What kinds of foods do you eat to lose weight and have more energy? – and please use “real world” foods.

Question by Gary F: What kinds of foods do you eat to lose weight and have more energy? – and please use “real world” foods.
One of the problems I have with popular diets and exercise/nutrition shows or books is that they speak to you as if they think you understand their nutrition lingo. Also, they speak of foods that seem “uncommon” – not something you would find in a local, small-town supermarket. I live in the “real” lower-middle-class world and I can’t afford GNC and exotic fruits, much less find them in my grocery store. Please answer in “real world” language; tell me about foods that really can be found anywhere. And please keep it simple. Thanks!

let me suggest that you read the book “eating for life” by bill phillips. it contains recipes that have every day ingredients you can find anywhere and that aren’t super expensive. the one thing is though, that he uses a lot of fish in his dinner recipes. these can be easily replaced with chicken or lean pork tenderloin which are much cheaper.
