watch out when going vegetarian, it can be one of the most healthy, but also one of the most dangerous diets, as sometimes it can either be on the border of anorexia, or high-carbohydrate/low protein dieting which will cause you to gain weight like CRAZY. Avoid ALL prepackaged Granola-Bars and also Juice Boxes(the devil in disguise), and go organic if can (afford it) but take care when shopping for anything pre-packaged stating its "Organic" as that stuff is usually not healthy at all. For filling foods, I tend to lean to "entertaining foods" that take a long time to eat so that you feel full sooner; in school I tend to slooowly eat celery sticks (0 calories) as well as other vegetables... Bananas, Apples, and Grapefruits are all very filling and take a long time to eat, again, AVOID prepackaged "Fruit Cups" and try to eat everything you can as raw as possible.

 My lunches usually consist of:
Chopped Vegetables (raw sticks)

1-2 pieces of fruit (raw + Whole)

Whole Wheat Sandwich (no Mayo, its evil)with lettuce, fat free turkey breast, and sometimes really good low-fat Havarti *still really bad for you :3

Popcorn ( Smart Pop ) is a really good + Filling snack as an entire bag of the stuff is only 200 ~ calories and I can usually eat it as an entire meal. . .

#1 Rule = No Juice/Pop/Artificially Sweetened Diet Drinks; drink only water,tea, or milk...  

  if you get an unhealthy craving, try to ignore it, drink some water, and wait 15mins and it'll be gone! 

 

HURRAY!
