I heard of a simple tip to loose weight

I have learned a simple way to loose weight. But it involves eating fungus. Okay that is a gross word to think of when eating. Lol. So, I will say the word that is easier on the ears when eating : mushrooms.  A simple way to loose weight is substitute mushrooms for beef.

To me this would be easy. As I love mushrooms. But I do have some family members who do not like mushrooms.

Today for lunch I had an easy dish. I placed some sliced lettuce on a plate, added some cottage, some sliced mushrooms, than topped off with a little shredded cheese. It tasted so good and filled my belly.

Do you like mushrooms? If so, what do you like to cook mushrooms? Do you have a favorite dish?

I like to brown mushrooms and onion with some kind of meat. That tastes great also. Best of luck on your weight lode.

i really need to lose some weight but i just can't stand shrooms

Ha!Ha! the idea for the weight loss was eating the mushrooms INSTEAD of meat. There are absolutely no calories in mushrooms. But if you'll scan up the comments you'll notice everybody is including the mushrooms WITH the steak! It is just so hard to eat one without the other it seems. Just mushrooms simmered with onions is a delicious dish.
Yep, its that hilarious?
Barbara H. Nov 13, 2009, 10:35pm UTC
Not hilarious but the steak adds the calories if eaten with the mushrooms. There are lots of salads and other dishes that can be filled with mushrooms as the basis of the dish and that fills one up.
I guess if we could all stick to correct portion sizes we'd all be better off. Its hard.

I make a brown rice and mushroom dish, sort of like a risotto.
I like mushrooms with onions and peppers to use in a fajita instead of meat.
I do not eat meat.
I am not a big meat eater. So mushrooms is an easy food for me to eat more of.

I like mushrooms, but I'm not sure I could eat it like that.

No way, I can't do mushrooms. I hate the texture and cannot stand them no matter how you cook them, I can't even gag them down if they are in a stir fry.
I have a son and husband who can't stand them either.

I love mushrooms. Luckily my guys like them, too. My husband always says they are my favorite food.

I love mushrooms. Hubby doesn't. But I eat them in salads. I love them stuffed, etc.
Denise C. Nov 13, 2009, 12:36pm UTC
Don't eat beef. Love mushrooms though so they won't have to substitute for beef.

Hmm, a fungus among us to lose weight...I like mushrooms but nobody else in the house does. Maybe I'll just get them for myself and see how it works.
Kim K. Nov 13, 2009, 4:20pm UTC
We love mushrooms, too!! On a salad or in a dish. My son loves mushroom pizza! I didn't know about the losing weight, so we'll have to eat more. THANKS.

I love mushrooms.
One of my favorite dishes to leave in the refrig...and heat up as i need it is
cook up some mushrooms, onions, garlic, bell pepper....add some green beans
a can of chopped black olives, a can of stewed tomatoes (I like the ones with chilies added) Leave out or add anything you want---but think of calories when you do

This gives me something to snack/eat for a couple of days--Its pretty low in carbohydrates and very low in calories

Sorry for the drive by, 150+ emails to respond to. Happy Holidays!!! 10 for you!

I like mushrooms either cooked or raw. I do like them fried with veggies more than raw. My family do take them off pizza and give them to me. They don't like them.
