Playin' the Game!

There is no reason to starve yourself in order to lose weight!
You just have to be smart about it.
Relax.
Enjoy the journey.
Be ready to adapt and learn a thing of two along the way.
If you're willing to play the game of LIFE then why not make it a game of
HEALTHY LIFE!
Of course there are rules; otherwise, it wouldn't be a game!

Start with Rule #1:
Choose foods that are more filling.
In correct portion sizes these foods fill you up.... not out!
The foods below made my list because they are high in one or more of
fiber, water, protein & air.
There are many others. These are a few of my favorites.

Fullness Factor Foods!
Watermelon
Grapefruit
Carrots
Raw Nuts
Any Leafy Greens
Oranges
Yogurt
Broiled Fish
Berries
Apples
Oatmeal
Baked or Roasted Sweet Potato
Eggs
Beans
Whole Wheat Pasta

Want to take it to the next level?
Try combining the above ingredients.

An example for Breakfast:
Oatmeal with Berries & Crushed Raw Nuts

For Lunch:
Dark Leafy Green Salad with Drained/Rinsed Beans, Shredded Carrots & Boiled Egg

For Dinner:
Salmon, Baked Sweet Potato & Whole Wheat Pasta

For Dessert:
Yogurt or Fruit
