- Go for a simple, healthy eating pattern to nourish your body and bring out your best you.
- Concentrate on smaller portions, rather than forcing yourself to eliminate foods you love.
- Add fiber-rich foods that will keep you feeling full, such as whole grains, legumes, vegetables and fruits.
- Don’t buy empty-calorie foods and sugary drinks – if they aren’t in your pantry, you’re less likely to indulge.
