This will cut your daily caloric intake by 33 percent, maybe more.  Eggs are a great diet food and they are incredibly verstile and easily portable!

 Add 1/2 cup of vegetables to every meal.  Making vegetables a staple at mealtime helps people lose 25 percent more weight than reducing the fat in their diet, according to a study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.  This is because vegetables have a low calorie density which make them the perfect healthy diet food.    Dieters will eat 25 percent more food, but consume 20 percent less calories, while still feeling satisfied and full!  Celery, carrots, cucumbers are all great vegetables that are easy, portable and delicious.

Have a glass of lemon water with psyllium either stirred in or take a psyllium capsule each morning before breakfast. Fiber has the ability to slow carb absorption and balance blood sugar.

Eating a whole foods diet will go along way in contributing to your fiber intake. Eat whole grains and fresh produce daily. Steer clear of white food.  It is so processed that there isn't any fiber left!
