Does anyone have a good receipe for Taco or Tostada? Can you have that on Alli? I am a Newbie and still learning what I can eat and what not to.

Thank you

On the go breakfast ideas?

Night_Childe25 — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 16:33:18 GMT

Hi eveyone! I'm new. I'm just starting the diet and I've come to some realizations:

1. I had no idea just how little I actually ate on a daily basis until I starting keeping a food journal.

and

2. I need some ideas for food on the go that don't come from a drive thru. I have an early morning shift with a long commute. I have no time to cook before I leave and I have no time to stop at a drive-thru. Waking up earlier is not an option. I already rise before the chickens. LOL Really. I'm up every morning at 3:30am.

What I need are recipes and ideas for breakfast or lunch that not only can be made the night before to grab and go the next day but that are also close to what I should be eating fat wise. (I'm finding it very difficult to eat the amount of fat I should. I'm so used to being told to reduce my fat to next to nothing that I'm afraid the larger fat intake will cause me to gain weight instead of lose it.) Does anyone have any suggestions? Someone please help.

Peanut Butter

tiffany_moore — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 14:53:02 GMT

How is everyone eating peanut butter??The peanut butter I have is creamy Jiff and it has like 17grams of fat per 2 tbsp??That is two over the fat allowances per my meal. I am suppose to have 19 fat grams per meal, but I am doing 15 fat grams per meal becuse I m fraid of treatment effects. But how are you guys eating peanut butter with other things?

Any Chicken Ideas

dghtjudy2 — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 19:49:16 GMT

I've been sticking a lot to the boneless chicken breast. Im already on the 4th day of my diet and ive been eating the same thing for dinner. I take a few sliced of chicken breast, half an onion, half a tomato (chop those up) and put them in a pan with a little bit of tomato sauce garlic and cumin. I usually put it in a fat free torilla and add a little bit of low fat cheese.. it comes out to be pretty tasty... but I need a new chicken recipe before i go INSANE... lol... can anyone help me ...

Smoothie recipies??

HB_angel_2003 — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 20:30:29 GMT

Does anyone have any smoothie recipies other than the ones listed in the meal plan section? I have two kids and i am a full time college student. Smoothies are easy for my to fix and take on the go. The only thing i don't like are raspberries. Thanks alot

Assistance with my morning diet...

pawlpawl — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 02:52:43 GMT

Iv basically planned out my daily diet routine, to get the right calorie/fat intakes. But iv come across a problem with my morning portion, they want you to get around 15g of fat per meal, but I find it very hard to do so for breakfast, I leave for work at 530, so I dont have much time to fix anything elaborate, is there any ideas on a quick food that can get me the amounts I need and get me out of the door on time?

Until I figure it out, iv been doing a bowl of Raisin Bran and a plain bagel with nothing on it.

COOKBOOK

rl_sullivan — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 13:26:03 GMT

I have got to recommend this cookbook to you all! It is full of yummy recipes and I also think some of them can be adjusted very easily to accomodate the fat grams needs for the Alli nutrition plan...

It's called "Hungry Girl - 200 recipes under 200 calories"

My favorite is the oriental chicken salad!! SOOO easy to make and have on hand too. I think you can up the fat content by adding some nuts to it!

Enjoy!

Is Cheerio's ok the on the Alli plan???

mscab54 — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 23:18:52 GMT

Hi Alli members !!!!

Thank you,

Chicken Sausage

kshonson — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 15:40:54 GMT

Wow I found this really great restaurant in GA called The Flying Biscuit. I was trying to find something on a breakfast menu besides turkey bacon and turkey when I found this place. They serve what is called a chicken sausage and it was delicious!

THE USUAL_WHAT TO EAT

beachgirl28457 — Wed, 21 May 2008 18:12:39 GMT

I just bought my pills today and haven't actually started. I just dn't know what I should eat. I don't want to wind up "messing" all over myself at work. I've read about some of the side effects. If I eat low fat foods like yogurt do I need a pill? If I only eat a chicken breasft for lunch and a salad do I need a pill? I'm sorta scared to start.

i am going to do it

babygurl18 — Thu, 28 May 2009 22:46:48 GMT

i started tommorw yeah

Advice please

Alliandrina — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 01:29:38 GMT

I will be starting with alli with in the next couple of days. My mom is helping me by giving me a list of foods and their accompanying information. My concern is that when I leave her home to return to where I am staying, I won't have access to the same type of food. We normally don't have fresh fruit in the house for any length of time because it gets eaten with in days. My grandma buys whatever food we do have and I really don't have the money to buy my own set of groceries. I am not working and I am going to school full time.

Looking at the sample menu and even at some of the suggestions for breakfast just seem to extravagent for me. I can definitely do toast and cereal in the morning but absolutely no peanut butter. But looking at what everyone else has written, it doesn't seem like that would be enough. Would it be? If it isn't what would be simple breakfast solutions without making a smoothie or making an omelett or waffles and again absolutely no pb (i just can't stand the taste or the feeling of it stuck to your mouth).

thanks in advance.

