Beans

I am a sugar addict and the restriction of sugar is the way I am losing weight. I also try to reduce meat and found that beans are your friend. Beans with a little raw onion and jalapeno pepper is great. People generally do not get enough magnesium, vitamin D, and omega-3. You need to read up on that. But really, I think beans do not get mentioned enough.

There is a Dr. oz that appears on Oprah and he made a great statement on diet. He says there are so many things to chose from that a person should basically eat the same thing for breakfast and lunch. I have learned to look foward to oatmeal in the morning with cinnamon and that will hold me to the apple before lunch. Right now I am eating pinto beans as the center of lunch.

Good luck with everything, but remember that fiber. Dr. Oz also spoke of fiber in regulating hunger in relation to two substances in the body. Ghrelin turns your hunger on and leptin turns it off, if that is not oversimplifying. Anyway, there is some further reading for you.
