Does Anyone Have Any Creative Weight Loss Recipes?
I’m 19 and my husband is 22, we both have full-time jobs and are incredible busy, he is a computer technician that works a regular 9-5 job at a software developer and he runs his own business. I work as a sales representative for a wholesale shoe business, with a desk job that requires some but not much physical activity. I’ve always been a bit over weight and even though I just lost 30 pounds, have plateaued to 140, I’m 5’4 and do not consider myself fat, just I do have a few pounds to lose.My husband on the other hand, is 6’0 feet and 240 pounds which really worries me, he is a food lover of everything that is edible. And like I said, we are both extremely BUSY people so it’s hard to do groceries or take 30 minutes to walk everyday, but we do it anyway.
I’ve tried putting us on a “diet” which consists of 6 day’s of healthy eating and one day of eating whatever we wish.
But I’ve grown tired of the food I’ve been cooking which has been salmon, rice, beans, chicken, veggies, more chicken, we have steak once a week, and some sort of pasta, whether it’s spaghetti or fettuccine Alfredo once a week. I’ve noticed that the same things are sooooo boring and have found it hard to actually incorporate VEGETABLES in our diets. Fruits are easy, veggies are hard.
The recipes online are filled with vegetables that I don’t even know what they are or how to prepare. I’ve tried researching online any simple food recipes but the ones I have tried are just NOT my taste.
Anyone have their on recipes or an online source that has regular easy recipes for everyday people that don’t know how to pouch and what not?
BTW….
It’s not that I don’t have time because I have a 9-5 job. Like I said… we run our own business and going to open a store in Jan meaning we have absolutely NO time… except for today that I took a day off but my husband is STILL working (he’s been out since 8 am, will get home here at 12 am to wake up at 6 to go to work again, and we work 1 hour from where we live so add 2 hours of commute everyday). So it’s harsh when someone accuses us me of not working hard, of being lazy, of working less so I can just get “paid”. No… I work hard because I want my hard work to make ME wealthy, not to make other people wealthy through MY hard work… But like I said, I’ve been putting us on a diet plus excising at least for 30-45 min a day. SO don’t be harsh please :).

I dont have a specific answer for you, but i can tell you that juicing your vegetables, if you can get used to the taste, is extremely beneficial for your body, and can help boost your metabolism. I went on a 5 day juice cleanse, i juiced my own vegetables, added a small amount of fruit for taste. I found recepies in First magezine, they have creative healthy recipes so check them out. Anyway, i lost 4 lbs that week, and felt great to boot! Btw i am 21 and 5’3, about 145lbs. I know how it feels to want to get rid of just those few extras 🙂 here is what i usually had for breakfast, but keep in mind, you have to get used to the taste, and tweak it where you need to…if you cant handle the celery taste, omit it, i did some days.
Juice all this together:
1 Beet
3 Carrots
2 Apples
2 Celery stalks
1/2 inch ginger root (for taste)
1/2 lemon
( i added fresh spinach sometimes, but unless you have a high grade juicer, its better to put spinach in a blender)
substitue apples if you want, i added it to this recipe to add some sweet. Also any red fruit boosts metabolism as well, such as red grapes. Good luck
