Does anyone have suggestions for healthy lunch, dinner and snack ideas? Thx, Tiff

Hey Tiffany! I personally love Yoplait yogurts for snacks throughout the day; Also, popcorn with no butter (not the microwaveable kind); any fresh cut vegetables with salad dressing (like broccoli, carrots, etc.). Also, Kwan makes smoothies in a blender out of fresh fruit, and they taste absolutely amazing - and are incredibly filling too!

Thanks so much for the ideas/suggestions and website. I'm in the process of revising my "diet." I'm in a relationship with a great guy who is a habit of eating out at fast food places almost every night. I've noticed that his family is the same way and while I've been waiting for him to change things I'm beginning to realize that he may need my help. Thx again.:)

Quick Tip: Whole Wheat helps you shed pounds.  One slice has 1.5 grams of fiber.  Fiber increases your feelings of fullness and studies show the average person who eats more 100% whole-wheat bread and other high fiber foods will lose about 5 pounds in just 14 weeks without making any other changes.
