19. Have a sweet treat once a week.

less than 5 grams of fat per ounce.

32. Increase your fiber intake -- chose whole-grain breads, cereals and pasta products, legumes, and
raw fruits and vegetables.

beverages, or fresh fruit to fill you up.
34. Cook with chicken broth, nonstick cooking spray, wine or water.
36. Shrink portion sizes of meats and starches, and pile on the vegetables.
38. Choose low-fat frozen yogurt or frozen juice bars instead of ice cream. Be careful of the portion size
-- these foods still have calories!
40. Keep the junk foods out of sight in your home and workplace.
41. Take walking shoes or a jump rope with you when you travel to keep up with your exercise.
42. If you?re getting off track, try to pre-plan your food intake for the next three days by writing it
down.
43. Buy frozen diet dinners with 10 grams of fat or less and 800 milligrams of sodium or less.
