Reddit mentions: The best weight loss recipes books

I went on the hunt for meal prep stuff, including the subreddit specifically for that stuff, and still found everything pretty intimidating.

What ended up working for me was low-stress breakfasts and lunches throughout the week (stuff that I can prepare quickly at work if I need to and don't seem to get tired of), and then Sunday prep of 3-4 servings of two different dinner dishes that will keep and reheat throughout the week. I don't store every single portion by itself to begin with--but I do weigh things out after prepping so I know how much I have, and can therefore reasonably calculate the weight of a serving. And that's what I use when I'm slopping things into a bowl or plate throughout the week... but yeah, in my case, eff storing everything all neat and tidy in all these different single meal packs. I'm a crock pot queen and dishing out an accurate serving doesn't exactly take me so much time that I need to portion things out in advance (also, my roommate probably wouldn't have it if I suddenly started taking up 3/4 of the fridge with meal packets).

On a typical work day, what my lazy weekend dinner preps lead to is:

Breakfast (~200 cals) [prep time approximately 2 mins]

• low-cal instant oatmeal with sliced banana
  
  Lunch (~450 cals) [prep time approximately 10 mins]
  
  
• "lite" creamed eggs (two eggs, as much ground pepper as I want, 1"x0.5"x0.25" lil' pat of butter, 1 tbsp sour cream stirred in after scrambling to keep the eggs from continuing to cook in the pot, 0.5 tsp sriracha stirred in)
  
  
• spinach salad (30g spinach, .25 oz sliced almonds, 3 chopped medium strawberries, tsp raisins, 2 tbsp lite sesame dressing)
  
  
• a chobani "simply 100" greek yogurt for dessert
  
  Dinner (~400 cals) [prepped on Sunday, so all I need to do is heat it up after I get home from work and work out]
  
  
• 2 servings (snort, snort) of Thai Chicken Curry Soup - although I don't even cut the chicken breast or handle it at all until it's cooked because I'm a wimp like that... just toss it in the crock pot and shred it after 4 hours (when I put the peas in)... involves fishing it out of the pot with some tongs, then letting it "rest" and cool a bit on a board so it can be cut/shredded, and then just chucking it right back in the pot. I also get lite coconut milk for this recipe to cut down on the calorie count of a serving.
  
  I get my remaining daily allotted calories in snack form -- usually pretty healthy stuff, although I've been on a pistachio kick lately (bad llama!). A banana here, handful of nuts there, some grapes (shocking how many grapes you can snack on... they are SO low-cal). I TRACK EVERYTHING THAT GOES IN MY MOUTH. Eventually, some fine day, I won't have to do this, because I will have taught myself what a reasonable day of eating is, but right now I don't know, so I have to rely on my scale friend.
  
  I typically treat myself Saturday night, but make sure that whatever I order is within that day's calorie goal.
  
  I hate cooking and I love eating, but I found the adjustment to lazy meal prep pretty easy. I'm not a novelty princess, though-- I don't need to eat a different thing every meal of the week to enjoy food. Over time, your mindset readjusts to the comfort and confidence of knowing what you're going to eat throughout the day over the way I used to eat, which was NO planning and just go with whatever I can dream up I want (usually by playing "What do YOU want? No, what do YOU want?" with my boyfriend every night for half an hour before caving and ordering something fast and greasy).
  
  Get a crock pot if you don't already have one. Google "healthy crock pot recipes" and "fast crock pot recipes." If you like fish, especially salmon, you're in luck -- you can glaze and broil filets of the stuff in like 10 minutes. There's a metric crap ton of delicious food that isn't horrible for you that is shockingly fast and easy to make. On Sundays, I usually go for a recipe that's a LITTLE more time consuming for one of the dinners, and something fast and dirty for the other (like those salmon filets).
  
  Also -- Food scale it up, girl, with those snacks. Do you know what a serving of your favorite snack actually looks like? Some of this stuff came as a huge shock to me when I first started. I still do what I want when it comes to a lot of food, but I know my limits as dictated by the scale.
  
