dieting Hi. I'm asking you this question, because in the past, you have been really helpful to me. I appreciate it so much!
Well, Im thinking of going on a diet. Not like a crash diet, but more just to stay healthy, and maybe loose a couple pounds. I was wondering what kinds of food I should eat. If you could give me some basic examples, or maybe a specific one, I would be very grateful. Thanks so much!

The safest way to lose weight is in consultation with a doctor. A doctor can let you know what an appropriate weight is for your age and height, and probably offer tips on good ways to do so.
If being healthy is your main interest, with the possibility of losing a few pounds on the side, here's the honest truth: eat good foods, and exercise. Many people shun this advice because it's not quick enough, and too much like hard work. But the simple fact is that to be healthy, you need to treat your body right. It's great that you don't want a quick-fix solution.
I can't tell you what to eat, but your own common sense might be able to help. A donut versus an apple? Craploads of pop versus water or real juice? Your brain is the biggest help in maintaining your health - from deciding why you want to do it, to noticing the results, to helping you make smart decisions.
Depending on your age and location, there are weight loss and management clubs with weekly meetings. These can be a great way to learn about portion size and healthy eating - once you've got the info you can continue to implement it on your own, or continue with the meetings.
I wish you the best. ]
