Remember, you are what you eat, so fill your body with healthy foods that provide necessary vitamins, minerals and nutrients, and cut out the fat, sodium and bad-for-you foods.

1. Use flavorful herbs and spices instead of salt to add flavor to your favorite dishes
2. Choose canola or olive oil – which are loaded with good-for-you nutrients and fat – over butter, margarine or oils that are high in saturated fat like palm oil or coconut oil
3. Opt for whole grains, like brown rice and multigrain bread, which are packed with important nutrients and are full of fiber to make you feel fuller faster
4. Indulge in healthier, low-fat snacks, like nonfat frozen yogurt, sherbert or sorbet, fresh or dried fruit, low fat crackers, and hard candy, jelly beans, candy corn and gumdrops
5. Prepare food by steaming, roasting, poaching, baking or broiling instead of frying or sautéing
