You always want to practice portion control! A good method for this is to take a look at the food pyramid and follow the portions listed there.

The foods listed in this topic are meant to replace those foods listed in the top portion of the food pyramid.

One of the best foods to eat when trying to lose weight is definitely quick oats. It's so easy to use in your day to day routine. Most people have it for breakfast, but remember not to have it alone. Either have some fresh fruits or add dried fruits like raisins or cranberries. It's good to mix up your meals instead of eating just 1 thing at a time.

Vegetables and salad greens are naturally low in carbohydrates and fat and high in minerals, fiber and vitamins. If you eat vegetable raw, it has a lower glycemic index than if you eat it cooked, and has higher antioxidants and vitamins.

Starchy vegetables also have low to moderate GI, however be aware that white potatoes have relatively high GI. Yam, sweet potatoes and taro root have a lot of carbohydrates that are unrefined and contain a lot of fiber.
