eat smaller meals more often (like 6 times a day)
cut back on sweets, soda, white bread, and fried foods. instead, eat whole grain foods, fruits and veggies, lots of protein (such as fish, eggs, chicken breast, and nuts)
low fat cottage cheese is amazing for you!
and it never hurts to take a multi-vitamin...just ask if you would like more details
:) good luck!

LA Weight Loss
Around since 1989, L.A. Weight Loss centers can be found in 48 states, Canada and Europe. With more than 650 stores, they're fast becoming one of the biggest players on the diet scene. In fact, according to the company Web site, the CEO has aspirations to "become the largest weight management company in the world." On the plus side, the L.A.Weight Loss diet calls for regular supermarket foods. Unfortunately, counselors tend to push company products -- snack bars and supplements -- on participants.
It's all about sensible portions. Diet counselors gather height, weight, age, activity level and a medical history in order to figure out a specific program for each dieter. Plans are based on a specific calorie level, but you don't actually crunch calories. Instead, you count portions from different food categories: proteins, fruits and vegetables, fat, starch and dairy. Dieters follow prescribed food plans and learn how to prepare foods healthfully. Counseling sessions and weigh-ins take place privately.
There are three distinct phases. The first is for weight loss. Dieters are assigned somewhere between 1,100 and 1,800 calories a day. After reaching their goal weight, they transition into a 6-week stabilization phase. The third and final phase is a maintenance program that uses counseling to help maintain weight loss. Candy, donuts, and other indulgences are reserved for this phase. The diet works out to approximately 45 percent carbohydrates, 35 percent to 40 percent protein, and 15 percent to 20 percent fat.

The best diets are high in protein and fiber and low in fat and calories. Try eating lean proteins and high fiber foods. Kashi makes a good cereal that is high in fiber. Make sure you drink plenty of water. Stay away from sodas!! They are the devil!
