so i am eating more fruit and several meals/wk are between two slices of sprouted grain bread.
my vegie consumption is pretty high and i usually have a salad daily (greek is a fav).
dairy products are a given in the form of cultured items and a morning latte.
i'm doing well and am happy w the changes.
i say, find the items that you enjoy and play around w how your body responds. adding everything back at once would not have worked for me and i suggest that this may help others in finding the right mix.

Here are some things that might help you. I was the same way with Oatmeal until I "souped" it up a bit. Of course make sure you're not eating the packed sugar free kind like quakers apple oatmeal or anything. Just the regular oats. So what I do is 1/2 cup of oats for one serving, 1/2 cup liquid (i do 1%milk but if you are watching carbs you can do almond milk) and 1/2 cup of water. I'll then add 1/2 scoup of WHEY protein powder, and cook. Add, tiny bit of butter, sf syrup, frozen berries, and .5 oz walnuts and you are good to go. Won't get hungry immediatly with it and it's low in carbs.
Another thing to try is QUINOA. It is a "carb" that is very high in protein. It may take a bit to get used to the taste, but it is a much better alternative to brown rice, and other complex carbs.
Hope this helps.
