Go for big change with itty-bitty tweaks.
11. Don’t drink calories.
Stick to plain water or refresh your body with low-calorie, all-natural drinks like yummy Ginger, Lime, and Mint Flavored Sparkling Water or Strawberry Basil Water.
12. Say “so long” to added sodium.
Processed foods are too often high in sodium, which triggers fluid retention and bloating. Look slimmer faster by avoiding processed foods. Instead focus on Clean-Eating Recipes that incorporate whole or minimally processed ingredients.
13. Eat two small healthy snacks each day.
Maintain steady blood sugar levels and beat back raving snack attacks by eating one small snack in the morning and another in the afternoon. Try 3-Ingredient Parmesan Kale Chips or No-Bake Fruit Energy Bars.
14. Regularly make one healthy ingredient swap.
Make a big difference by eliminating a go-to food that stops you from reaching your ideal weight. If your family digs into sour cream all the time, replace it with plain nonfat Greek yogurt. Like mayo on sandwiches? Swap it out for spicy mustard–mustard seeds contain omega-3 fatty acids, plus the spice adds a temporary metabolism boost.
15. Try one new healthy recipe each week.
Find your new favorite meal by putting one new dish on the menu each week. These recipes are a delicious start:
Fried Eggs and Sweet Potato Hash
Seared Chicken and Quinoa Salad
Skinny Zucchini Pasta & Baby Spinach
