It only lasted about a year, then they went back to the old school fish!

And they're on sale now, but I'm trying to drop 15-20 lbs, so I've not had one, YET.

Sick, dude.

I also don't like their egg mc's. I've totally gone off of most of Micky D's stuff. All the salt.. blaaahfjhg....

^^^I LOVE McD's, but only eat it about once a month. Although, if I'm away from home, it ends up being my lunch, almost every day. McD's, or Rallys/Checkers.

YES. It's the only thing I ever order.

I do have to add, though, that when I was on the South Beach Diet, it was definitely more expensive to buy all of the low-fat, low/no-carb stuff that you're required to eat, then it is to just buy regular food.

well, naturally those specific diets are going to be more expensive. you should go on the "carrie eats healthy for $20/week" diet.

i'm serious, it works.

i think that's the basis of it, yeah. so really, you could do it cheaply. but if you buy their special SBD frozen dinners & ****, then it gets expensive.

i've got cheap & healthy eating down to a fine art. it's all about nuts, legumes, chicken, tuna, and veggies. oh, and peanut butter. and apples.

speaking of apples, i broke my apple slicer in an apple yesterday. now i'm a little scared of the other 3 apples i bought at the same time.

No, not totally. They're a part of it though.

Plus, I don't eat fish -- or seafood of any kind for that matter -- so that's automatically scratched off the list of choices for me.

I guess I just can't imagine feeling satisfied eating those things. I only "kind of" like chicken -- once a week is plenty for me. If even that often. And, like I said, I don't eat seafood.
So I don't think I could possibly eat enough vegetables and nuts (and twigs and berries) to not be left hungry.

I'd starve.

Can't you eat lean ground beef, or another lean red meat?

Like, if your dinner was a nice venison steak, a great action packed salad? Or a hamburger made with the leanest, grass fed ground beef, lettuce and tomato and everything on it...with a salad? (I like salad). I also make great, tasty, healthful burritos with fake meat or lean ground beef. Lots of people like ground turkey...

put some lettuce, tomato, salsa, onions on that...mmmm....soup is good, too, you like soup? Also if you add a tasty fruity dessert, it seems like you would be full.
I've known a lot of people like you, they don't realize the delicious possibilities because they kind of already have a mindset about it, and/or they haven't really tried it. I spot them because they tend to use the phrase "twigs and berries", which is a scoffish term for things that are good for you and can be very delicious. I actually don't know anyone who eats "twigs", and I like berries a lot.
I know you did South Beach, though.

Carrie, don't be trying to call that healthy on $20/a week the Carrie diet...
