    Chicken breast - boneless skinless.
    Nature egg egg whites - if you have a Costco membership they are really cheap!
    Spinach - in the egg whites, for with the chicken, sauteed on its own!
    Silver hills little big bread - it's like one piece of sprouted grain bread chopped in too...really healthy and same amount of calories and carbs as one piece of bread.
    Cucumbers - low in calories, carbs, and mostly water so a bit of a diuretic. Can be so versatile - used under the chicken, with the spinach, with low fat mayo or cream cheese on the bread...used as bread with tuna or chicken sandwiched in between...as a snack..LOVE THEM!

    Goat Yogurt (I'm lactose intolerant)
    Blueberries ( or fresh papaya, pineapple, strawberries)
    Chia Seeds
    Salmon
    Fresh Veggies (kale, red cabbage, fresh beets, brocolli, romaine, as much color as I can get - made as salads and all eaten raw - shred the beets - it's so good for you - sprinkle everything with Chia seeds - it helps to cleanse the body - a natural way to detox and adds a nice crunch to your salads - even on my yogurt with blueberries or other fresh fruit.)

    Fish
    Spinach
    Greek Yogurt
    Brown rice, whole-grain bread or pasta
    Fruit--bananas/apples/oranges/bluberries in rotation. Or a papaya which is the most nutrient dense.
    Red wine

    Yeah, that's six. But I don't go w/o the wine.
