Ideal Weight Meal Plan

This meal plan keeps our family at our ideal weight.
Here are the basic principles:
-We eat raw fruits and/or veggies at the beginning of every meal/snack (for enzymes)
-We eat yogurt at least every other day (for probiotics)
-We eat whole grains, not processed grains. (don't over-eat.. chew slowly)
(in fact, try not to have the evening grain unless you're really hungry)
-We limit sugar.  Our sweet is usually fruit and we eat treats on special occasions.
-Drink lots of water between meals (notice your thrist)
