@imallears seems like you've got a system worked out for yourself. It's really smart to keep temptations out of the house if you're looking to decrease your intake of something. For me, there are MANY temptations, but the main ones I've intentionally stopped buying are chips.
Something I heard the other day, which I agreed with, is that many trendy diets have been proven to work for weight loss, but the real key to changing your diet (in whatever way, not necessarily just for weight loss) is creating a diet that you know you'll stick to. For me, that means making sure everything I cook is flavorful.
@jakedduck1 lol I think you're referring to a chia pet!

@ayeshasharma This is what I have tried to do. A real bagel is a distant memory! I do buy whole wheat mini bagels, they’re not bad and don’t have excessive calories or carbs. When we have meatballs and sauce I don’t have pasta, I serve mine on top of squash.
Even for people not looking to lose weight MyFitnessPal can be a huge help because it tracks nutrients. You can tell it which nutrients you want tracked too.
My almost daily salad is a salad with greens, chicken, strawberries and goat cheese crumbles. I was lactose intolerant for a while but that seems to have gone away so I can once again have goat cheese. Not only do I love goat cheese, but it has about half the sodium of other cheeses like blue cheese.
Living with my husband is tough, he eats anything and everything, yet does not gain weight! Not fair! If we go out for lunch he often gets a Reuben. One of these days I plan to give in to that and have one too. The other day I had a “knife and fork” burger. It was pretty good, it had some avocado with it.
I know a lot of people do like cauliflower rice but it was unacceptable to my husband so it’s easier for me to just skip it than to make two different things.
My son-in-law went to a nutritionist at one point a few years ago and was also advised to not limit his diet so much. I have no idea if his current diet has improved that.
