We are doing the same, we both want to get in shape! We just have things like fish or chicken or omlette with salad or veg, and use herbs to give it a bit more taste, and fat free dressings on the salad. I'm trying to cut out carbs but sometimes have wholegrain rice or pasta with it. It's working for us

Have you tried Quinoa? My hubby and I eat it instead of rice, and it has tons of nutrients, decent flavor (especially with different herbs and spices, yum!) and can be eaten with anything that you would eat with rice, or by itself.

No I havnt and iv never heard of it before.is it just in the rice isle of the grocery store?

It seems to depend on the grocery store. lol When I shop at health food stores, they have some in the pasta isle (like, quinoa pasta), and the rest is randomly moved through the store. At the grocery store on the military base, it's kept with "ethnic" foods. The local grocery store has an isle dedicated to organic food. That was helpful, wasn't it? You can also buy it on amazon. Not sure about shipping, though.
