Weight Loss Recipes

Successful and sustained weight loss requires all three of the following:

1. Reduction in total calorie (fuel) intake: eating less, reducing size of portions, avoiding snacks.
2. Reducing calorie density (richness): not buying or eating foods over 30% calories from fat (the upper left corner of any nutritional fact label), such as "junk" foods, "fast" foods, sweets and so forth.
3. Increasing calorie expenditure (exercise): walking, bicycling, sports, swimming, treadmill, elliptical trainer...

The problem is that human physiology is fantastic for surviving starvation. This is great if the food runs out, but not so great if food is abundant.

I get a lot of questions about healthy food choices and specifically suggestions or recipes, so here are some useful links to healthy recipes that range from simple to complex, basic to elegant:
