Delicious Food for Weight Loss

POSTED BY: Dana Lilienthal | August 12, 2008 | 9:26 AM

Elaine recently posed a few blogs titled "Diet" food doesn't have to being boring. How right she is! There is a diet mentality that when you want to lose weight that you have to eat bland and boring foods - that is not the case at all...

Here are some fantastic, (and some of my favorite) delicious, and flavorful weight-loss friendly recipes:

Black Bean and Tomato Quinoa
Roasted Root Vegetables
Mustard Crusted Tofu with Kale and Sweet Potato
Black Bean Chili with Butternut Squash
Seared Arctic Char with Broccolini, Olives and Garlic
Buffalo Burgers with Pickled Onions and Smoky Red Pepper Sauce

Check back at all of the recipes I have posted and see how they can fit into your weight loss plan. Remember that you can make modifications to any recipe to make it work for you.
Don't forget to save all of your recipes to your Nutrition Data Pantry so you have you healthy and delicious recipes close by.

This comment is not about this particular blog, but I was unsure of where to go to ask the question. I used the BMI calculator for my 9 year old grandson, who is 4' 10" and weighs about 125 (he is trying to lose weight for football right now, most of the time he is weighed with uniform and pads and weighs 127 currently). The calculator said he has a BMI of 26.2 but it did not say what a healthy BMI and weight range was for him. The breakdown for his daily calories was 3894. on the days he plays football and 2767 on the days he does not play. I would like to know what the minimum calories he can safely eat to lose weight would be. His pediatrician agrees tha he needs to diet and says that a healthy weight for him would be 110 pounds. Do you agree with this? Could you please give me a calorie range that would allow him to lose weight at a healthy rate and any keys into what food SHOULD be included daily or if it is O.K. just to vary the foods as the recommended ranges indicate between Carbohydrate, Fat and Protein.

Thanks for your help. You could post the answer in a blog and/or a private e-mail, either is fine.
