Eat Smart

*Don’t Skip. You know it’s been said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Eat a healthy, nutritious, filling breakfast to keep you from making up for it on your next meal.

*Avoid Sweets. Slowly phase out candies and other sweets from your diet. Not only do they tend to be high in calories, they’re also bad for the teeth.

*Go fresh. Visit the produce section of the grocery and stock up on fresh fruits and vegetables that are sure sources of vitamins and minerals.

*Impose a kitchen curfew. Tame your stomach by resisting any late-night grumbling. Eating close to bedtime will not give your system time to fully digest all the food.

*Resist temptation. If you don’t have a chocolate bar or a bag of chips just a few paces away, then you will be less prone to snacking on them. Stock up on healthy food that is low in fat and calories.

*Cut down. Lessen the portions that you consume gradually: if you used to have a cup of rice, get used to two-thirds, then half.

*Call in the alternate. These days, low-fat and non-fat alternatives abound. Use low-fat mayo, milk, yogurt and cheese instead.

*Go natural. Process food with all their preservatives and additives are bad. Buy fresh meat and fish from the market instead.

*Fiber-fill your diet. Choose whole-wheat breads, brown rice and other fiber-infused food to fill you up faster and make your snacking healthier.

*Juice up! Instead of drinking alcohol or carbonated drinks or powdered juices that are high in both sugar and calories, go for fresh fruit juices to sweep out toxins.
