[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the recipe ideas so far.  Keep 'em coming.   My DH is going to transition back to valuable carbs like fruits, quinoa, more veggies.  If he wants to maintain and be healthy, the white stuff (sugar, white flour) has to go. Some people are just more sensitive to carbs and it fuels their appetite.  My DH is always going to love birthday cake and the occasional dessert out, but those are hopefully going to be once in a while treats and not daily occurrences.  [/quote]

Well, personally, I find that if I have no whole grains in a meal, I end up eating too much.  The best thing for me to eat to fill me up and keep me from over-eating is high fiber foods.

If I don't have any fiber -- either via whole grain breads or through things like beans and brown rice -- I end up eating a LOT of dense protein foods, and that ends up putting weight on me.

But sure, maybe that's an individual thing.  I also don't buy the "protein fills you up" stuff that people say.  The thing that fills me up is fiber.  It also satisfied me.  And it keeps me regular.

I don't deal well with raw veggies (they trigger IBS-C).  So the best fiber for me is either whole grains or cooked beans.
