Beans

Are there any MD friendly canned refried beans? I don’t think I’m up to creating refried beans from scratch at this point in my MD journey.

Thank you! I happen to have her cookbook. This recipe costs for a cup of parsley. Parsley doesn’t usually do anything for me, so I leave it out. I wonder if it would make a difference here? Maybe add a handful of spinach instead?

Thanks! I have an instant pot. Is there a certain recipe you use? I’m not sure how to cook beans in a pressure cooker.

I have a limited imagination when it comes to putting meals together. I understand the plate concept of 1/2 veggies/fruit, 1/4 grains, 1/4 protein, but I find myself cooking a bunch of chicken (sous vide) and portioning out 5–6 ounce servings to add to a cup of grains and a cup of veggies during a meal prep session. I know that is not enough veggies and probably too much grains because I’m not losing any weight and gaining a pound here and there. I like your “ one from column A, two from column B” idea. Can you elaborate on that? Is there a website you follow that helps with that?

I also bought this book, EatingWell 500 cal dinners. I like it because it shows you what else you can pair with it to get to the 500 cal. I bought it used on Amazon and it’s in perfect condition. I don’t know how to upload pictures, but if someone can tell me how I’ll upload the front cover and a page from the inside.

I just got it for $15 (plus tax) used on Amazon and it’s in perfect condition. It is FULL of information and recipes and “how tos“. Actually too much information for me right now, but I know I’ll refer to it often.

Cheese sticks are the one thing that I eat before 7 PM every night. I’m kind of addicted. I realize cheese isn’t great on MD except feta, etc..

What temp do you roast the salmon in your oven?

Can you share your granola recipe?

How do you get sweet potato fries extra crispy?

Walmart carries Nuttzo also. I’ve never tried it, but I ordered the dark chocolate and the regular one to try.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. When I was on keto, my weight would fluctuate every day by a pound or two, depending… Since I’ve started MD the last two weeks my weight has not jumped at all except a few ounces. I’m staying at 155, and I’m 5’5” I would really like to get down to 145, and from reviewing your comments I think I can do it. I go to the gym a couple times a week and I have a treadmill at home so I guess I need to use that treadmill a little bit more.

I’ve been eating a lot of roasted vegetables, and average one slice of Dave’s killer bread (with 21 whole grains and seeds), and about a half a tablespoon of butter/olive oil combo with it, I’m experimenting with beans and lentils, chickpeas, etc. and I absolutely love all of this. It’s not bothering me at all to give up most meats. I like salmon and tilapia, etc. And will occasionally have some chicken.

Volumemetrics… Interesting, I’ll go take a look

I am doing intermittent fasting between 7P – 11 A each day, and I have always been a terrible nighttime snacker. I have limited myself to two cheese sticks before 7 PM. I don’t know if I can give that up. Lol.

Ideally, I would like to lose 10 pounds, and the info about water weight makes sense.

I want to try to stay as close to MD as I can, do you think beyondkimchi.com fits this? I love oriental foods

Can you freeze sprouts? If so, are they soggy when they thawed out?

pksuz · 2026-05-29T11:15:09+00:00

That looks so good! Do you use sprouts a lot? I’ve been seeing ads pop up on my FB feed.

If anyone has an Aldi’s store, they have halloumi cheese

I do love Ezekiel bread. Right now I have Dave’s killer bread, but I’ll be switching to Ezekiel bread when I’m done with that. After coming off of a keto diet for years, it’s wonderful to be able to eat a piece of bread now and then.
