Weight Loss/Maintenance (Group) :

My problem is I like to eat, and I eat too much.
I found this very good tasting, and surprisingly filling.

I'd appreciate your thoughts, pro and con.
Thanks

2. I like to eat too, but am down about 150 lbs in 30 months. I'm currently working on

doing my own oriental style meals. I made some great fried brown rice the other day. I'll be doing some stir fry stuff like that real soon.

I started out eating meals like that, maybe that same one. I gradually converted to all home cooked stuff. Being a single guy requires some planning. It'll be kind of like an oriental week thing when I get it going. I can't stand throwing out produce, so I'll use the type of veggies I need in various oriental dishes all week, then the next week go back to the usual stuff. Moo goo gai pan is on my list of dishes to learn.

5. Oriental? Not very PC

Try Asian...

8. I actually hadn't heard that was considered an offensive term. n/t

12. Apparently asians didn't know 'Orientals' is offensive

Oriental is a location. Asian is a people.

"Apparently Asians are supposed to feel demeaned if someone refers to us as Orientals. But good luck finding a single Asian American who has ever had the word spat at them in anger. Most Asian Americans have had racist epithets hurled at them at one time or another. But Oriental isn’t in the canon.

And why should it be? Literally, it means of the Orient or of the East, as opposed to of the Occident or of the West. Last I checked, geographic origin is not a slur. If it were, it would be wrong to label people from Mississippi as Southerners."

13. It's very dated and I believe is is offensive - living in San Francisco I can't imagine using that

among Asian coworkers, I would be mocked at the very least and called out at the worst. I'm black and it would be like calling me "colored" or "negro".

7. It looks pretty good.

The only problem with packaged foods is that they tend to have a lot of sodium, and this one also adds sugar, which you don't need. Since I placed myself on voluntary house arrest last March I've had pretty good success losing weight on an Atkins/keto-type diet, cutting out carbs as much as possible (no bread, pastries, potatoes, pasta, etc.), and I order groceries online for delivery so I'm not tempted by seeing or smelling things I shouldn't eat. I make my own meals mostly from scratch and only rarely get ready-made meals, and I've been getting pretty much the same food in every order. The weird side-effect of this monotony is that my meals are kind of boring so I don't eat as much as I would otherwise. But it's working; I've lost 48 lbs. in less than a year and am no longer officially overweight per standard weight and BMI charts. Try to make your meals more boring.

9. It would not be all that hard to create that

stir fry from scratch. Buy some boneless chicken. Buy your favorite veggies. A bit of seasoning, whatever you like, and stir fry. It takes hardly any time and costs a fraction of paying someone else to do it somewhere.

14. I too use boxed meals

sometimes and that one looks like it's got good points. If you like it and didn't have to eat 2 to feel satisfied, I'd say, win win.
