    So far your list is great, here are some more

    turkey slices(they have them in the deli section with only 45 calories per serving)

    Kashi cereals

    South beach diet bars in the peanut butter chocolate or vanilla crunch(taste great!)

    carrots

    salsa(dip your veggies in them because it fights cravings and speeds up metabolism) anything spicy helps to speed metabolism

    celery(burn more calories eating)

    blueberrie(great form of antioxidants)

    green tea(speeds up metabolism)

    water (drink 16 ounces first thing in the morning to help speed metabolism and an additional 80 throughout the day. believe me this helps with faster weight loss especially if the water is ice water cause your body has to work hard to warm it up thus helping you burn more calories)

    whole grain bread or whole wheat bread (no white!)

    salad dressings that are low calorie such as the ones you spray(10 cal for 10 sprays)

    8th continent soy milk has only 50 cals for 8 ounces

    fat free cheddar cheese

    egg whites

    low fat yogurt such as light and fit 60 cals per container

    low calorie soups (fill you up fast)

    bran buds(lots of fiber to keep you full plus aids in digestion and faster weight loss)

    Hope i helped and good luck with your weight loss : )

    it's not so much the food you have to buy , it's really the amount and when you buy it .

    the last thing you want it a pile of food in your fridge thats just sitting there .

    it's tempting .

    you should aim more for making a chart of the week for what you will make for breakfast , lunch and dinner .

    if you get hungry in between , a light yogurt or a bowl of fruit is always the acceptional cheat .

    try and stay away from alot of breads .

    you should never have more than two servings of bread per day .

    junk food such as chocolate or chips can be sacrificed to lose the weight you want to .

    it's very tough in the begining but its worth it in the end .

    it's important to iscolate the foods that you eat regularly , and after you've lost a weight you are comfortable with , slowly reintroduce those foods , but don't get back into the same habbit .

    I hope I helped out in terms of speech (:

    as for foods ,

    try organic brands and whole wheat breads .

    those are very good for you , but don't over do it .

    Skip the fruit, milk, and cereal. Use half & half in your coffee. Get your carbs from vegs only. Eat lots of proteins, like fish and chicken meat (no coatings). You won't even have to control portion size if you do this faithfully. Drink tons of water and GET OUT AND MOVE. You'll feel like a superhero in ten days, I promise you.

  • Eating healthier isn't going to help you by itself. You have to keep yourself busy with excercising. Yoga, cardio workouts etc. If you don't keep yourself busy your just going to end up eating more and more healthy food and eventually it ends up unhealthy for you. You'll end up gaining weight. You may even want to try Wii Fit. It's expensive but definitely worth it.

    Whole grain pasta, whole grain bread, turkey lunch meat, tuna, any fresh veggies or fruit that is on sale that you will eat, yogurt, nuts are good in moderation.

    Whole wheat tortillas, pizza sauce, cooked veggies, and low fat motzerella cheese make a great low fat pizza.
