stay away from the italian dressing and go fat free salad dressing instead!. In between eat lots of veggies like celery green beans cucumbers or carrots!. Also protein bars low in fat are great!. But so far so good here are some additional tips:
eat these foods
lean meats such as chicken and turkey that is baked or grilled not fried
power bars with low sugar
bran buds(fiber helps with digestion and aids in weight loss)
salads
low calorie soups
apples
Salsa(speeds up metabolism and helps fight cravings)
egg whites (limit yolks)
whole grain or whole wheat bread and brown rice(NO WHITE!)
Make sure you are drinking at least 80 ounces of water a day !
this is key to your weight loss!. It sounds like a lot but it really isnt!. Mix water with crystal light if you need some flavor
Green tea also speeds up metabolism
dont eat past 7 at night
Drink 16 ounces of water as soon as you wake up in the morning this boosts energy and metbolism
As far as exercise goes do 1 hour of cardio a day 5 to 6 times a week!. This includes but is not limited to running, speed walking, swimming, elliptical!. Go to a gym and do resistance training 3 times a week or find some good list of exercises on the internet that can be done easily at home!. You CAN do it!. KEep telling yourself that!.
Also dont forget it is ok to indulge every once in a while!. Studies prove that every once in a while can be a boost to the metabolism!
I wish you the best of luck on your weight loss journey!
And always remeber "Once on the lips, forever on the hips"

I don't consider yogurt healthy!. When I did eat it, I didn't find it to be very satisfying to begin with!. The tea might be okay, but I'm not really in to tea!. I'm a coffee person!.
I don't think Quaker granola bars are healthy!. They're filled with partially hydrogenated oils, corn syrup, artificial colors, etc!. In a pinch though, I think they're slightly better than granola bars!.
For your salad, romaine lettuce or spinach would be better than iceberg!. I don't do cheese either!. I also usually find just lettuce salads with veggies and beans not very filling!. Most conventional dressings seem to contain high fructose corn syrup and other fake stuff and I don't know about Wishbone Italian!.
If you want a snack, go for fruits and veggies; all-natural granola bars (I buy the ones from the Trader Joe's grocery store) a slice of whole wheat bread with Smart Balance or peanut butter, etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
