Answer

Low fats (Olive Oil is good or Flax seed oil) Veggies (especially orange vegetables such as carrots and squash)and green, leafy vegetables for fiber (at least 5 veggies a day). Dairy products such as milk, yogurt, eggs, cheese. Chicken, fish, lean red meat (less red meat is preferred.) Legumes (beans). Grains such as wheat, fax, and oatmeal is great too. 5 servings of fruits per day. Lots of water at least 8 glasses a day. Exercise whether it's a brisk walk or going to the gym and working out. It's important to get your heart-rate up.

Hope this helps. I'm on Weight Watchers and learning to eat better and also not over-eating. Women should have 3 1/2 ounces of meat at each meal (or substitute it with cheese .. always some protein is needed) and men can have anywhere from 6 ounces to 8 ounces of meat per serving. Usually one can eat all the veggies they like and gain very little weight. Fruit is important as well.
