1. Add rather than subtract. Add more fruit and vegetables to your meals and start your snacks with fruit: - You will have less room for higher calorie, low nutrient foods and the extra fiber will make you feel full and keep you fuller for longer. Your body will benefit from the extra vitamins and minerals from all the fruits and vegetables. Sugar will be slowly released into your blood stream preventing sugar lows and highs. Keeping your sugar levels steady keeps your brain alert and your mood high. You will not feel like you are having to cut anything out which will help your moral.
