• It may be tempting to skip snacks in the quest for a healthier diet but keep in mind that you should eat something, even a small handful of nuts, fruits or granola, about every 2.5 hours to unsure that your body has enough energy to carry it to the next meal.

• Looking back on a past month can be an excellent way to target specific foods to cut out your diet in later months. If you notice that you are drinking too much of a particular soft drink or snack, you can make an extra effort to avoid them in the future.
