I was watching Breakfast TV this morning before leaving for work and they were talking about including tofu as part of your diet to lose weight. I have never cooked with tofu, but I would give it a try - anyone know any good recipes with tofu?

Also, although Transmogrifier is a little hard to decipher, I do understand what he says about eating everything, but reducing portion sizes. (I hope that is what he was saying - if not, I apologise for assuming) That is what I am going to try as of now...it's something I heard about what they do on the Weight Watchers diet plan...eat everything, but reduce your portion size to about half of what you would normally eat and eat 5 meals a day instead of the "normal" 3 meals.

I also asked a friend of mine who is a nutritionist and she says to avoid white bread/flours/pasta as much as possible and have the whole wheat breads/pasta etc instead. This way you're not depriving yourself of carbs, but are at least choosing a healthier option of them.

Thanks Charlie,

That sounds delish! I'll try it out - going grocery shopping tonight so will pick some tofu up.

On another note...I have recently changed from 2% milk to 1% and have to tell everyone out there that it tastes exactly the same. Small steps...but every little helps!
