Ditch the diet programs that make big
promises but fail to deliver consistent
results. Take matters in your own hands.

1. REPLACE ONE
HEALTHY FOOD
WITH ANOTHER
Switch one unhealthy food at a time.
Substitute a food item for a healthier
option. Do this even if the healthier option
isn't very healthy, as long as it is healthier
than your previous choice. For example, a
drink of 50/50 juice and water is better
than soda.

3. 2. COUNT CALORIES
If you eat more calories than you burn,
you will gain weight. Counting calories
is an excellent way to gauge how much
you eat per day. You don't need to count
everything you eat, but having an idea
that a milkshake might be 1000 calories
will help you to swap it for something
lighter.

4. 3. READ LABELS
Reading labels might surprise you.
Some foods widely regarded as
healthy are loaded with sugar, fats,
or salt. Pay attention to the daily
percentage value.
One food item should not provide a
significant percentage of your daily
value. For example, a food item
with 50% of your daily sugar
allowance will likely cause you to
eat more sugar per day than is
healthy.

5. 4. BRING FRUITS
AND VEGGIES TO
WORK
If you have the afternoon munchies at
work, you can satisfy that by bringing
fruits and veggies. Work has fewer food
options, so you are more likely to eat
what you have. Bringing your snacks will
train your palate to eat those items.
If you do work where food is abundant,
you should still bring healthy snacks.

6. 5. SWAP BAD FATS FOR
GOOD FATS
Do you like butter? You will be happy to know
that basil infused olive oil is a tasty
replacement for your toast. You can also
replace butter with olive oil in many of your
home meals.

7. 6. DO NOT SHOP ON A
HUNGRY STOMACH
Hunger makes everything looks good,
especially junk food, and you will buy
those foods.
01
Hunger makes you overspend on your
shopping bill.
02
Hunger makes you waste food. What
looks good and what tastes good are
two different things.
