Eat a wide variety of vegetables for every meal. Just that and water and you’ll lose weight.

Healthy tips 🙂 You can try slowing making changes and choosing healthier things for your body.
~ Drink plenty of water. Green tea. Water + lemon (cleansing, great for your digestive system, skin)
~ Eat natural foods, try to eat organic if possible.
~ Eat smaller portions, more often. Rather than larger portions less often.
~ For working out, you could also try a daily brisk walk (good to burn fat/keep in shape), yoga or pilates – instead of classes you could try an at home dvd or a work out dvd, swimming, etc. Stay active daily.
~ Avoid: soda, diet soda or any diet drinks, artificial colors or sweeteners, white flour…
* Also, you can try healthy alternatives to foods.
Examples:
– Replace fast food french fries with homemade sweet potato or regular fries (made with a touch of olive oil, salt & pepper)
– Replace candy with things like frozen grapes or banana slices, dried mango strips, dried blueberries/cranberries/cherries, raisins, etc.
– Try a veggie burger on a wheat bun or a tofu hot dog
– Replace white pasta with whole grain
– For a creamy pasta sauce try tomato sauce with goat cheese mixed in
– Enjoy pizza…but on thin multigrain crust topped with fresh veggies
– Treats are totally okay in moderation =) But for healthier options try: frozen yogurt, dark chocolate, vanilla greek yogurt with berries & grated dark chocolate or chocolate chips, etc.
Healthy food ideas 🙂
~ Greek yogurt or yogurt (nonfat) – Greek yogurt has more protein than regular yogurt
~ Eggs, cheese, cottage cheese (2% is fine), goat cheese, skim milk or goat milk, etc.
~ Vegetables
~ Fruit & Berries
~ Beans (chickpeas, black beans, kidney beans, mixed beans, etc.) – full of fiber and protein
~ Veggie burgers (Amy’s makes great veggie burgers)
~ Multigrain bread, ezekiel bread, rye bread, whole wheat pitas, whole grain tortillas or bagels, etc.
~ Whole grain pasta or brown rice pasta, brown/wild rice, quinoa, etc.
~ Sweet potatoes or potatoes
~ Hummus
~ Oatmeal
~ Healthy cereals (Kashi, Nature’s Path Organic, etc..high in fiber like raisin bran)
~ Nuts, seeds, almond butter, peanut butter
~ Non-dairy milks like soy, almond or rice milk
~ Ground flax seed to add into a smoothie, top yogurt, etc.
~ Olive oil
~ Salmon & Tuna
~ Tofu & Tempeh
~ Whole grain crackers
~ Whole grain waffles
I hope this helps 🙂
