1.\nCook instead of eating out. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you try to eat healthy at a restaurant, that pesky bread bowl or\u00a0sneaky salad\u00a0may pack more calories than you planned for. With health being a new popular trend trust your inner Top Chef skills and turn on the (skillet) heat. Cooking at home will more likely result in a healthier meal, not to mention a happier wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Eat whole fruit instead of\ndrinking fruit juice. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A glass of O.J. contains very little of the pulp or skin from an\norange\u2014and none of the fiber content. Skip the glass and go with the whole\npiece of fruit to reap the full nutritional benefits of this sweet, healthy\nsnack (and save some calories while you\u2019re at it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.\nUse oil and balsamic instead of processed dressings.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ever flip that dressing bottle around and see a million\ningredients listed? Think \u201cless is more,\u201d and lightly dress a salad with some\nolive oil and balsamic vinegar\u2014no additives included!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Eat raw spinach instead of\niceberg lettuce.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s be real, iceberg lettuce is boring and lacks nutrients. Spinach is\na flavorful alternative \u2013 it\u2019s full of vitamin K, vitamin A, calcium, and iron.\nPlus, Popeye loves it, so you can\u2019t go wrong!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Use Greek yogurt instead of\nsour cream.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crave sour cream in your burrito? To get that same creamy\ncoolness, add a dollop of plain Greek yogurt. You\u2019ll amp up the protein and\nslash the fat.
\n
\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.\nSprinkle cinnamon instead of sugar. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a spicy suggestion: Use cinnamon instead of sugar packets\nto heighten the flavor of coffee without adding extra\ncalories. Try it in oatmeal, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Choose salsa instead of\ncream-based dips.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dip chips into this fiery, flavorful alternative to cheesy spreads\nto get extra nutrients for fewer calories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Eat frozen grapes instead of\na Popsicle.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s like eating bite-sized Popsicles with no artificial\nadded sugars!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Drink sparkling water\ninstead of soda.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try a fun flavor like lemon-lime or even vanilla if you don\u2019t like\nstraight soda water. Need some sweetness? Keep it natural by dropping in a half\nor whole packet of Stevia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Top pancakes with fresh\nfruit instead of syrup.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing like a good stack of pancakes every now and then.\nCut calories by skipping the maple syrup, (especially since many syrups on\nthe market today aren\u2019t made of maple at all!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. Snack on air-popped popcorn\ninstead of chips.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Craving something to munch? Air-pop some popcorn and add a dash of\nsea salt\u2014three whole cups is only about 100 calories. That\u2019s way more\nsatisfying than six greasy chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. Order red wine or beer\ninstead of a margarita.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll drink about half as many calories.  Your body\nwill benefit from the antioxidants in red wine plus it\u2019s believed to\nhelp improve cholesterol, fight free radical damage, fight obesity and\ncognitive decline, and help manage diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13. Eat oatmeal instead of\nsugary cereal. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Options like Cap\u2019n Crunch and Frosted Flakes are filled with sugar\nand artificial ingredients, while oatmeal boasts heart-healthy\nbenefits.  Choose the right oatmeal: reach for steel cut or rolled oats,\nnever processed, to keep your diet lean, clean and nutrition-rich!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14.\nEat at least three times a day instead of skipping meals.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you don\u2019t make the time to squeeze in a midday meal, you end\nup feeling tired and grouchy\u2014and you set yourself up for overeating later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. Use mustard instead of\nmayo. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For tomorrow\u2019s turkey sandwich, skip the fat-filled mayo and\nspread some tasty (and naturally fat-free) mustard on the bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16. Spread avocado on bread\ninstead of butter.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add a dash of sea salt and some sliced tomato for a great midday\nsnack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17. Get a doggy bag instead of\novereating.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To avoid eating more than planned, ask the waiter to wrap half of\nit up before it even gets to your table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

18. Chew slowly instead of\nquickly.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the rush? Studies show people\nwho eat faster consume more calories.  Enjoy your food and all its flavor\nand chew thoroughly to aid digestion.  It takes your brain 20 minutes to\nrecognize the status of your appetite so give it time to catch up! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

19. Eat at the table instead of\nin front of the TV.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dining in front of the television can lead to serious\novereating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

20. Eat breakfast instead of\nsleeping in.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may be tempting to hit the snooze button more than once in the morning\nbut allow some time for breakfast\u2014it will help jump start your metabolism and\nhelps wakes your brain and body before you head to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

21. Use a medium plate instead\nof a large one. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smaller plates (about eight to 10 inches in diameter) can save you\nmore than 20 percent of the calories you\u2019d eat in a larger-plate-sized\nserving.  Same goes for utensils and beverages by the way!\nSmaller quantities equal less over-consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

22.\nEat with chopsticks instead of a fork.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may be a challenge, but it\u2019ll stop you from speed-slurping\nthose noodles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

23. Go grocery shopping when\nyou\u2019re full instead of when you\u2019re hungry.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

People spend more when they shop hungry\u2014and choose less healthy\nfoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

24. Stop when you\u2019re full\ninstead of when you clean the plate.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A plate half-full means more leftovers and fewer calories!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

25. Nap instead of sipping on\nan energy drink.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy drinks can pack as much sugar as six\u00a0doughnuts, while catnaps are always calorie-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