Almond Milk

missyb7438 — Thu, 21 May 2009 15:38:56 GMT

I drink and use almond milk all the time! One thing I do is make a cup of chocolote sweet (120 cals) unsweet (45 cals) and warm it up in the microwave and drink it with breakfest it's really GOOD! I also make smoothies with it.

Chocolote peanut butter banana smoothie

8oz of chocolote almond milk

1tbls of peanut butter

1 med chopped frozen banana

blend all together and enjoy

You can almond milk in orginal and vanillia! Try it!

Spice up oatmeal!!

ktstato — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 17:59:16 GMT

I wanted to share a strange combination I ate for breakfast that is amazingly good!

Start with oatmeal, made how you like, I use the fruit and cream packages, varying the flavor. These are typically low in fat, so to add a bit more, stir in a tablespoon of peanut butter. I know it sounds crazy to mix with the fruit and cream instant flavors, but it is truely amazing! And, being oatmeal, it keeps you full for much longer than most breakfast items. Try it, yum!

help me!!

ckbrown715 — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 22:03:48 GMT

so i have a nut allergy i cant eat any nuts.

i asked Pat on the dietitian forum what are good substitutes for nuts to help with gaining my calories and fats

he suggested olives, avacado, and cheese.

im not a fan of olives though but ill try something new just for the sake of giving it a try.

i know pretty much any omlette with cheese and some meat will help starting off my day with cal and fat but does anyone else have any food ideas for breakfast.. and so that i dont make mutliple messages any ideas for snacks and lunch??

What I have ate for breakfast and lost 22lbs in 9 weeks!

mwok2004 — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 14:12:02 GMT

Just some fresh ideas of the 2 breakfast meals I have rotated every morning for 9 weeks.

Real simple is a bowl of 100% Bran Flakes does not matter what the brand name is.

Bran Flakes 1 1/2 cups equals 220 calories and that is a huge bowl. I put in 2% milk which is 130 calories which is a total of 350 calories. The fiber in the bran flakes keeps me feeling fuller longer. I also put splenda on my bran flakes to sweeten it up.

The 2nd breakfast item I eat 3-4 times a week is:

2 Jimmy Dean Turkey sausage patties ( or 3 Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage LINKS) The all equal 120 calories and 7 grams of fat.

1 1/4 cups of ORE IDA Hash Browns 70 calories and 0 grams of fat made with Olive Oil cooking spray.

9 tablespoons of EGG BEATERS 100% egg whites 75 calories 0 grams of fat ! Use the 0 calorie Olive oil Spray.

1/2 cup of canned diced tomatoes 25 calories

You can add more or less 50-75 calories of egg or has browns

BUT THIS MAKES A HUGE PLATE OF FOOD FOR ONLY 290 CALORIES !!! AND 7 GRAMS OF FAT !

Breakfast is the most important meal and should be your biggest one to get your metabolism rolling.

I hope this helps someone. And Please post me some ideas I would love them or I would not be on here looking in this area for recipes LOL !!

Thanks Amanda

Cooking

Zubastone — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 09:51:42 GMT

Hi, I just started with the Alli plan but right-away one of my problems is the cooking. I've never really done any cooking and I was just looking at my meal plan and I need all these different ingredients for every meal. I would be up for the challenge of preparing these items (some of them look quite good) but the problem is if I use 1/3 Avocado, what do I do with the rest? If I use 1/3 can of refried beans then I'm just supposed to throw the rest away? I can't just purchase materials, take them home, use a tiny bit then throw the rest away but the meal plan just calls for a bit of this or that and the following items on the menu never take into consideration what ingredients you have on hand from the previous dishes. So the perishables just perish. This would be hugely expensive and a total waste. Should I just not pay attention to the meal plan and buy prepared foods that are low in calories and fat or is there someway to cook my own meals that is inexpensive and mindful of waste?

I start tomorrow (Saturday)

tiffster11 — Sat, 09 May 2009 06:51:15 GMT

Technically, Saturday is here now as it is 1:45 AM but I am still up from Friday so technically I start when I wake up. I just wanted to let everyone know that while preparing for my new Alli journey I grabbed an Egg White Turkey Sausage Flatbread Breakfast sandwich and it was so good! I was surprised, because I have had them off and on since the product launched, even when I was not thinking about Alli. Today was the best I have had yet. Call it coincedence, that I finally started liking the crazy diet food but I have to say it was the best and after thoroughly reviewing all the nutritionals it falls well into the Alli guidelines. I am looking forward into incorporating this into my bi-daily work breakfast. I also plan to grab some portable fruit cups to compliment them to add extra nutrients. I am happy. I can't wait to start. I know I am going to do great on this diet.

ADD FAT vs. eat low fat and don't take the pill.....

mainemom — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 12:48:17 GMT

if i regularly eat a low/no fat bkfst...am i better off purposely adding fat to my bkfst(using real cream vs. fat free cream is one idea i have had and would LOVE to do!!!!) eating a tsp of p. butter....

or stick w/my cereal w/fruit i eat more mornings?

i REALLY really really need to lose weight....so whichever is better for that....i will do.
