They are GREAT! <BR/><BR/>Don't be so hard on yourself Jen. You are working out like crazy...but, no matter how much you workout, if you aren't eating a "healthy" diet (and within your calorie range), your weight isn't going to go down.<BR/><BR/>I'm proud of you for making the change to your eating habits. Eating smaller meals, 5-6 times a day is PERFECT! Especially since you are adding so much great protein to your diet! You go Girl!!!!KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18396429002961412543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11864721.post-91375444666154623492008-02-07T06:20:00.000-06:002008-02-07T06:20:00.000-06:00The more fiber you eat the fuller you feel.

I've been adding lots more fruit and veggies (as well as milled flax seed) to most things I cook and it is making a remarkable difference on portion control because I actually feel full. I got the cookbook "Deceptively Delicious" by Jessica Seinfield (Jerry's wife). She purees fruits and veggies and adds them to her cooking. I have only tried a few of her recipes because I think they are a little bland and maybe too healthy for our family to eat consistently so I've been making my own recipes.<BR/><BR/>My hubby's been raving about the food I'm making and he hates most veggies. I haven't noticed a weight difference yet cuz I'm still eating fast food junk while building the house.<BR/><BR/>Nutritionist sounds like a great idea.Jenellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16264115988026998255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11864721.post-61615664694665792012008-02-06T21:10:00.000-06:002008-02-06T21:10:00.000-06:00Good choice on the meal/calorie changes.

Anything more, like the 2100 you mentioned, and the weight isn't going to go anywhere, even if you are burning a lot during your workouts. My protein is way low too, so I left out an EAS shake for the morning so it's done and then I don't have to worry the rest of the day. For fiber, try the Benefiber tablets. They don't rip up my stomach like other traditional fiber-rich foods. Of course, there's plenty of fiber in apples, grapes, leafy greens, etc, so try to incorporate those too. Thanks for posting. I haven't gone down either since I last talked about it, so reading your is great motivation. Maybe I should write about my weigh-ins too, frustrating or not, they do keep you accountable.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Jen!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04903029958201806185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11864721.post-39574276748418127112008-02-06T18:33:00.000-06:002008-02-06T18:33:00.000-06:00Ben went to see the nutritionist today.