  Best of luck!
  
  ETA: As if this isn't long enough, but I just found this book, Cook This, Not That. It has recipes comparable to a lot of stuff you can get at chain restaurants, at a fraction of the calories and cost. I'm going to make a curry from this book as my "challenging" dinner prep meal this week.

I'd like to recommend a book - it *really* helped me in terms of my "pleasure addiction" to food. I too eat food for comfort, and have problems not being hungry but still wanting to eat.

The book is "The French Don't Diet" by William Clower. I just recently bought it on Amazon for $6.59! (it is rather old now, I think it was published in 2006).

The reason it helped:

There are concrete ways to "turn down" your appestat. Meaning: To enjoy the food you choose to eat even more than you enjoy the food you eat now - but still eating less than you do now. It's about portion control, but so much more than this. It's about turning the enjoyment of food UP, and the quantity down. Once you get this, you'll enjoy food so much *more* than you do now, but you'll find you just need less. There are many ways to do this, and the book can walk you through all of it.

It's frigging amazing. I can't say enough about this book. Honestly, go get yourself a copy - even if it's from your local public library. I wanted to own it, because my library had long-since gotten rid of their single copy.

Good luck to you, OP. The answer is out there. You just have to embrace it.

Edited: Here's the link in Amazon for this book if you are interested. You can get a used copy for a ridiculously low price as well, if that's your style. That's what I did.

https://www.amazon.com/French-Dont-Diet-Plan-Simple/dp/0307336522/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+french+don%27t+diet&qid=1563844148&s=gateway&sr=8-1

Just remember little by little. Don't try to change your life in a day, add small steps each week to achieve your goals!

There are soooo many different combinations of food you can buy. My personal recommendation never changes though: 1/2 veggies, 1/4 lean meats, 1/4 fruits & other foods that you enjoy (can be candy or anything) also lots and lots of eggs! They're kind of in their own category, I just always buy 2 dozen whenever I go to the store! I would not recommend juicing honestly. It's good for pre/post workout shakes and what not, but since all of the food becomes a liquid (obviously) it is digested MUCH quicker than solid food such as chicken. It can be done, don't let me deter you if that is the path you wish to take...but generally a diet like that is hard to follow and gets very boring very quickly!

If you want to see some awesome recipes check out book like this: http://www.amazon.com/Shredded-Chef-Recipes-Building-Getting/dp/1478213655/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1368930754&sr=1-4&keywords=mike+matthews

I own that book and love a good amount of the recipes!

Also, check out Derek Howes Fitness! His recipes are ORGASMIC, and extremely sound nutrition wise (some have a high amount of sodium, but you can remove some of that sodium with substitutes)

> A lot of my uncertainty comes from not understanding the proper risks. No matter how much I research I'm met with a myriad of opposing answers.

When researching this subreddit for specific queries, definitely go with the Google search method versus Reddit's search engine. For example, before I started my first extended fast, I was really curious about electrolyte supplementation. So I put this into Google:

electrolytes site:www.reddit.com/r/fasting

It was still a lot of information to sort through, but the results are vastly superior to whatever method Reddit uses for its search function. Just substitute "electrolytes" for your specific keywords in that search string.

I started out with alternate day / intermittent fasting around two years ago, and I found these books to be really informative at that time:

The Every-Other-Day Diet (Krista Varady)

The Alternate-Day Diet (James Johnson)

The Fast Diet (Michael Mosley)

There's also a free, quick-read eBook about 19:5 eating windows by Bert Herring called The Fast 5 Diet.

For a very complete, comprehensive guides - with an emphasis on the benefits of extended fasting - my top recommendation would be these two books by Dr. Jason Fung, as well as his Intensity Dietary Management blog. He's also a co-host on the Fasting Talk podcast, which thus far has published 20 lengthy but very informative episodes. Because Dr. Fung is directly involved in those resources, they would be your best source of consistent and well-researched information from someone who's considered to be an authority on fasting.

