  • Agree you should seek help from a professional. You mention trying to get outside as much as possible. What if you put a pause on gym time and go for walks. You can keep good pace and burn a decent amount of calories.

  • Quinoa! I'm starting to make a batch using a new recipe every Sunday and bring to work for lunches. The latest recipe I tried was half quinoa, half lentils ... High in protein and fiber!

  • Nicoise style salads for dinner! For two of us, I use 1 can of olive oil packed tuna from Trader Joe's, half a can of Cannellini beans, a handful of steamed haricots verts, a hard boiled egg and a handful of cooked fingerling potatoes.
