Diet Ideas for a Picky Eater?
I am 24 years old and at my highest weight ever. I am 5′ 7" and currently weigh 192 pounds. I recently quit smoking and have taken up eating in its place. I have an exercise program in place, but can’t seem to find a diet to go along with it. I am extremely picky. I basically eat chicken, most fruits and vegetables, bread, dairy products, and pasta. I live in Southern Louisiana (where we are known for our amazing cajun food) but I don’t like any type of seafood, including fish, I don’t care for any type of bean or peas, not big on red meat, and can’t eat pork because it gives me migraines. Help!! Any ideas are appreciated. I would like to get back down between 145-160. I know it will take a while, but I am willing to give it a try!
Here is a suggestion: (If you liked it or if it worked for you, you can replace the items with your own preferences)
1-Breakfast – Do not skip this one, EVER
– 150 ml of %3.5 ORGANIC milk or 250 ml of %1 ORGANIC milk
[You can save some of it for your morning coffee with 2 cubes of sugar]
Total calories: 150 to 200
2- Lunch (350 cal, max)
- Chicken noodle soup + Small bun
3- afternoon break
-1 Cup of coffee with soy milk and 1-2 sugar (Max, 100 calories)
4 – Dinner (800 Calories)
- Rice or Potato: 100 – 120 gr + 150gr Chicken breast: Grilled and seasoned with lemon and herbs + Baked or grilled tomatoes (Salted)
5- Before sleep
-Tea with 2 whole grain cookies (70 Calories)

I don’t think this was remotely racist – do you?
I am lucky enough to live in a very culturally diverse city, that has a very large Vietnamese and Korean population. In fact, we have an entire ‘Asian District’ that is mostly Vietnamese-run businesses, of which many (most) are restaurants.
I work as a sideline doing restaurant reviews for a local news-zine.
A new restaurant opened up in the Asian district, and I set out to review it. It was touted as a Cajun restaurant.
Well, I go there, and it is not remotely Cajun whatsoever. The ‘special’ was wok-fried shrimp fried rice, and the other dishes were similar – Asian style seafood dishes. I did a little homework, and discovered that the restaurant is owned by a family of Vietnamese people who own several other restaurants in the district. They are cooking ‘cajun’ food in a wok…
Anyhoo, in my review, I stated that this was NOT the place to go for good Cajun food, and indicated that it was in no way, shape, or form, Cajun. I said it was mediocre Vietnamese food (which it was).
I then got a nasty letter from someone who read my review that said I was just racist and didn’t like Asians. WTF?
Do you think I was out of line? I mean – this place was NOT fusion-style at all – just straight off bad quasi cajun food that bore no resemblance to what was advertised…
Just fyi – I have nothing against people from the Far East, or the cuisine they prepare. I am a notorious Pho eater, and Thai food junkie…I don’t think I was being unreasonable to expect what was advertised, and be disappointed when I didn’t get it.
Not racist at all. You gave your opinion and someone didn’t like it, and they had to find a way to attack you. I wouldn’t give it another thought.

Louisiana Culinary Trails – Seafood Sensations
Bordered by Texas to the west and Cajun Country to the east, southwestern Louisiana has developed its own brand of cooking. Rustic, spicy, and stick-to-your-ribs might best describe the food of this marshland. Dominating menus are fried and boiled seafood, pork stew, catfish courtbouillon, rice dressing, shrimp and okra gumbo, jambalaya, wild game, and lots and lots of rice. This trail zigzags across the southwestern corner of the state, sometimes known as the Louisiana Outback, stopping at a variety of crawfish houses, oyster bars, cafes, and grocery stores.
