Others may not like this suggestion but it really works for weight loss.
Low carb diet. HIgh protein diet. The atkins diet.
The idea is that you are more satisfied eating proteins, they take longer to digest and lower your blood sugars and avoid insulin spikes from high glucose loads.
There are high protein shakes and bars that you can buy to satisfy your sweet craving, better to just avoid them though as they are expensive. maybe use them for an occasional treat.
Eat meat, eggs, fish, cheese including cream cheese, olive oil, all veggies, except starchy ones like potatoes, corn, peas, berries in moderation.Nuts and seed in moderation.


breakfast:
3 egg omelet with broccoli and cheese,
1 cup strawberries or cup of tomato juice
lunch:
chef salad mixed greens with cut up turkey and ham and cheese and other veggies with regular ranch salad dressing or olive oil and vinegar, toasted sunflower seeds. 1/4 cantelope.
Dinner:
sauteed garlic, stir fry chicken and vegetables,(squash, green onions, celery, green peppers, carrots) Half cup cottage cheese and 1/2 cup blueberries cover with half and half and splenda.
snack:
1/4 cup almonds, 2 dark chocolate kisses.
(((((HUGS))))

suggest you take calcium and multi vitamin and stool softener
There is a high fiber lower carb bread to use for sandwiches. Natures own makes it. When counting carbs, look at your labels they will tell you how many carbs per serving, you get to subtract the fiber carbs from that number.
Shoot for less than 60 carbs a day. they sell carb counting books with food items until you learn what you can eat and not worry about counting carbs.

just a suggestion of course
