When u get a craving...

[Babyfaced Assassin]

When i get a craving for food and i shouldn't eat much this is what i do, granted it's gonna have carbs but they're ultimately low gi and good for you

I rip open a bag of mixed frozen veggies
green beans, peas, sweetcorn, baby carrots
i then steam them and eat until i'm full... i found that this kills all cravings for me as i like the taste especially when mixed with a touch of hot sauce... mix in some tuna for protein too

1/3rd of a bag (which was enough to fill me up lol) had about 15g of carbs!!!!

try it next time u get the munchies

That's what I do, too - is it time to bump my infamous "I ate a pound and a half of broccoli and several pounds of tomatoes" post?

 

[Babyfaced Assassin]

ceebs, I was a bigger fan of your 'other' avatar

spinach/broccoli normally does the job for me...

 

[Babyfaced Assassin]

how do u guys eat ur spinach, my mother makes some fantastic curries out of it but they are all sauteed in oil so i hardly eat her spinach... any good ideas?

 

[sawastea]

I normally eat it raw, from the pack it comes in...We have a wholesale store called COSTCO/BJ's where they sell spinach in a bag (1 pound, .4 kg)...It contains about 8-10 swervings...I grab a handful and eat it straight or I may add some carb free dressing so I can dip it

i really can't eat spinach raw without flavour lol

You mean basically any other one than the really evil (and Photoshopped, I might add) one I'm rocking now?

http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/gallery/23422/e5ec0425f5c71e2a21fcd981878e4806.jpg is the full size. Just imagine it sneering at you when you think of straying from your diet.

You want to be careful with spinach, BTW. Uncooked it contains a harmful substance called oxalic acid, which inhibits the absorbtion of a lot of vitamins and minerals.

Bumped the thread.

This is the un-Photoshopped house that broccoli built: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/gallery/23422/f6491149ca7eebaa7ce2db5aab5b8f8a.jpg

I like your avatar. Nice twist on the traditional pentagram.
