Ditch these Five Food Items to Lose Weight

Those are super suggestions. I've cut down bread to one small slice of homemade sourdough a day, for breakfast, and feel much better. I drink fresh water all day long, most of it in the morning. For lunch I have homemade vegetable soup and when I'm hungry I grab a tangerine. At age 67, this keeps me from gaining weight. A couple of years ago I cut out soda.

Hi Susan,

Thanks so much for your response. I agree, I've significantly reduced the rice, pasta and bread in my diet. I love carbs but I find that when I eat them, they really seem to stimulate my appetite. When I eat a sandwich or have a turkey burger, I only eat one half of a bun or use one slice of bread. It's made it much easier to maintain my weight.

I love vegetable soup and fruit is a great choice for snacks. Sounds like you are right on track with your food choices.

Have a great day!

For a great alternative to pasta try japanese Shiratake noodles. They taste great and are practically carb-free!

Those sound great! Do you find them in most grocery stores or would I look for them in a specialty store? Thanks for the great information.
