Welcome Pat- you'll find this website really useful.
As for recommending snacks and meals- that really depends on what you like to eat or cook!
I go for lots of fruit snacks- there's plenty of variety and I like to enjoy discovering new fruits which I've never tried before.
Fresh figs are currently my favourite and nectarines are totally delicious.
When it comes to fresh food, if you keep it simple, you can't really go wrong.
I particularly like eating fresh fish right now- and I just had the tastiest piece of grilled sea bass last night for dinner.
Combined with a few greens, it was delicately flavoured and fantastic.(fairly expensive, but hey, why not- I'm doing well)
Like I say, simple is sometimes best.
Sometimes, losing weight is an opportunity to discover interesting new food- i suppose it depends on which way you look at it, but I'm really enjoying my food right now- sometimes it's a relief to stay away from fatty junk food!
