When I need to lose a few lbs, I up my water and decrease my dairy. I also keep my starchy carbs in my first 1-3 meals of the day.

I love making barley as a nice switch from rice or quinoa. I just bought a big package of it and have really been enjoying it!

Great advice! I would add green tea to that list. Its become part of my afternoon snack because it tastes like something, fills me up and cleanses out my system.

Changing from regular oil to olive oil, by far the best idea. ever.
Great list!

Although I still want to lose weight, I don’t need to.. so I’m not sure what foods would help with those last pesky pounds. What I do know? I happily eat most of the food on that list! Except the bison, fish and milk.