I hope this helps!

I picked up this cookbook at the dollarstore on impulse but honestly the recipes have been really good:

https://www.amazon.com/Betty-Crocker-Calorie-Comfort-Food-ebook/dp/B00E78IB20

I'm not sure if this is a book you can find outside of Canada but many many years ago (like the 90's) two 'diet' cookbooks came out that were insanely popular; Looney Spoons was the first, followed by Crazy Plates. The recipes are pretty good and have the nutritional information for each one. Also because they were so popular they are pretty easy to find at thrift stores.

OK found it on Amazon.com for under $20:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/096806311X/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_hdyACb8C87SR7

There already is a great amount of information posted. I went from being pudgy, 30 pounds overweight to in shape in about 3-4 months time.

1. Educate yourself. A lot of the struggled at first was to understand how the body works, how we process food and being able to understand why I should or should not eat something. I got started by reading the 5 Factor Diet and it helped me formulate a good game plan. It gave good advice like 6 on, 1 off (6 days of healthy eating, one day to eat what you want)
   
   
2. As mentioned, find something physical that you enjoy. There is nothing more grueling to me than sitting in a gym on an elliptical machine. I see people sitting on machines, talking on a cellphone, turning away. If you can talk on a cellphone, you are not getting a good workout. I took up jiu jitsu and fell in love with it. Now if I go to the gym, I am motivated to lift harder/run longer/ etc because I want to do better in jiu jitsu.
   
   
3. Fill your mind, fill your day. I found that I kept to my diet and was happier when I kept constantly busy and had nothing but goals in front of me. Keeping busy with school/work/gym work outs/ extra curricular left me little time to eat junk food and instead I was forced to be more organized and make sure I found ways to stick to my diet. Of course, this takes some planning as some busy people fall to the trap of eating fast food because they don't "have time" to cook for themselves.
   
   
4. Quick food tip: Don't eat anything out of a box. I can give a lot of various advice but this one will help the most. When dieting (and in general) you should stay away from processed, high sodium foods. Learn to eat everything fresh and the best way to do that is not to eat processed foods. There are obvious exceptions (oatmeal comes from a box but is great for you).

sounds like you're on the right track! yes, you can totally indulge occasionally and still lose weight and be healthy. as for spending a lot of time in the kitchen, i do spend more than i used to, but i don't slave away. this is how i cook fish. you can use whatever spices/veggies you want. you just fold it up in some parchment, cook it for 10 minutes on high heat, and voila. takes almost no time, and it's perfect for single servings, so your intolerant spouse doesn't have to eat it! also, the same guy who wrote the glycemic load diet cowrote a glycemic load cookbook if you need help coming up with quick, healthy dinner ideas. you may even be able to find something your spouse will eat! :)

keep up the good work!

I just tried this recipe for keto pumpkin bread! They recommend to leave the loaf to set overnight (I put mine in the fridge.) I will definitely make it again as it was delicious.


Recipe:

Ingredients:

2 cup Almond flour

1/2 cup Coconut flour (I used 2 cups plus 2 tbsp a combination paleo nut flour I found at Whole Foods instead of the two different kinds of flour.)

3/4 cup Erythritol

2 tsp Pumpkin pie spice

2 tsp Gluten-free baking powder

1/4 tsp Sea salt

3/4 cup Pumpkin puree

4 large Egg (lightly beaten)

1/3 cup Butter (measured solid, then melted; can use ghee or coconut
oil for dairy-free)

1/4 cup Pumpkin seeds


Process:

-Preheat oven to 375ºF.

-Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

-Combine dry ingredients (except pumpkin seeds.)

-Combine wet ingredients.

-Incorporate wet ingredients into dry ingredients.

-Pour the batter into the loaf pan, making sure it is relatively flat on top. I pressed it with a baking spatula.

