Learn what a balanced diet is-the famous food pyramid has changed and is no longer so carb-heavy. Focus on eating less bread products and more fruits, vegetables and dairy, with a few whole-wheat foods and a few meats.

2

Include low-fat dairy products like skim milk, and prepare lean meat, avoiding red meat. Fish is the best meat to eat, with fatty fish being the most beneficial. Chicken or ground turkey can substitute for red meat in almost any recipe.

3

Start your metabolism early in the day by eating breakfast.

4

Eat fruits and vegetables with every meal and as healthy snacks. Add fruit to your cereal or to yogurt for breakfast. Similarly, have a salad or a sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and sprouts for lunch, and throw in at least two vegetables to what you are having for dinner.

5

Enjoy foods rich in protein such as fish, eggs, nuts and beans because these help you feel full longer and curb your appetite.

Plan what you are going to eat every day, and avoid having to make quick decisions about meals. Arranging healthy meals and having the materials ready to prepare them is key. Quick decisions are often be unhealthy ones.
