A study showed that when people had a cup of soup or a salad 15 minutes before a meal, they ate less at the meal and were more satisfied. Bean, pea, and other hearty soups are really easy to make in a slow cooker, and the legumes are really good for you.
As others have said, it's a good idea to have a small, portion-controlled snack in the afternoon, as you're more likely to overeat if you're really hungry.
Also, rather than going on a diet, think of this as a lifestyle change that will make you healthier and give you more energy. The word diet has a temporary connotation, but this is something you want to maintain. Good luck.
