Fruit and Veggies?

I need to lose weight and I was going to eat only Fruit, Veggies and nuts. along with daily exercise and drinking water because, I cannot eat anything too hard because of my teeth. I no longer eat meat. I was going to eat,





Bananas


Apple Sauce


Oranges in a Can





Cooked Carrots


Green Beans





Can anyone else recommend more Fruits and Veggies that I can eat? I know that this is not enough but it's the only thing I can. I can only eat Soft Foods I can eat hard things but not to hard.


Does anyone know a Good Vegetable Soup I can make in the slow cooker?


Will I lose weight?


The fruits that are in a can, are they good for you? The fresh fruit may be to hard for me.

Fruit and Veggies?
yes you would be healthy if you take care of yourself.the good foods you eat the better you could loose weight just one thing stop eating sugar.....that kills the food you eat please listen to me i always drank soda now i am better looking
Reply:This is a TERRIBLE, unbalanced diet. Please do some research to find a good, healthy diet that will allow you to lose weight. There are so many things wrong with what you're doing it's sad. You need protein in your diet and much more variety in fruits and vegetables.
Reply:Broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, strawberries, pineapple, apples, salads, many choices.
Reply:canned fooda are equally good as fresh. u can buy canned vegtables like carrot , beets, peas e.t.c. whatever u like. put them in apot. add some water. shred some fresh ginger and bay leaves. add some cilantro and salt. u r done.
Reply:be careful, believe it or not you can overdose on water it dilutes the salt in your body if you are going to drink a lot of water then you need to eat salty foods. Also if you drink too much water you can gain water weight. If you are going to be exercising I suggest if you go to a gym get a personal trainer, he or she can give you an excerise plan and also a meal plan (one that doesnt eliminate everything but fruits and water). Good luck!!!
Reply:if you cant eat meat then please take cratine and whey protein powder with milk.
Reply:I'd add some tofu which you can marinate in salt water for easily added flavor.





Brussel sprouts are really nice.





My mom used to make a veggie soup in the slow cooker: canned green beans, corn, diced tomatoes, black beans and a package of taco spice.
Reply:Please research anything that is recommended before you add it to your diet. Creatine is typically for those who want to pump up their muscles artificially. The USDA provides a fabulous website for diet and nutrition.
Reply:Try not to eat fruit out of a can as they will have lots of sugar and other preservatives on them that may stop you losing those extra pounds. Try eating tangerines, apples, strawberries, rasberries and grapes! You can also eat mango, plums, melon and many other fruits. Many fruits are soft and juicy, it's only apples and pears that may be a bit hard to chew! Hope this helps! Good luck!:)
Reply:More veggies than fruit, some protein (low fat) low carbs


eat portions the size of your fist.
Reply:Can you add complex carbs to your meal plan ? They aid in speeding your metabolism up (they are really important)





Some other suggestions would be : pumkin (boil it with splenda),


any kind of squash (zucchini). avocado, you can try beans they add a lot of protein to your diet to make them soft, just boil them for an extra hour on low heat (they can become softer than carrots).








This is just a basic soup mix with fresh veggies added to it. It makes it healthier and more appealing to the eye.





Ingredients


1 package cream of broccoli soup mix


3 cups of water


1 cup of 1% milk


1 small onion or 1/4 cup finely chopped


3/4 cup chopped broccoli


1/2 cup chopped cauliflower


1 large carrot or 3/4 cup chopped





Directions





Mix soup mix, water, and milk in a medium sauce pan.


While soup mix is heating at medium to high heat, stir often, and chop your veggies.


Add veggies to the mix.


When the soup starts to boil, turn heat down to a simmer, cover, and stir occasionally for 5 minutes.


Each serving is 1 cup each.





Number of Servings: 5





AS for fruit, you can make fruit smoothies and add the nuts to them so it can be easier on your teeth. You can also make fruit sauces let's say blue berries: you just cook them till they're soft and add sugar (or sugar substitude).





Canned fruits are good for you and yes, soft but try not to get all your fruits from there and try to find them with low sodiuma nd low syrup. You can also boil almost all your fruit (like peaches), or boil a combination of fruit and make it into fruit punch.





Hope this helps.
Reply:Bananas contain about 100 calories each. Applesauce is full of sugar so are the oranges in a can.


Try steaming your veggies. Green leafy vegis are a must.
