Brenda Cousineau has dieted for years. But the 45-year-old from Vancouver always got fed up with programs that left her feeling hungry. When she started eating dishfuls of high-fibre cereal, lean protein, low-fat dairy and lots of fruit and vegetables, she dropped 20 pounds and two dress sizes in two months. And she never felt deprived. "I was so used to thinking I could only eat little bits of food," says Cousineau.

Eat more, weigh less
