I need suggestions for meals, snacks...Basically on foods that will help with weight loss.

for snacks eat lots of fruit and for breakfast i always eat a granny smith apple and penutbutter and it keeps me full for like 5 hours

cut out products containing wheat. . .(rice noodles instead of pasta, corn tortilla's instead of wheat etc.) You'll lose weight without even trying.

I was using this "diet" a few years back and it worked great. I say "diet" because everything anybody puts in their body is their diet. Read the Body-for-Life book...Bill Phillips supports you to get in the proper mindset to eat healthy and work out. Body-for-Life is basically this: a portion is the size of the palm of your hand / a meal is a portion each of carbs & protein along with veggies for lunch and dinner / eat 5 - 6 small meals a day / plan, set your goals, track your progress. Don't leave anything to chance IF YOU FAIL TO PLAN, YOU'RE PLANNING TO FAIL. Good sources of protein are fish, scallops, lean red meat, skinless chicken breast cut out butter, sugar, processed & fatty foods. Good luck...you can do it and you will believe it when you read the success stories on the website. I'm 5Ǝ" and I weigh at least 170 pounds...writing to you has made me think about how I want to look and feel and I AM READY TO START! Write me back if you want to talk more about this. Peace!

Just cut down your portion sizes and avoid fatty foods like ice cream, cheese and full fat milk. You can either go for three meals a day or eat small snacks when you feel hungry.

lol, those are some crazy responses.. anyway.
some good idea for eating healthy and losing weight is to avoid breads. if you forget all about breads and crackers and stuff like that youll be well on the road to a slimmer body. bread is the key ingredient that makes your body store fat. drink milk. and its been studied that if you eat a handful of peanuts a day you wont gain any extra weight(sounds crazy but has ben studied) also, you could just focus on eating good food. stay away from SODAS and chips and candy. just resist the urge to snack on that stuff. focus on eating good foods. get full on vegetables and meats. eat fruit and stuff, as OFTEN as you want. like i say eat all of the good stuff and eat as much as you would like. youll notice a surprising change in your weight and attitude. exercise is good, but you want to focus on cardio. jogging is good for burning fat. it wont seem like much in the beginning but stick with it and it starts to kick it dramatically. just run as much as you think you possibly can. set a goal, around the block twice? 3 times? thats a good way to do it. make the laps short that way you could push yourself to do that one extra set. if its too long youll give up before youre even tired.
so.. eating right is one to to lose weight but you MUST exercise to take it to that next level. trust me it works. feel free to take a break from exercising for a week at a time as well. your body needs time to heal up after long workouts so once you get back in the game youll be at it better than ever!
wow i feel like a fitness expert..
it worked for me )
good luck!

www.nutrisystem.com
they give you food, snacks, DESSERT....and it REALLY works. I love it!!

try vegatable salads or fruit salads and no other liquid but water...but yu cud treat urself to a cup of soda only once ina while. Know yur goal and control what ur body intake in small sizes

I eat green apples with lemon sprinkled on them as a snack. Also Kashi Cereal with skim milk
You can also mix Limeade or lemonade in the blender with yogert for a smoothie. I also eat tons of watermelon! So good and no fat..

i would recommend low fat food with protien like fish, chiken but the way they are preperd also have to do with it and eat every 2 hours that will help and keep you from felling hungry.

I completely recommend the "Fat Smash Diet". You can get all the info and buy the book at www.FatSmashDiet.com. I lost 30 pounds in 8 weeks and was NEVER hungry. I have now progressed to 40 lbs lost and am maintaining while still occasionally enjoying all the special things like birthday cake and ice cream - just in moderation. My wife has also followed the diet and she is down over 2 sizes in her pants/clothes. We have also referred about 20 people to the diet and they have all lost and maintained. I highly recommend FatSmashDiet.com. The only thing I didnt follow from his guidelines was that I still drank coffee. I just drank healthy coffee instead. Get more information on it at www.healthyjoecafe.biz. Good Luck

chicken breasts, and veggies!!! I was 140 about 2 months ago. I strictly kept my diet of chicken breasts, veggies, and two pieces of fruit a day. Sometimes substituting a piece of fruit for yogurt. I currently weigh 132. Along with excercise (lots of cardio) and plenty of water!!! I want to get down to about 125. It's worked for me so far...Good Luck!!!

Exclude birds and mammals from your diet. This will definitely work and will also provide other benefits over time. You will even smell better!

put the fork down.

Watch your calories and you can eat whatever you want. Try and stay around 1500 calories a day. Try grapefruit juice 1/2 cup at each meal. Grapefruit juice boosts weight loss but can effect your medications so ask your doc first.

Eat what you want, just cut out fast food and a lot of sweets. Eat smaller portions. Try eating more fruits and vegetables and salads. For a snack I usually eat a piece of fruit, yogurt, or a piece of string cheese :)

Eat less.

Flavored rice cakes. Low carb frozen meals.

Celery and water.

Eat whatever you fancy but in moderation.

Vegetables, especially raw, are your friends. Eat a lot of them and fill up. If you want a good cookbook that focuses on raw food, check below. Raw food takes off the weight, though you should limit the oil and avocado and nuts if you are really overweight. You almost cannot overeat on this diet and it's delicious. The raw spaghetti in Cornbleet's book is amazing. Even non-vegetable loving friends eat this and can't believe it's not pasta but raw zucchini.

go to slim_fast.com, register for free. Look up recipes. They have lots and none of the ingredients are slim fast products.
Also try www.dwlz.com, they have lots of weight watcher recipes.

Always drink grape fruit

Eat a lot of protein, like chicken and tuna(salad), beef. Plus a lot of green vegetables. Do you like cucumber? Eat all you want, it contains water, that's it.
Don't forget to drink at least 3 of those little/normal bottles of water.
And in a vitamine store you can purchase protein shakes. It's a big container, for $30,-, it will last you a long time. Take a glass of milk, mix it with one scoop shake, and drink that 3 times a day. The shakes taste good, I love them, different tastes too. Ideal would be to take the protein shake after working out.
What else? Eat every 4 hours. Eat small amounts. Stay away from too much fat en sweets and pasta and white bread.
DON'T forget to work out, exercise. Walk, what ever, as long as you DO move! Ideal would be cardio, a lot of it :)
Good luck, Ciao :)

Do not listen to the "low-carb" people. Instead, make sure your carbs are good carbs. Instead of white bread, eat whole grain or whole wheat. Limit your sugar intake, because these simple carbohydrates turn to fat quickly. Remember, exercise is the most important part of weight loss. Walking or jogging is great. Make sure you stay active.
Also, fish is a great food to eat.

Blueberries, watermelon, Arizona Diet Green tea and Weight Watchers Cookies and Cream ice cream bars.
