Not doing the cooking? Have no fear -- here are a few tips:
- Take half a serving of meat, potato salad and dessert -- and twice as much salad and veggies. That way you can still enjoy everything you like at half the calories.
- Order your burger without cheese -- you'll save yourself hundreds of calories and a fair amount of fat too.
- Skip the beer and enjoy some calorie-conscious cocktails.
- Get up early tomorrow morning and go for a long run and drink lots of water throughout the day. Hey, what's life without a little indulgence every now and then? Just balance it out with something healthy

Simply substituting processed sugar desserts with fruits make a world of difference. Try apple pieces drizzled with honey - very sweet, delicious and healthy!
