    1. chicken breasts
    2. pork loin
    3. eggs
    4. sweet potatoes
    5. cheese
    6. tomatoes
    7. broccoli
    8. whole wheat pasta
    9. apples
    10. Greek yogurt

    For the sake of sustainability I've tried to avoid becoming too dependent on a short list of special "diet" foods and could easily come up with another 2 or 3 dozen items for a runners up list. I eat most of what I ate before I lost the weight, just prepared differently in some cases and with better portion control. MUCH better portion control... OK, so I barely understood the concept of portion control until a couple of years ago.
