Diet FOODS????
I’m on a summer diet and am pretty overweight. I plan on running/walking on the tredmill everyday for at least an hour. I have no way of doing strength training. So, what are some good foods to eat for my diet. I hate salad and most veggies. Green tea? Well, thanks!

Well… Without veggies, it’s a lot harder to diet… I’d suggest trying cooked veggies (I’m a big fan of stir-fried veggies, and if you add some meat to it it’s basically a full meal)–the trick with stir-fries is to add lots of seasoning.
As an example, slice up some onions, zucchini, and sweet peppers… Saute the onions in a bit of oil or some chicken stock until they’re soft, then add the zucchini and saute that for a bit, and then toss in the peppers and cook them just a bit to heat them through. Then squeeze a little lemon juice over the whole thing and sprinkle a dash of red chili flakes overtop… Stir to make sure everything’s combined and serve. This one’s good with just about any type of meat, but I serve it with salmon or grilled chicken most often.
I’d also stock up on fat-free yogurt, ’cause that’s a really good alternative to sugary, fat-filled desserts, and since it has protein it’ll fill you up too.
Good to see you have your exercise schedule down! If you can, doing some simple resistance exercises would help accelerate your weight loss, but if you have some reason that you can’t do any strength/resistance training then stick to cardio.
Good luck!
(Oh, and yeah, drinking tea is good for you, since it’ll help hydrate you, and that often helps a little in losing weight ’cause your body will stop storing water… Just make sure you drink caffiene-free tea before going to bed!)

What are good diet foods to take to a barbecue?
My friends are having a get together this weekend and they just recently went on a diet. I want to take some food but don’t want to interrupt their diet. Any suggestions on what diet foods I can take.
weight loss cardiff answers:
Chicken is very low in fat, just marinade it the day before and leave in fridge until you leave for BBQ. Fish and shelfish are great BBQ’d, especially things like mackerel and prawns as they are very tasty and low in fat. You could make vegetable kebabs with onions, mushrooms, peppers and tomato’s take corn on the cobs to bbq, make a salad……

How to prepare and cook the 3 day diet foods?
I found the 3 day diet foods recipe, but was wondering if I choose to drink tea, what kind of tea do I have to drink?
As for the vegetables are they suppose to be steamed?
For the toast, what kind of toast does it have to be?
Then for the tuna and other meat, can it be grilled or boiled?
What kind of melon am I suppose to eat?
Lastly, do I need to exercise with this?

I’ve done the 3 day diet.
You can drink any tea you want, just don’t add milk, cream or sugar.
The vegetables should be cooked without any butter or oils – steaming is the best, or you can eat them raw if you want.
It can be any kind of toast – rye, whole wheat, 7 grain are the healthiest instead of white bread.
Tuna – you can eat canned tuna if you want instead of a tuna fillet that has to be cooked. The frankfurter can be boiled or baked, it doesn’t matter, as long as none of the meat is fried you can cook them any other way you want.
Canteloupe melon is the best to eat on this diet, but you can have watermelon or honeydew melon if you don’t like canteloupe.
You should exercise a little – go for a nice walk each day, but it is not necessary – you eat so little food on this diet that you are guaranteed to lose at least a couple of pounds even without exercising.
