Grapes are summer mainstay of the vaunted Mediterranean diet.

Skinny rules?

Everyone is different.

Here's what has worked for me. I am eating Lean Cuisine meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner (3 total in a day). And I am eating tons of fresh salad made of veggies and fruits- cucumber, onions, tomatoes, cilantro, ginger, sprouts, spinach, avocado, papaya, guava, apples, melons, berries, grapes etc. Use lime/lemon juice as dressing and some sea salt. It is delicious and you will lose weight!

I feel like I need to thank all my defenders--I posted the blueberry tip. Even though I am "stupid," I will say I have lost six pounds in two weeks with a diet that includes at least two cups a day of blueberries. I just love berries in the summer. Berries with yogurt, plain berries, berries in salads, berries with whipped cream. I digress....Anyway, I think the key to weight loss though is planning--know what you will be eating for the day and prep things in advance. If you have a huge salad with grilled chicken ready to go, much easier to avoid grabbing that bag of Doritos. I also recommend regular exercise--whatever type doesn't make you ravenous. For me, for example, running on a hot day makes me lose my appetite, but I am starving after I swim. I think it is different for everyone. This thread has put me in the mood for grapes. Just to shock those low sugar posters, maybe I will even freeze a (stage whisper) banana.

Isn't this a lot of sodium? The fresh foods you are eating do sound delicious. I worry about the amount of sodium in cottage cheese!

Get your kid on a summer swim team, then stand around every Saturday for 4-5 hours in the heat. It will make you feel nauseous and knock you out energy-wise for the rest of the weekend. Food will be the last thing on your mind!

No wheat, no grains, no white potato, no corn, small amounts of fruit, full fat everything, no hfcs. And bar method.

PLEASE. You're driving me crazy if you're the poster who keeps spelling this incorrectly. It's barre. Not BAR. B-A-R-R-E.

Not the PP, but she's spelling it the way the studio spells it. "Bar method" is correct if you are referring to that specific studio.

Guess I have egg on my face.
Why does the business spell it incorrectly?

I'm the pp who keeps calling it bar... That's how the studio calls it I'm not referring to Barre as a whole but to bar method studio I go to. I think they call it after Burr Leonard the founder.

I am "skinny" and here are my three tips:

Brush, floss, mouthwash your teeth right after dinner (I do it when I give my youngest a bath) so that youre not tempted to grab a snack at 9,10,11 pm.

Walk as much as possible--get off the metro a stop early and walk to the office, walk during lunch, walk your kid to that playdate, to the playgound, etc. Just about everyone I know tries to find the 1.5 hour in their day to drive to the gym, workout and shower there. I spend that time walking.

Drink lots and lots of water all day long.

Too much sugar

Get sugar free popsicles instead

You're joking, I hope. Surely you don't think a sugar free popsicle is healthier than grapes!

It doesn't take a genius to figure out sugar is a carb and will be stored and you will gain weight. Eating a zero calorie mostly water treat will be much better for losing weight.

Seriously. You sound like an idiot brainwashed by the Splenda food industry.
