Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  Uno, Dos, Tres Learn the 3 yes's and no's of Mexican cuisine. Refried beans pretty much sums it up. In a restaurant where food comes fried more than once, your diet is in serious trouble. Luckily, Biggest Loser trainer Bob Harper has put together this snappy "NO!" and "YES!" guide to Mexican food that will help you order wisely and easily. The 3 Mexican NO's: 1. First tell the waiter not to bring those chips to your table! ("I love them and could eat every basket they bring to me....Stay away."). In place of chips, order corn tortillas and dip them into your salsa. They are the same thing as the chips, except not fried, and they'll satisfy that craving for dipping. 2. Instead of refried beans ask for black beans. 3. Remember: no sour cream, no guacamole, no flour tortillas, no crispy taco shells. The 3 Mexican YES's: 1. Fajitas are a great choice! The meat will be grilled and your veggies are included. 2. Burritos without the flour tortilla. But with black beans, tomatoes, lettuce, and salsa. 3. Tacos. "Many times I will order three or four tacos, beef or chicken and combine the insides of all of them on a big salad (discarding the shell). And bam! There you go, a big taco salad without anything crunchy except the lettuce." So print out this list and take it with you. You'll end up happy enough to do a hat dance. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Reference (The Biggest loser) mailing list

| Guru In Training |  Great advice......yesterday my sister and I ate at QDoba Mexican Grill I had a tortilla soup, and ate a few bites and took the rest home for supper. Just as good. I wonderd how the spiceyness of it would be on my little tummy, but it was fine. peggy/Pe

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass    | thanks for shareing I love mexican food and have it weekly. I ususally make a cheese crisp in the oven on non stick foil.... and then wrap the meat and lo fat sourcream on that with very little amount of lettuce and tomatoe being it usually upsets my pouch. LOVE it and thanks for the yes and no's! the chips for sure can be a dieters hazard. I use the WHOLE WHEAT tostidos when i am in need of a few with my pintos and cheese.

Height: | Okay so I found a good recipe for low fat guacomole seeing as how I love the stuff I am anxious to try it out. It substitutes half of the avacado for peas so it lowers the fat in it and still helps on the protein factor since peas are a legume. I will try to find it if anyone is interested. I loved mexican food pre op, but here it isn't as much of a temptation since the restaraunts I loved to eat at aren't here. I will probably splurge and visit one of them when I go home next summer though. Good tips though. Janae |

Height: | ps...I forgot the nutritional information for those of you that might want it for this recipe: 1/4 cup guacamole equals 63 calories, 2 g fat, 2 mg cholesterol, 108 mg sodium, 8 g carbohydrate, 2 g fiber, 3 g protein. Diabetic exchanges: 1/2 starch, 1/2 fat Hope that someone tries this and likes it. I think it sounds and looks yummy. I am a big fan of guacamole. Janae |
