These are my current favorite recipes I’ve been eating on repeat. These are all delicious recipes you can eat and lose weight! Having lost 60 pounds I think one of the best lessons I have learned is eating what you love and enjoy , altering ingredients some like adding in more veggies or higher protein, and not restricting yourself from certain foods that the diet culture says to totally take away. Doing this really helps keep you accountable and makes weight loss sustainable. If your eating foods you enjoy and tracking your food intake / calories so you can stay in a calorie deficit than your more likely to succeed rather than eating foods you don’t enjoy and then quitting completely or over eating.
