weight loss options

Are TV dinners such as lean cuisine and stouffers healthy dinner options for weight loss?
I’ve heard they are good for losing weight (as long as you exercise) and good sources of protein. Are they good for weight loss and if not what are other options?
The two that you mentioned aren’t necessarily unhealthy for you, but read the labels carefully to see if they contain a lot of salt or partially hydrogenated oils (if the latter, don’t buy them if possible).
I would not call them “good for weight loss” but I wouldn’t say they are unhealthy, either.
In addition to exercise, the best way to lose weight is to prepare most of your own foods, so that you control the ingredients and because processed foods often contain lots of stuff that you don’t want to eat a much of (this is because of BAD doctors’ and government studies in the early 1960s that made cholesterol out to be the main cause of heart disease–and that’s a lie, it isn’t.).
So, prepare and eat:
*High protein
*Lots of fresh fruits and veggies
*Plenty of fiber (whole grain breads, cereals if you eat cereal for breakfast). My favorite bread is Roman Meal.
You can be grill master for the protein, fresh fruit can simply be purchased and put in a bowl, and veggies don’t require a lot of preparation (just steam them or cook them in water in the microwave for just a few minutes). So this is all quite easy to make.
Drinking green tea is also helpful. Sweeten it with honey, not sugar (brown sugar is okay, though).
I also recommend three supplements: ginseng; and those that you can find at the links below.
