This means fresh or frozen fruits instead of canned, whole grains instead of enriched flour, brown rice instead of white rice, and as little fast food as possible.

]]> 79168 1 34 Tip Avoid “low-fat” or “zero-calorie” processed foods, as they typically have more sugar and salt. Refining grains also removes bran, which contains most of the vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

]]> 79169 2 46 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/210843/46.jpg Follow the FDA’s recommendations to eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Try sprinkling berries in your cereal, drinking a fruit smoothie or juice, and adding extra veggies to your pasta sauce, pizza, casseroles, and even sandwiches.

]]> 79170 3 62 Tip An official serving size is: a medium piece of fruit, a ½ cup of chopped fruit, ¾ cup of pure juice, a ¼ cup of dried fruit, a ½ cup raw or cooked vegetables, or a cup of leafy vegetables.

]]> 79171 4 75 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/210843/75.jpg Pay attention to what, how much, and how often you eat. Absentminded eating is one of the greatest threats to successful weight management and long-term health.

]]> 79172 5 86 Tip Don’t multitask when eating. You’ll often stuff your face with nutritionally poor foods that are convenient but not healthy.

]]> 79173 6 93 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/210843/93.jpg Try to drink 64 ounces of non-caffeinated fluids every day—the majority of which should be plain, pure water. A glass with every meal will help your digestion, keep you full, and help your mood—and if you drink it before eating, it can stave off hunger pangs.

]]> 79174 7 109 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/210843/109.jpg Eat fish twice a week: it’s packed with top-quality protein, as well as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids that can protect your heart and brain from damage and disease.

]]> 79175 8 119 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/210843/119.jpg It’s okay to splurge and eat something less-than-healthy now and then, just be sure to watch out how much and how often.

]]> 79176 9 127 Fact The diet industry in the United States rakes in over $40 billion a year.
