What foods are good for dieting? Any vegetables or fruits? I need to loose about 35 pounds and I exercise?

about 3-4 times a week. I don't want to take acai berry or other supplements, as they don't work for me and I rather not take something where I don't know fully the ingredients. I'm just looking to find the most nutritious foods available. I heard foods rich in fiber are good for you. Is that true? What do you guys think? Any suggestions? I would like to loose the weight within 6 months if not sooner. Thanks!

Lots of fruits and veggies are great for weight loss. Lean proteins like chicken turkey and fish are amazing as well.

I changed my diet significantly 4-5 months ago to lose weight and i know how boring it can get with just plain fruits and plain veggies and chicken cooked the same way every night. I eat t he same types of foods every meal, just made a different way. For lunch, i generally just have veggies. Sometimes i'll add a protein but usually i save that for dinner. I cook veggies by either just boiling them...a lot of the time i'll stirfry them though (that's my favorite). Cut up whatever veggies you want but keep each to 1-2 cups per veggie and put them in a skillet with 1/2 cup of water and let them cook til they're as soft as you like. I personally prefer a little crunch to them but that's just me. Once they're to how you like, add 1-2 tablespoons of soy sauce for flavor and let them cook and stir them for another 4-7 minutes and you're good to go. Sometimes i'll add 1/2 cup of brown rice as well. Another way to cook veggies is to bake them. Put 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a baggie with salt and pepper as you like it and cut up the veggies you want and put them in the baggie and shake til they're well covered. Then pour the veggies into a pouch-like thing you've made out of aluminum foil, place on a cookie sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes at 300. Then take it out, open the aluminum foil and put it back in under the broiler at a low level (around 2) for 5 minutes and they're done.

For protein things... I like making squash and mixing pieces of stirfried chicken in. Bake the squash as usual. For the chicken, you can either use a tablespoon of olive oil or just non-stick spray on a skillet and cook til done and mix. You can also cut up onion, carrots and a potato; make the same pouch-like thing out of aluminum foil (only double it up in case juices leak) and place the veggies and chicken breast in the aluminum foil sprinkle 1/2-1 teaspoon of chicken powder on top, wrap it up and bake for an hour at 350. You can also just do the stirfried veggies with stirfried chicken (cooked the way i already stated for both; only cook chicken first, then add veggies) and that's great as well.

I have more recipes but these are my favorite; very healthy and not a ton of calories either!

I forgot about breakfast...it's not the biggest meal for me so it usually just leaves my mind. I go small for breakfast because i'm never hungry in the morning. I usually have a yogurt and some granola mixed in or the fiber one cearal (a lot of fiber is good for you by the way). Or i'll hard boil 3-4 eggs and eat the egg whites and give the yolks to my dogs. Sometimes if i am feel extra hungry, i'll do a 2-3 egg white omelet with 1/4 cup co-jack cheese, 1/4 cup mushrooms, 1/4 cup onions and half of 1/4 cup diced half. While getting the egg whites ready, pull out another little skillet and put like a teaspoon of olive oil in it and pour the ham, mushrooms and onions in and cook for a few minutes. The onions are amazing soft and it just all around tastes better when everything in the omelet is hot.
