Where can I find good diet meals that are delivered to your home, like the stars get? »

I am on a diet and it is hard to cook for the family. I have to make two different meals. I need ideas where

diet meals
Sassy Shut Your Mouth asked:


I don’t have to cook two different meals for myself and the kids. I would appreciate ideas including low carb green and white veggies. I can eat white meat, lean red meats (but I don’t eat red meats often), and seafood.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

    1] cook the same meat/fish/chicken for everyone.
    2] make the same salad for everyone – let each add his own dressing- use only fresh veggies [ no olives, croutons, etc. ]
    3] cook one ’starch’ – potatoes, rice, noodles, lima beans, cooked carrots, corn, or peas
    4] and cook one low carb veggie – beans, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, squash
    5] fill your plate with
    1 serving of meat [ about 1/4 of lunch plate ]
    1 serving of starch [ 1/4 plate ]
    2 servings low carb and or salad or fruit [ 1/2 plate ]

    I agree with Tessa. One meal for everyone. If they don’t like it either they can cook for themselves or go hungry (bow, bow, bow).

    why not just cut your own portions down to 3/4 what you usually eat … that also works ..
