Processed and junk food are high in fat and carbs while low in fiber and nutrients. Opt for fresh (or frozen) fruits and vegetables, and choose fresh, lean poultry, fish and meat instead of processed sausage, hot dogs, and lunch meats.

Drinks offer you only calories with no nutritional benefits. Watch your alcohol intake as calories from alcohol can add up quickly and replace it with non calorie drink like water with lemon. Low-fat milk and 100-percent fruit or vegetable juices are healthy beverages, too. Don't forget to keep track of the calories or sodium.
