This is a proven way to lose it and to keep it off.  Tried and true-ed by Starrykins.  lol
 
Only fresh fruit, any type, from the time you wake up until noon. You think fresh fruit is boring?  Check it out... there's countless things and combos of things.
 
Noon meal:  high water content veggies and fish or small portion of lean meat.
 
Same in evening.  At no time, OVEREAT
 
When I made up my mind to lose weight and spiffy my diabetes self-care, I went this route; it worked, it tasted good, I felt good.  Besides eating this "Fit For Life" way, I walked and ate Mac Apples.  lol  
 
Here's a favorite "sandwich" of mine... I used to pack them in picnics, when I had to go with Side on an all-day roadside mowing stint: I still salivate at some of the memories of brookside lunches, waaaayyy out in the boonies.   lol
 
the New York Goodwich
 
1       c            Broccoli
      1/2   c            Cauliflower (optional)
    2       tb           Carrot -- finely grated
    2       tb           Red cabbage -- finely grated
    2       tb           Yellow squash -- finely
                         -grated
      1/4   c            Barbecued Onions ( just a sweet onion, cut in rings, sauteed until limp, then enuff BBQ sauce added to just coat... leftovers are great in soups! )
                         
    1                    Whole wheat tortilla,
                         -chapati, or pita
    1       tb           Eggless mayo or tofu mayo
    3                    Thin slivers of dill pickle
      1/2   c            Lettuce -- finely shredded
      1/2   c            Alfalfa sprouts
    2                    Avocado slices (optional)
            ds           Sea salt, Spike or salt-free
                         -seasoning (optional

    Prepare the vegetables. Cut broccoli into thin
   lengths, using only florets and upper portion of
   stalk. Break cauliflower into tiny florets. Place
   broccoli and cauliflower in vegetable steamer,
   covered, over boiling water for 5 minutes or until
   vegetables are tender when pierced with tip of sharp
   knife. Combine carrot, cabbage and squash and mix
   thoroughly.
  
    Prepare the barbecued onions, if desired.
  
    Assemble the goodwich. In hot dry skillet, heat
   tortilla or chapati, turning from one side to the
   other until soft but not crisp. Place on large sheet
   of plastic wrap. If using pita, heat in oven for a few
   minutes to soften it, and cut a sliver from top so
   pocket opens easily. Combine all other ingredients;
   mix well, and stuff into pocket.
  
    Spread tortilla  with eggless mayo. Add a line of
   broccoli down center. Crumble cauliflower and place
   aline of it on broccoli. Add a line of pickle, a line
   of grated vegetables, a line of barbecued onions. Top
   with lettuce, sprouts and avocado. Sprinkle with Spike
   if desired.
  
    Roll tortilla tightly, crepe-style, around vegetables.
    Wrap tightly in plastic wrap until ready to serve.
  
    This Goodwich will keep for 2-3 days in the
   refrigerator. Cut it in half and push plastic wrap
   partially down, but leave one end closed to catch the
   drippy sauces.
