Try brown rice instead of white. Substitute brown bread for white.

* Eat fish two or three times a week.

* Select leaner cuts of meat like those that end in “loin.”

* Remove the skin from chicken and turkey.

* Eat low fat dairy

* Drink water and low calories non-carbonated liquids.

* Use liquid oils for cooking as an alternative to solid fats.

* Minimize too-high calorie junk food like chips, cookies, cakes, and regular frozen goodies.
