I'd rather you eat a diet higher in protein and include: fish, white meat-skinless chicken, soy products, beans and legumes and eggs/egg whites AND be satisfied so you are less likely to gravitate to sweets. Eat fruits, veggies (as tolerated) small amounts of nuts, and healthy oils only. Whole grain carbs in 1/2 cup portions with each meal - can also help you to stay satisfied. lactovarian is no plus if it is not satisfying you.
