1. Keep healthy snacks handy.

Healthy snacks in the kitchen make on-the-go eating easier. Fruit, mixed nuts, edamame, and hummus-covered veggies are my favorite healthy snacks.

2. Replace refined grains with whole.

Brown rice and whole grain pasta, bread, and tortillas can replace white pasta, rice, bread, and tortillas.

4. Drink more water

Sports drinks, sweet tea, and fruit juice are syrupy and calorie-dense yet lack nutrients. Drinking water all day decreases processed food and improves diet.
