Add, Don't Subtract
Forget diet denial: Try adding foods to your diet instead of subtracting them.
Add in healthy goodies you really love, like
deep-red cherries, juicy grapes, or crunchy snow peas. Slip those
favorite fruits into your bag lunch and breakfast cereal; add the
veggies into soups, stews, and sauces.
"Adding in really works, taking away never does," says registered dietitian David Grotto, RD, LDN, author of 101 Optimal Life Foods,
but do remember to keep an eye on overall calories. And don't forget to
add in something physical, too, whether it's doing a few dance moves
before dinner, shooting hoops, or taking a quick stroll.
