- Drink lots of water every day.
- Drink lots of milk (at least 4 1/2 servings a day). Strong bones and healthy teeth are very attractive!
- Limit caffeinated drinks and empty calories: healthy foods with substance will fill you up faster so you won't eat as much.
- Find healthy alternatives to between-meal snacks: carrots instead of cookies, popcorn or pretzels instead of chips.
- Don't think that something fat-free or diet foods mean that you can eat twice as much.
- Don't deprive yourself something you're craving, it's better to eat something unhealthy in moderation that to skip it and then binge later.
- Make sure you're eating three balanced, healthy meals a day. Skipping meals can make you feel so hungry that you might overeat at the next one.
- Avoid artificial sweeteners, like Nutrasweet.
- Take a multi-vitamin each day in addition to a healthy diet. Remember, though, vitamins do NOT replace food.
- Even fast food places have healthy options, if available, take a look at a nutrition chart.
