Exactly carbs are bad but you if you want to be truely healthy not just weigh less then you should cut out processed food period. Sweet potatoes and white potatoes are much better for you than any type of pasta. Veggies are going to be even better for you the man the starches except corn.
It's a pretty simple concept, unprocessed meats, veggies, starches, fruits. Pretty simple.
Op as far as cooking, get a George forreman grill and start using your oven. Also one pot meals. It's a simple thing to google and replace processed ingredients with some that are not.

I would suggest making a big pot of vegetable soup (carrots, onion, celery, potatoes, green beans, etc..). It's healthy and inexpensive. When you want to change that up, make some white bean soup. Buy sliced mushrooms and cooking spinach and make egg white omelets. Super healthy and high in protein. You shouldn't need a ton of prep space for any of that.

carbs aren't the boogey man they've been made out to be, if you lead a fairly active life you don't have to run away from them

Eat food.
Mostly plants.
Not too much.

Eggs are a thrifty person's best food friend. They're easy to cook in endless ways and are inexpensive.
--boil a half dozen on Sunday evenings, and store in fridge. You've got a portable breakfast for M-Sat mornings, or easily turn them into deviled eggs (mustard, pickle relish, mayo, mixed w/the yolks) if a guest shows up.
--hard boiled eggs atop that spinach salad you're already making
Canned beans aren't as thrifty as cooking dried beans, but if you have limited time & a limited kitchen, they're a great option. Look for canned chickpeas (aka garbanzos), which make a nice bean salad, esp when mixed w/canned tuna. Tuna + drained canned garbanzos + your favorite bottled dressing is a protein-heavy, filling supper or lunch. Add diced veggies like carrot or celery for crunch.
Pasta--look for the Barilla Protein Plus brand of pasta, sold widely and at Walmart. It's made w/wheat and bean flours. Tastes just like "regular" pasta but has as much protein as chicken. Use it as a base & make simple toppings for it...butter & grated Parmesan, chili flakes & a little olive oil & tuna, sautéed zucchini & garlic. Add a couple of your favorite steamed or sautéed veggies on the side

Sugar as in added sugar to dishes, or things such as fruits that are high in fructose?
Posted on 1/18/17 at 6:54 pm to lionward2014
Both.

- Eggs for breakfast
- Salad for lunch (I do spring mix with canned salmon, olives, beets, capers if I have them, little bit of grated parm, croutons, and an olive oil based dressing)
- For dinner, I make a lot of "one pot" dinners from the inspiralized blog. Lot of soups from the same blog too.
- For snacks we buy a veggie tray and grapes. Every now and then pop chips and/or popcorn sneaks in.
- Only drink water, coffee, and wine.
Im bad about ordering out on weekends and keeping the booze to one glass per night or every other night...other than that I keep it pretty healthy IMO.

Not sure how long it's been since this chart was made, but today, grocery stores have bakery and pastries, cheese and dairy, hot bars (which contain fried chicken, buffalo wings, fatty processed meats and cheese, fatty salad dressings) all around the perimeter. To say stick to the outside and avoid stuff like low sugar, high fiber cereals and canned vegetables, like canned beans "most of the time" is either outdated or misinformed.. But.. to each his own.

Omelettes

You single?
If I was I'd probably order meals from Metabolic Meals for 70% of my needs.
When work gets busy I usually subscribe for a few weeks for breakfast and lunch.
Can get expensive for multiple people.

I agree, if you salt it and let it sit in a colander for 30 minutes or so it helps. I was going to do some parsnip pasta the other day but grocery store didn't have parsnip, go figure.

quote:Are we talking about eating pasta and even fruit at night? Because yes, that is definitely bad. Should try and eat things with very little to no sugars at all at night. The time you consume certain foods has everything to do with weight loss.
The time you consume food has zero effect on weight loss. Eating at night is not bad.

That's an outdated line of thought. New studies have shown that a calorie is a calorie. It doesn't matter when it is consumed. If your weight loss diet is 1200 calories per day, you're going to lose regardless of when or how you consume those 1200.

Your body doesn't know what time of day it is. How else do you think people on night schedules manage it?
I like to go to bed on a full stomach. Still lost weight doing it.

I can see the attraction to the concept that it doesn't matter when you eat the calories, because a calorie is a calorie, but I'd rather stick to the belief that carbohydrates that are not burned up through exercise are stored as fat. Additionally, and maybe it's a personal issue, but I don't rest well after eating a late meal. It's harder on your body to digest food, while you're supposed to be at rest.
Quoting the last sentence from the article you posted:

The bottom line: More research is needed on humans to determine whether calories eaten at night are more likely to cause weight gain than those eaten early in the day.

That's fine if it works for you. I don't do low carb and I don't do any exercise. Lost all my weight on calories in, calories out.
