Now lobster sounds soooo good! Wish I could afford that.

My best tips is to use food you recognize as food. Vegetables that look real, meat that looks real, eggs... and so on. Avoid things that don't look like food. That goes for any unidentified square looking things, mystery goops, odd colored objects.

I think this is bascially what the OP is trying.

Also variety.

My biggest problem is that I forget to eat. I'm definitely no one that snacks through the day.

Another thing is to find out what kind of carbs that will spike your glucose levels. I noticed that I don't follow the rules for this, so I had to sort of find out for myself.
