back up from The Biggest Losers' fitness coach

Jillian Michaels in a 2009 article in for women First, offers up a "fat-blasting diet" that fully supports Way to LIVEit principles. She makes what to eat more specific. She urges to choose organic, whole foods first. Says it will power up your metabolism and balance your hormones and in general make you feel better while providing significant weight loss. No talk of calories.

Daily eating specifics:

at least 1/2 cup serving of berries (frozen okay)

3 x 1 cup of dark leafy greens (spinach, arugula, dandelion greens)

2 x 1 cup of broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage or bok choy

5 x 1/2 cup servings orange, yellow, purple or red fruit & veggies (carrots, sweet potatoes, mangoes, tomatoes, watermelon...

add garlic, onions, chives and shallots to meals (detoxify liver)

1-2 servings of nuts and seeds or their butters - serving size is 2Tbsp of butters and 1/4 cup of nuts/seeds (almonds, walnuts, sesame, flax and pumpkin) MUFA - optimize fat burning

1-3 1/2 cup servings of legumes (chickpeas, red, black beans)

3-5 4 oz servings of eggs, lean meats, poultry and fatty fish (organic, free range, wild caught)

1-3 daily servings of dairy (organic and Jillian prefers cultured like yogurt, greek yogurt, buttermilk and kefir (enhance digestion)

3 servings of fiber-rich whole grains (oatmeal, brown rice, couscous and whole wheat

64 oz of water DAILY

That is a lot of food and you are supposed to eat that much daily. If you were in need of a plan that would help you shop and or meal plan this is it, quite a bit of variety as well. No additions of the "other" stuff allowed.

Let me know if this helps! It helped me.
