Veggies mostly, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, corn, beans, etc. Some fruit, potatoes. I'm a vegetarian but lean meats are ok. Potatoes have starch which is borderline since it does turn into sugar but not as fast. Don't overdo the potatoes, sweet potatoes are better than white. Cook things with spices and flavorings, chew each bite many times until its gone. This gives you tactile satisfaction, the taste satisfies your need for flavor, chewing many times makes your brain think you ate more than you did.
When you go into the store, do not go into the bakery, only problems lurk there. Do not go down the aisles, stay with fresh or fresh frozen veggies and fruit, perhaps lean meat. Whole grains are good, brown rice, oatmeal, quinoa, and a few others. Avoid looking at the tempting displays of crap food, your will power can break down. Once you get home without buying any junk, you have won that battle.
thanks for the response. i'm really needing to make a change and this is useful advice.

People get addicted to food just like a drug. It's a matter of learning the difference between hunger and cravings as well as knowing what your body actually needs as opposed to wants. It must be maddening for someone who's hooked on junkfood with all the advertising around, and the holidays are like a total bender of food. Like the show "my 600 pound life". How the hell do you get that big and at what point do you draw the line.

You draw a line when they need to hook you up to a crane to get you out of bed.

I was also overwieght. What surprisingly helped me a lot, was putting in probiotics in my diet. Probiotics(capsule), yogurt, and kambucha all helped me. Diminished cravings and helped me eat less

Although I am not overweight and wasn't raised on packaged food and in fact grew up with a relatively healthy whole food diet (compared to most) - I am succeptible to this. This past year I am back in school in my home town and drive right past many fast food restaurants - after a long day when I am having hunger cravings, for me a Wendys Junior Bacon Cheeseburger is irresistible.
I feel like this is a response to stress more than hunger and I've since focused on avoiding this. Same with eating crappy starbucks/cafeteria food at school. I can bring a lunch, prepare beforehand and eat sufficiently throughout the day - but when stressed and exposed to these greasy fast food joints (usually while buying a coffee) I've found myself easily succeptible.
The convenience factor just reals me in right past my own best judgement - So i can't imagine how it is for someone with a more ingrained "poor" eating habit. *fucking-society-man-facepalm*
This said - I am learning to deal with my stress more effectively and also tracking my diet more carefully/planning ahead. I hope this won't be a problem next year.
