Just a note to let who ever is interested know that I've been trying
a new diet of Chinese food. I buy LaChoy food in the cans. (2 cans
stacked on top of each other) It has veggies and meat, and one serving
is only 70 calories. Inbetween meals I snack on rice cakes. If you
break down and cheat you will still lose weight (unless you get
piggish) because you are only having 140 calories (plus how ever many
rice cakes) per day. It works. Trust me. Then on the weekend have
something different without going overboard.
I started last Friday, this is Tuesday, and I have lost 3 pounds. (and
thats with me going off it on saturday) Anyway, I'm exited.

Donna,
Just out of curiosity, what is the sodium content in this Chinese
food?
Thanks!

I think it's great you are losing weight, but it doesn't sound like
a very healthy way to do it. I'd almost bet you aren't getting
all the nutrients you need for a balanced diet. If that's all
you're eating each day, you aren't getting any fruits or dairy
products in your diet which are needed on a healthy weight loss
program. That's just my opinion....but think about it.
Good Luck

I make Chinese food in the wok at home, and it has been a key part of
my weightloss program. But I start with fresh veggies, and throw in
the occasional can of water chestnuts or sprouts or bamboo shoots.
Making Chinese food for diet purposes has a lot to do with controlling
fats (the wok helps), starches (go easy on corn starch), and sugar (I
don't use any).
I would think carefully about all the additives in canned Chinese food,
ouch.

You are right. I looked at the can and it contains 850mg of soduim.
(surprised I'm alive!) Anyway, I think cooking fresh veggies in a wok
is a great idea. Thanks
