Fill up with fiber! Fiber has no calories, but it still makes you feel full. Fiber is found in cereal, whole wheat bread, vegetables and fruits. Note: To be considered ‘whole wheat, look at the nutrition label to see that each slice has 2-3 grams of fiber. Also compare the nutrition labels of cereal to find one that has the highest fiber content. Simple Carbohydrates such as table sugar, white bread, white rice, pasta, white crackers and candy will give you quick energy but they will not last and may make you even hungrier soon. It’s not worth it, instead pick snacks lower in sugar, fat and calories. Just because it’s ‘fat free’ doesn’t mean it’s a good choice. Food manufactures often replace the fat with sugar to help improve the taste. This may increase calories. If you must drink alcohol try to stick to plain liquor mixed with diet soda, or light beer. A mixed drink can have around 400-600 calories! Pre-plan. Pre-wash and cut snacks and have them with you all day. Bags of baby carrots, grapes and other healthy foods do a great job of replacing junk food. Be creative! Try new fruit and vegetables each time you go to the store. No one wants to eat the same thing everyday, so give yourself a choice and have fun finding new favorites. Don’t forget that most liquids have calories too. If you are trying to lose weight DON’T drink regular soda, and try not to drink too much juice. Try having fresh iced tea sweetened with a low calorie sweetener, a tall glass of ice water with lemon, diet soda, crystal light or diet v-8 Splash.
