    If you do well with structure, then www.happyherbivore.com has very healthy meal plans that you can purchase for a reasonable price. She does individual and family.

    I WOULD SAY PICK 2 PROCESSED FOODS YOUR FAMILY CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT AND EAT THEM ONCE A WEEK AND IN PROPER PORTION SIZE MOST IMPORTANTLY LOG IT! MFP KEEPS US ACCOUNTABLE!

    ANYHOW I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO LIST THE THINGS i GET WEEKLY AT THE GROCERY STORE:

    10 GREEK YOGURTS THEY ARE USUALLY 10 FOR $10 AT MY STORE
    3 APPLES
    5 BANANAS
    2 LARGE TUBS OF ORGANIC GIRL SALAD I LIKE 50/50 SPRING MIX
    FROZEN TILAPIA
    BERRIES (WHATEVER IS ON SALE)
    2 ZUCCHINI'S
    1 BUNCH OF SPINACH
    2 DOZ EGGS
    A COUPLE FRESH SEASONAL PRODUCE ITEMS.
    LONG GRAIN BROWN RICE
    100% WHOLE WHEAT BREAD LOAF
    ALMOND MILK

    THESE ARE STAPLE ITEMS WEEKLY

    i ALSO MAKE SURE TO HAVE BALSAMIC VINEGAR, OLIVE OIL, DICED TOMATO'S IN A CAN, FROZEN VEGGIES, LOTS OF SPICES, WHOLE WHEAT NOODLES, AND CLIFF/LUNA BARS FOR ON THE GO SNACK, AND PROVOLONE DELI SLICED CHEESE OR STRING CHEESE

    I KNOW I MIGHT HAVE FORGOT SOMETHING... BUT I HOPE THIS GIVES YOU SOME IDEAS OF WHAT YOU COULD HAVE AT HOME

    Less then what they burn, I try to eat whole foods you can eat so much more calorie vs calories I can have a ton of oatmeal vs a Bowl of ice cream im talking stuffing my belly full (granted its oatmeal vs icecream) boy do I love ice cream. Get yourself educated and if you eat decent and excercise you can still have a couple pieces of Pizza or a bowl of ice cream

    Hmmmm...wondering if I FREEZE oatmeal if it will be a suitable ice cream replacement...

    I eat pizza and burgers and ice cream and Pop-tarts and tacos, and I'm skinny.

    I ate the same stuff when I was fat.

    The magic? I eat less of it now than before.
    And I don't. So... we eat what we eat.

    They eat food, just like us fat people. They just eat less. And they move more. Pretty simple concept, really.
    Some do. Some don't. Meaning some don't "just eat less". Some make conscious decisions about WHAT they eat as well.

    But no matter WHAT foods they eat, they eat less of them.
    Not necessarily.

    The way to go is to make healthy clean versions of the foods you enjoy

    IMO that's the way to yo-yo diet. Cutting out the foods you actually like in favor of "healthy" or "clean" versions often leads to relapsing and binging. Pretty much all the people I know that have been successful long-term, including myself, don't do that sort of thing.
    For you perhaps.

    check out the "100 Days of Real Food" blog on facebook. It has lots of kid friendly, easy recipes and lunch ideas. Mostly you have to quit the junk food. Watch "Forks over Knives" on Netflix. It will help show you how junk food is so bad.

    If by "help show you how" you mean "convince you of something that is false by propagandizing" then yes.

    food.. generally speaking...just not as much as the fat people..

    Although some of them eat strictly cocaine and alochol and vomit alot.. depends on how skinny you're talkin...

    When losing weight, modifying your outlook towards food is equally as vital as the actual food you eat. My personal mantra is that some people live to eat, while others eat to live. Combined with exercise, my mental strength helped me lose 35+ pounds! :)

    The funny thing about skinny people; they either eat nothing or everything. Your welcome.
