Healthy eating discussion?

[Serenity9]

I just decided to start a healthy eating kick... I looked around here to see if there was healthy eating discussion, and didn't see much. There's the Whole 30 board - I honestly hadn't ever read up on Whole 30 - I just did, and it's not for me. I thought I remembered seeing a series of check-ins here for healthy eating... was I wrong? Is that still going on? The health & fitness board seems to be more exercise related than food. 

If there is healthy-eating discussion going on somewhere, could you point me that way? If not, is anyone interested in starting a check in series or maybe a new board/sub-board? Or maybe H&F is open to a group of us starting more food discussions there?

I'd like to exchange healthy recipes, healthy snacking ideas, and maybe check-ins to keep accountable.

I was just diagnosed with gestational diabetes and would love to participate in a discussion on healthy eating.

I'd be interested. I've been lazy lately and eaten too much convenient food. I'd like to get more on track without investing in a total "lifestyle."

I'd be interested too whether it's here or a sub-board.

This is me, too. Since separation/divorce and living alone, I feel like it takes too much time and planning to prepare healthy meals for 1 person. I just need to re-dedicate to taking the time and not eating processed food.

I should, but I just bought BOGO Ben & Jerry's at the store last night so...

LOL! I did my first healthy eating grocery shopping last night, and it did include some chocolate ice cream. I'll just satisfy my sweet tooth with small portions. I hope.

How about we do a Monday healthy-eating post here on ML every week? We can use it as a check in, but also talk about meal plans for the week, share recipes, etc.

Thoughts?

Works for me.

Sure! Should I just finish off the doritos and chocolate chips now then? Yes. Ok, fine. I will.

I'd love to join! I'm very slowly coming to terms with the fact that I'm lactose intolerant (especially for cheese, sob) and I'd like to find some healthy alternatives to my favorite cheesy meals.

I'm getting bored of the meals I make, I could absolutely use some new ideas. I'm down 50 pounds as of this morning. I want to make sure I keep going to get to my goal (35ish more pounds), so new recipes would be great!

[kittyb]

I'm in! I need a little more motivation, for sure.

[cuccaro]

I would like to. I'm doing the Bikini Body Guide and trying to eat as healthy as possible, but it's hard to stay motivated and we get in ruts where we eat the same thing over and over.

[trafficgirl]

I would definitely be in for this! Love the idea of getting seeing more healthy recipes especially.

I am in but I need a trigger warning if people discuss yummy sugar / carb filled items in the post.

Oh yeah - me too.

[shamrockshake]

I'm in. we did a whole 30 in April/ May and did well but since then it's been a backward slide

I'm in, after we finish this delicious brownie pie a la mode I'm making for dessert tonight. Because pie.

I really need to lose some weight. I had great momentum over the winter, then we went on vacation and everything went downhill. Let's get it together.

Hey, brownie and ice cream people stop talking about it in health eating thread.

Unless there's some healthy "herb" in the brownies. Those are clearly a health food.

[riffraff]

I'm in.

[charley]

I'm in, too
I have lost 15 on WW in the past 8 weeks but still would love to lose 10 or so more. I do mostly Skinnytaste and Laaloosh
and wine.

Confession: I have never had "special" brownies. 
This makes me a sad panda.
