIENTISTS
Diet advice? DO NOT DIET. ALL these things are SCAMS from the UNSCIENTIFIC FRAUDULENT commercial diet industry.
LONG TERM, eating well and exercising do NOT affect body weight much. THey are FOR HEALTH MAINTENANCE, NOT weight loss.
We need to respect the extreme limited potency of voluntary factors to affect weight

SCIENCE has demonsrrated this.
Just not true.
Eating a balanced diet won't make anyone fat unless they are in a diseased state. 10lbs...don't think so jack...otherwise I wouldn't be where I am at and stayed here for years. I also never would of gained the weight to lose.
Calories are just units of energy to support body mass. Eat too many calories your body will make them muscle or fat depending on your activity level and genetics (some people bulk more easily). Obesity is just a reflection of a diseased state or overeating. When people who are overweight and don't try to change their weight they usually continue to gain a bit every year until the cardiologist puts them on a diet because of high BP or a heart attack. Or maybe the GP diagnoses them with diabetes. Science and everyday life has demonstrated that.

Sorry to rain on your "pet cause" there Chief, but I started dieting and eating well and have lost almost 100 lbs. You're wrong and welcome to take your crusade elsewhere.
