The only thing your doing as far as diet that I would change is the bannanas. Considering the amount of carbs in a bannana they are one of the worst fruits for cutting. Try changing to Strawberries or something those are much better. If you are worried about pottasium start using the potassium...

Salmon is an excellent source of Omega 3s it is one of the best fish to eat.

That sounds like a good combination then bro. Tuna is super healthy for you one of the best diet foods out there.

FitnessFrk is 110% correct rice cakes are like injecting yourself with pure sugar from a hypodermic. I can't believe they trick people who are trying to lose weight into eating these when the companies KNOW they are so high on the GI scale.

I can comment on the fruits. Strawberries are very low in sugar. Actually all berries are so maybe try eating berries instead of the grapes.

The main thing about the beans is how much you eat. if you stick with maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup and eat that along with some healthy lettuce or other green veggies and some lean meat then fine. On the other hand if you load up on them it will become a problem or if you eat them along with bread...

I hope the flaxseed worshippers don't see this post but... From what I have heard flaxseed oil is like raw crude oil. Your body if everything is working right will turn it into EPA and DHA which are the things you are REALLY trying to get by using it. I think as far as health benefits getting...

I am in the USA. You should be able to find that book at any major bookstore. If not you can order it from Amazon or Barnes and Noble online or something like that. It will be in the Diet section even though it is much more than a diet book. Ok I checked out Amazon.co.uk the UK site for Amazon...

OK here I go again with my favorite book. Protein Power Lifeplan by Mary and Micheal Eades has an extensive chapter called The Leaky Gut. I can't really summarize it very well in this short a space but basically eating lots of wheat products can cause undigested wheat to ferment when it hits...

I would say that mainly she needs to just make sure that her carbs come from salads and green vegetables. It would be almost impossible for here to overeat on those. Fruits are a little tougher but berries are a good option for low carb fruits. As an example 12 cups of salad greens have the...

SmokingHawk is completely correct about blueberries. They have more then double the antioxidants that Spinach does. Rasberries and Blackberries are up there too. Plus they dont have a lot of sugar and have decent fiber. Strawberries are very low in sugar and still have a good amount of...

Whatever you do don't use margarine instead. Margarine is much worse for you then butter. Go to low fat butter if you want. Butter is natural fat. Margarine is a frankenstein monster made in a laboratory. I can't stress this enough all the talk about margarine being healthier then butter is a...

According to Barry Sears who knows a thing or two about this stuff 500 milligrams of EPA and DHA is a good target to shoot for. That is about 4 capsules by the bottle I use.

Here is a website to compute maintenace calories. http://www.caloriecontrol.org/calcalsm.html The main thing to remember if you are trying to lose weight is that not all calories are created equal. If you eat protien and fat together vs eating carbohydrate and fat even if it is the same...

It looks great to me the only thing I would suggest is cut back on the gatorade to maybe 16 oz instead. Blueberries are an excellent fruit to eat by the way. They have more antioxidants then spinach. Strawberries are good too if you want something to combine with them.
