try salads and fruit salad and alot of salad. like in stead of ordering something thats bad for you when you go out to dinner, order a salad and a diet soda or water instead of regular.

Like I tell everyone on diet things, make sure you eat enough calories every day. Aim for 1500, and never go below 1000, ever.
As to quick and tasty things:
Chicken is immensely versatile, so it is good to keep some baked chicken breasts on hand. For example, chicken tacos take all of 5 minutes to make (take tortilla, put lettuce, tomato, chicken, cheese, salsa, etc.), and if you don't put much cheese and avoid sour cream, there will be hardly any fat.
Fish is also very good. Lots of healthy fats.
Whole wheat pasta is delicious and much healthier. Drizzle with olive oil, add a dash of rosemary, and you have a simple delight.
Fruit bars and sorbets are good desserts. Fruit bars (the 100% fruit or juice ones) are relatively low in calories, and taste great. And sorbets are great for cleansing the palate, leaving you refreshed, and not craving more food.
Also, try drinking tea in the mornings. It is a pleasant way to start the day, and again, healthy. Sweeten it with honey or raw sugar. Green tea is my recommendation.

stay away from white breads because they turn into fat easily. Salads of course are healthy and easy. Also know your portion sizes. For example, 1 serving of meat is about the size of your palm. Try new foods, varity is a key to good nutrition.

A calorie controlled diet is a must. Yoghurt, whole grain, skimmed milk. anything thats low in calories and saturated fats really. Keep away from fried foods and check the nutrition information on the back. best of luck xxxx

On like three shows that i have watched about diets and what not they have all said any foods that have less then 200 calories. && 2% saturated fats are good for you.
