My exercise habits are STELLAR and I feel great about that part…weight lifting, yoga, and lots of cardio.
Now I just need a good steady “meal plan” or meal tips.
I like protein shakes and milk, for starts.
Thanks for the good advice so far, but I am really looking for a list of suggested foods–something more specific…..i can log the foods i have eaten , but i still won’t really know if they are bad/good. see what I mean? i need guidelines, website links, info from a nutritionist, etc.

when you eat, eat slowly. for example, if you are having a plate of rice, eat about 1/4 of it. stop for about 2-5 mins and continue eating.

That’s great about the exercise…keep it up! The best advice I could give you about eating would be to start a food log (see below). Track what you eat and see what types of foods are “worth” their calories…and which ones are not. This will really help you start some long-term healthy eating habits. Good luck!

The best plan to any diet is eating healthy which means eat whatever you want but smaller portions. You must work out at least 30 minutes a day (walking is the best). Remove all the white stuff and switch to whole wheat. Drink plenty of water and after several weeks you will see a noticeable improvement. This is a life change of healthy eating not just a crash quick weight loss. Stop all eating by 8:00pm You have to feed your body to ensure properly nutrients needed for maximum consumption.