-Pour the pumpkin seeds over the batter in the pan. To ensure the seeds don't run away when you go to cut the bread later, you can press them into the dough, although I didn't do this.

-Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

I took the recommendation from the Keto Comfort Foods cookbook to do confectioners' Swerve instead of granulated erythritol. I often find when I use granulated stevia/erythritol-based sweeteners in baking, it leads to an overly-grainy, bitter, and cooling/sickly-sweet quality to the food. I would definitely choose the confectioners' again for this one, and maybe next time pair the confectioner's with some stevia glycerite to improve the texture.

Thanks for the support! I truly love how I feel when I do keto. Full of energy, and I don't really have cravings between meals (unless I'm in a room with pizza or something). I try to always keep a lunchbox nearby with some cheese and pepperoni to snack on when I get hungry, and that helps a bunch. The hardest part is meal planning, but I use the recipes in The TNT Diet and find them easy to prepare (since the book is marketed toward men) and incredibly delicious! What are your tips for meal planning?

Stick with it and you'll be fine. Don't panic. You got this.

You've found a great community here and they are very supportive.

The FAQ here is very helpful for getting started.

If you do want to read a book on Keto, I'd suggest the original Dr. Atkins book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0553271571/

Get the Hungry Girl Clean and Hungry and Our Best Bites cook books. They come with calorie info, and you can start making healthy food that still tastes good. I find when I'm making home cooked, good tasting food, my cravings to eat crappy junk go down.

Hungry Girl Clean & Hungry: Easy All-Natural Recipes for Healthy Eating in the Real World https://www.amazon.com/dp/0312676778/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_jzUDxbB0AF8T1

400 Calories or Less with Our Best Bites https://www.amazon.com/dp/1609079914/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_jAUDxbD8HJEDZ

Also a strategy a buddy of mine gave me was, when you cave and eat something terrible, write down how it made you feel (ex. It wasn't as good as you thought, or you felt gross after or whatever). Then when you're tempted to break into the twinkies again, read it and you won't want it as much.

Edit: also, if they overstock the fridge with crappy stuff, get a mini fridge for your room where you can keep basic healthy stuff.

I recommend you get a good recipe/cookbook.

Two books I've used are The Abs Diet and Muscle Chow.

Both are really good, although Abs Diet is probably better if you're looking to lose some weight while Muscle Chow for putting on muscle. Both include really easy recipes and all use healthy whole ingredients.

Interesting I just checked the site and they are not showing the nutritional information anymore. But I have The Weight Watchers Complete Cookbook (has some great recipes in it) and they all have a full nutritional read out: calories, fat, sat fat, cholesterol, sodium, carb, sugar, fiber, protein, etc. Along with the weight watchers point system
and
This is the book I have
https://www.amazon.com/Weight-Watchers-Complete-Cookbook-Fourth/dp/047061451X/

and I also have this book that is pretty good
https://www.amazon.com/Preventions-Dieting-Weight-Cookbook-Seven-Step-Get-Slim/dp/0875961983

I have one friend that really well on "The Plan," https://smile.amazon.com/Plan-Eliminate-Surprising-Healthy-Fat/dp/1455515493/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+plan&qid=1554808606&s=gateway&sr=8-1 The author believes everyone responds differently to foods. She picks the "least inflammatory" foods and then you slowly reintroduce food types to see if you are reactive to a particular food--it helps you pick the best diet for you.

Sounds like you need a guy's cookbook.

There are two I'd recommend:

A man, a can, a plan
http://www.amazon.com/Man-Can-Plan-Great-Meals/dp/1579546072

Muscle Chow
http://www.amazon.com/Mens-Health-Muscle-Chow-Workouts/dp/1594865485/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1303829929&sr=1-1

Both have fairly easy recipes that are geared towards a guy's taste buds and they keep hassle and cooking to a minimum.

All recipes give you a breakdown of calories, protein, carbs, etc. so you just need to figure out how many calories you need each day and then choose the recipes that add up to that total.

