I’ve change up my diet, I’m currently july cooking to freeze healthy meals. I have a 1 and 3 year old so lots of pasta and starch at night but I’m going to start eating different meals. I’m making chick pea and butter but soup. Green soup. I have green smoothies for breakfast, I’ve cut out dairy and sugar. I’ve started rebound exercise classes 3 times a week. If I can just stick to it and not snack I’m sure I’m on the right road! I know the pill is not a magic pill and I have to do the work I just felt I needed a bit of help with snacking. It’s hard with my small children to not snack.
I like your diet! I would suggest you eating healthy snacks also. Here are some ideas for you:
BLUEBERRY AND GREEK YOGHURT
Opt for low-sugar, low-fat yogurt, and add 0.5 cups of naturally sweet blueberries to it for fiber. Blueberries are high in antioxidants, fiber, and yogurt is rich in calcium and protein. It is the perfect combination to energize the body.

CHERRY TOMATOES AND PINE NUTS
Eating fresh vegetables such as cherry tomatoes improves digestion, strengthens the immune system, and improves skin condition.
Nutritional information for one plate of cherry tomatoes and 25-30 grams of roasted pine nuts: 190 calories, 19 g of fat (total 1 g saturated), 5 g of protein, 5 g of sugar, 3 g of fiber.
OLIVES STUFFED WITH BLUE CHEESE
Olives are full of vegetable fats that saturate for a longer time.
Nutritional information for seven olives: 140 calories, 14 g fat (mostly saturated).
SWEET POTATOES WITH CINNAMON YOGURT
Sweet potatoes are a source of vitamins A and C. Cook medium sweet potatoes for about 8 minutes (cooking times may vary), sprinkle with plain low-fat yogurt, add cinnamon for a nutritious and delicious hunger-satisfying snack.
Nutritional information for one medium potato and 2 tbsp. Low-fat plain yogurt: about 190 calories, 0 g fat, 15 g sugar, 6 g protein, 7 g fiber.
TOMATOES WITH MOZZARELLA CHEESE
This flavorful snack is easy to make with just the food in the fridge. Cut open the tomato, top with a slice of mozzarella, fresh basil and drizzle a little olive oil for a balanced and nutritious snack.
Nutritional information per serving: about 180 calories, 5 g fat, 5 g protein, 2 g fiber.
