Fiber is the key to weight loss- I am convinced! I'm down 5 pounds. Try to get at LEAST 2 cups of raw veggies and 2 fresh fruits into your diet every day. Eat only whole grain cereals. It works, guys.

1 bowl of shredded wheat with skim milk and some vanilla creamer to sweeten

3 cups coffee

8 cups water

1 banana

1 apple

1 bowl of steel cut oatmeal with skim milk

1 cup radishes

2 cups celery

1 chocolate powerbar

1 chicken, pepper, onion burrito (low fat, high fiber tortilla)

I had a student tell me that I like grapefruit WAY too much. It's true- I got through stages where I'll eat the same fruit, veggie, cereal for days on end. He hates grapefruit and wanted to know if he could sub in another fruit. YES- sub in any other fruit (fresh preferably) or vegetable or whole grain cereal (try to pick from raisin bran, shredded wheat, grape nuts or oatmeal) or low calorie/low fat meal.