Hope that helps!

The Hairy Dieters: Fast Food (Hairy Bikers) - easily the best healthy recipe book I've found.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0297609319/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_-soVzb6W203P5

Ready meals: go to Sainsburys and have a look at their "my goodness!" range -- other supermarkets probably/likely do similar foods but I've found that Sainsburys is, y'know, good. They do things like a roast chicken dinner (285kcal), chilli prawn linguini (391kcal), mushroom risotto (349kcal), pulled pork & sweet potato mash (305kcal). All are reasonable in terms of protein and carbs, lowish in fat (mainly sat fat), but are a bit pricey (£2-£3.25) and can be a bit high in salt (~1.3-1.8g per pack).

Similarly, their stonebaked pizzas are pretty reasonable per half-pizza -- 382kcal for 1/2 chicken & pesto, 540kcal for 1/2 hot & spicy. Serve that up with a bit low-cal salad. Again, salt is a little bit high.

Iceland. I know it might have a bit of an odd reputation (that they're trying to improve), but their "meals in a bag" are another option. Each bag is 2 portions, and calorie counts are from 293 (fajita mix, though I'd toss in some tortillas and toppings) to 517kcal a serving (chicken & bacon creamy pasta). Iceland also sell Slimming World and Weight Watchers meals.

For grabbing on the go, McDonald's grilled chicken wraps are ~330kcal each (grilled, not crispy -- stating this again because the difference is ~130kcal). Add a small fries and a water or diet soft drink and you're looking at ~700kcal without extra dipping sauces. By my rough estimates your TDEE is ~3800, so a 700kcal meal is 1/4 of your 2800kcal intake to lose 2lb a week.

Visit /r/mealprepsunday for information on how to meal prep one day a week and get yourself a slow cooker (or, better, a multifunction electric cooker). Grab some of these meal prep containers and freeze them. Have a look at The Hairy Dieters Fast Food for ideas -- all the meals in that book require a max 30mins prep/cook, and some are slow cooker/pressure cooker recipes that you can set and forget.

i just got this book and it's been awesome for me. lost almost 10 pounds and started on 1/11. Plus the book was 3.00 plus change on Amazon. Its a quick read...alot of recipes which take up alot of space. one detail, i keep keto and do NOT eat "whatever i want" on eating days. i count calories, but if i am hungry, i eat something keto. i don't sit around starving :) I didn't believe the hunger would go away but for me anyway it did just as the author said.

>I cannot actually recommend any specific such cookbook

I can! This one is pretty great for CICO, as it gives all your nutritional info on every recipe. And, unlike a lot of recipes you find online, these were tested over and over again.

p.s. This one is also good, although less food porn-y. Honestly, I prefer this one, but it doesn't have as much visual appeal.

• The Every-Other Day Diet^TM (modified)
  
• When 16th Sep - 3rd Oct
  
• Why? Fat loss and self care
  
  Notes
  
  The Every-Other Day Diet^TM isn't seen much around here but the summary is eat normally one day, eat only 500 Cal the next. The 500Cal is preferably a single meal but it's OK to spread it out. It's Alternate Day Fasting with a meal thrown in on the fasting day. The author of the book on it has plenty of research articles on it.
  
  I'm doing a modified version to match my needs. For the "fast" day meal I'm having a 6 egg scramble with garlic and salt. On the other day I don't have a calorie limit but am only having middle bacon and high fat minced/ground beef.
  
  So so far it's been:
  
  

• 16th Sept: 6 eggs, 444Cal
  
• 17th Sept: 81g middle bacon, 460g "regular" beef mince, 1,229Cal
  
• 18th Sept: 6 eggs, 444Cal
  
  So it's a keto/carnivore factor but even then narrowing it down much further to just eggs, bacon & mince. This is mostly to help further limit my calorie intake (it's hard to eat even 1,200Cal of mostly mince) but also to keep my blood glucose & insulin as low as possible.

