To lose weight for good~ you need to love what you eat!

Vegetables~....low in calories , high in fiber. yes...they are good for you, and good!
The way you prepare them is important. If you don't think you like cooked broccoli, try it again. It might surprise you! Your taste buds change over time!

Fruits~.....this choice is slightly higher in calories than vegetables, but they are a great choice in dieting. The fruit choice is sometimes great to motivate you because of the sweetness. This just might help you avoid that dessert you are craving! This is a wonderful alternative to those high calorie desserts! A simple apple might have 4 g of fiber in a single serving!

Lean protein~...this is a great choice because it is a filling choice. Choose lean sources such as skinless chicken breast, tofu, or fat free yogurt are great sources!

Keep it new too!!! Try new recipes ....often!!! Most of all enjoy this lifestyle! It is for the rest of your life! You are the change you need to see! Great job!!!
