Changing any lifestyle habit isn't easy. If you're looking to shed some pounds for summer and are switching to a healthier way of eating, you may find yourself staring at your pantry and wondering what to do. Take these tips from AOL Body and stock your kitchen with healthy staples -- having all the building blocks for healthy eating sets you up for success.

  • Clean out your fridge, freezer, and pantry of unhealthy foods that can throw you off course.
  • Stock your freezer with frozen fruits and veggies and healthy snacks such as edamame and veggie burgers.
  • Fill your fridge with low-fat dairy, fresh fruits and veggies, lean protein, and a pitcher of water.
  • Stock your pantry with a variety of whole grains, salt-free seasoning mixes, and healthy snacks such as fat-free popcorn.
