Drink water – It’s a good idea to have water available and drink several or more glasses throughout the day, about 2.5 liters. 2. Sodas – Give up sodas, including diet. 3. Avoid junk food and fast food. 4. Eat more fresh fruits, veggies, nuts, lean protein and low-fat dairy and avoid processed foods that are packed with sodium and refined sugar. 5. Eat smaller portions, about the size of your fist. We eat 5-6 small meals each day and never have hunger pangs. Check out the Skinny Plate Challenge for more tips. 6. Read labels and look at the ingredients’ list. Avoid products that contain refined sugar, enriched flour and high levels of sodium.