De nada :)
La cuestión de la dieta ketogenica o cetogenica es que es cualquier dieta que te baje el nivel de carbos a un punto en el que tu cuerpo pase de utilizar la insulina como energpia a utilicar cetonas como energia, por eso es que se llama cetogenica/ketogenica. Hay varias dietas alli afuera que se basan en bajar el consumo de carbos, muchos acá como tu misma comentas estnán haciendo basicamente en la primera fase de la dieta Atkins, que se llama fase de inducción y basicamente es la que te permite comer toda la proteína y grasas que queiras, y maximo 20 gm de carbos al dpia en forma de vegetales, quesos. Si puedes conseguir el libro de la dietas atkins original, el del año 72 ese es el que te trata la propia dieta ketogenica que hacen mayormente en /r/keto

The All-New Complete Cooking Light Cookboook has tons of recipes for everything you can imagine, and everything is delicious! Haven't made a bad recipe out of there yet.

I have Cooking Light's book Cooking that Counts. I've liked everything I've tried so far. It has calorie counts and suggestions for up to 1500 calorie a day diets. This is nice if you're eating with a spouse who needs more calories.

If you want a quick do-it-yourself eating and workout plan, then check out the "TNT Diet". Check out the forums for quick tips.

The TNT Diet is what got me into eating way different from everybody else. Give it a chance, but make sure you read the book and understand what you are trying to do. There will be many times when you have to refer back to it or the forum.

This book has been out a few years but I spotted it in a recent article. Below is an Amazon.com link if you want to read some comments about it:

The Mayo Clinic Diet: Eat well, Enjoy Life, Lose Weight: By the weight-loss experts at Mayo Clinic: 9781561486762: Amazon.com: Books

https://www.amazon.com/Mayo-Clinic-Diet-Enjoy-Weight/dp/1561486760/

My ex-gf bought me this book for my birthday: http://www.amazon.com/The-Mayo-Clinic-Diet-Weight/dp/1561486760/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1341295820&sr=8-1&keywords=mayo+clinic (Among other things. It was kind of a care package with other things).

I got the hint right away, and I thought it was sweet of her. (I lost 30 lbs since then, but we are no longer together. Another woman is enjoying the outcome :D)

You can do it. That's the thing. You've proven to it yourself before this time, and it's fine that you had a moment of weakness during a difficult time. You are allowed to be human once in a while. The brain will lie to you to get what it wants and sometimes will throw a tantrum to do it. It's like a spoiled, manipulative child at times, and as we know, you can't give into that because that's not what's best for it. It's what you do after those hard times that really matters, and you sound determined!

Might not be useful to you, but I bought this keto comfort foods recipe book that I'm really looking forward to indulging in, especially once it starts cooling down outside (as in, below 80 degrees, at least).

Jeff Volek is a professor at the University of Connecticut and has been conducting his own research on low-carb diets for several years now. For people that are into the science of low carb, he should be your hero. His collaboration with Adam Campbell, the TNT Diet is what first introduced me to low carb living and ultimately changed my life.

good one too

> They based the study on Atkins' 1972 book rather than a more recent version... it's not clear why they chose to do that as it seems like dieters in 2011 would be more interested in a newer Atkins book like any of his 2003 books.

As far as I can tell this is a reference problem in the published paper. The paper explicitly references the title of the newer book:

> The LCHF group was instructed to follow the guidelines described in Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution [6] aiming to limit carbohydrate intake, and otherwise eat ad libitum

Atkins' New Diet Revolution actually is the newer/more updated one. However, if you look at reference 6 it says:

> R.A. Atkins, Dr. Atkins` Diet Revolution: The High Calorie Way to Stay Thin Forever, Bantam, 1972.

The original book is just called the Diet Revolution, New Diet Revolution actually is the more recent book that would have been pertinent at the time this was conducted in 2012.

This is actually worth pointing out to the journal and/or authors imo. I suspect they used the more recent book but have a reference error for reference 6.
