Thread: Can we talk DD?

Right, so here we go. We all know DD are not the most pleasant days as we should not eat more than 500 cal. The main issue we probably all face every other day is that we run out of ideas what to eat on DD. The variety of low cal foods are quite okay these days, but it's still a bit hard to find food which don't give you 400 cal in a lump and then starvation for the rest of the day.
As far as I am concerned I try to eat every 2 hours on a DD, and obviously those snacks may not contain a huge amount of calories.

So what I would like to suggest is a list of foods you eat on an average DD. Weight/portion, calories per 100g, calories per portion, the whole lot. This way we might inspire each other and become a little more creative for our DD food. Let's face it, eating rice crackers for the rest of our diet life does not sound appealing

So watch out, the next post contains my food list of things I have eaten so far on DD.

Hartley's Low Calorie Jelly, 175g tub, 9 cal.
Cherry Tomatos, 100g, 18 cal.
Peppers, 100g, 26 cal.
WW Thuna Thousand Island, single can, 67 cal
WW Thuna Coronation Style, single can, 76 cal
Potatoes, boiled, 100 g, 66cal
Radish, 100g, 11 cal
Cucumber, unpeeled, 100g, 12cal
Cauliflower, steamed, 100g, 19cal
Chickenstock, 100ml, 5cal
Milk, semi-fat, 10 ml, 5 cal
Cola, Diet, 500ml, 2.5 cal
WW Yoghurt, Lemon Cheesecake, 120g tub, 58 cal
Mikado, dark chocolate, 1 piece, 10 cal
WW Tomato Soup, 1 can, 71 cal
WW Carrot-Lentil Soup, 1 can, 86cal
WW Chickennoodle Soup, 1 can, 50cal
Tesco, Light, Moussakka, 1 pack, 230cal
Slim-a-Soup, Spicy Cajun, 1 sachet, 53cal
Slim-a-Soup, ChickenNoodle, 1 sachet, 53cal


All foods here have been eaten by me and I think they are good and work well for a DD.

I'll keep it updated!
PLEASE, list your DD foods here, so we can create a big list and get inspiration for our own DD. Variety is the key to the success for this way of eating.

Thanks ever so much for all contributions!

I quoted you and contributed my own food. I think it is better to keep the list as one list, don't you think? It might be easier to check what's already been mentioned.

I arranged it by alphabet and I moved all the WW stuff into one group, hope that's okay?

Please quote this list and add to it. Thank you!

And thanks Feuervogel for the idea!

what on earth is thuna?

Sorry, I meant tuna (the fish) ! I edited it.

Tuna without H. Fish.

Any more contributions? Please?

So noboday wants to share and make the DD easier? That's a shame.

I like:
Bananas=100
Yogurt=100
cheese=80
tuna=100
Veggies=100

that is my menu for a DD! sometimes i'll a plum with is around 30 calories. I would use some of those prepackaged snacks but since the calories on dds are so low I like to eat mostly "good" stuff. I don't want to waste 100 calories on cookies that have no value.

I like your list, I just planned my meals for 8 days (4 up and 4 down) I might try some of yours on my next go around.

thanks
karen

Hi guys, I'm not doing this diet but I thought I'd nip in and contribute some of the calorie counted snacks we have on the Rosemary Conley pack.

Great ideas here, but also see the sticky thread '100 cal snacks' for more great low cal foods that are perfect for dd's. There is so much you can have on a dd once you look around, and yes variety is the key! Nobody wants to eat the same old thing every dd!

Don't know if they have been mentioned already but walls soleros are around the 100 cals mark (just under I think) and they are delicious, really creamy ice cream covered in crushed fruit and the best thing is they take a while to eat
