[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 415937, member: 11001"] Was very interested in this post. My difficult child has severe weight issues that have gotten worse since not at home. She takes thyroid medications as hers was almost nonfunctioning. Took her last week for tests to look for Polycyctic ovarian disease. husband is diabetic though he lost 80 lbs and does not need medications anymore. Our family has long been on a low glycemic index "diet". Psch. medications have caused weight gain in our difficult child as well. [B]Would love to get more ideas from others[/B] here are a few things that work for us: 1. I cut fresh veggies and fruit every Sunday and put them in small containers-easy to grab for lunch or snack ( I only keep low fat sald dressing around) I do buy quite a bit of these-peppers, muchrooms,carrots, cucs,apples orages(slice these as well),pineapple or berries in season etc. 2. Low fat yogurt cups-can be used as a fruit dip, or snack. My kids like adding a few teaspoons of Grape-Nuts to them. We enjoy them frozen in the summer (protien here as well) 3. If your not opposed to sweetners- I will occationally make a banana bread with sweetner, flax seed (milled) and half the flour changed to oat flour I make myself in the blender-I usually use almonds or a small amount of walnuts 4.I make grilled or baked chicken breast/ or pork loan-cut them up and portion them out each week. My family likes dipping in mustard then seasame seeds on occation. I can also use these strips to make a meal during the week.Easy to grab and go as well. 5.I hard boil eggs-these can be really satisfying when you are hungry. ( I know the cholestral stuff-but better than other choices) An open faced egg salad sandwhich on wheat is satisfying once in awhile 6. Pretzels-I keep some crushed as well to add to the top of fat free pudding which I make myself every Sunday as well. 7. I make a big bowl of salad greens each week-people can add cut up veggies or meat etc. Planning ahead and shopping the sales helps us. I never have cookies or other "****" around because of the health issues. [/QUOTE]
