Stock your fridge with more low-fat, low-sugar and high-fiber foods than any other type.

Hide deserts. Put them in drawers so that they are out of site and therefore less tempting. Put healthy foods in highly visible, convenient places.

Use food substitutes. For example, use low-sodium spices and herbs rather than salt and egg whites or egg substitutes rather than whole eggs.

Make healthy foods appealing. Keep a flavorful topping or dip next to your healthy food to help make it more appetizing.

Prepare foods as “ready-to-eat” meals or snacks. When you come home from the grocery, go ahead and cut up your veggies and fruits so they're handy when you want a quick nibble.

Freeze fruit. Next time you want a sweet snack have some frozen grapes, strawberries or orange or banana or slices instead of ice cream.

Prepare leftovers as a meal for the next day. This saves time and money as well as providing you with a balanced “T.V. dinner.”
