Think about what you eat. Maybe even write it down. Then look over your typical eating plan honestly. Maybe you love those two scrambled eggs each morning. How about substituting one egg white for one of the whole eggs? Or maybe your favorite nighttime snack is a big bowl of chocolate ice cream. Consider keeping it to one scoop, or switching to frozen yogurt, and adding bananas or berries to fill you up. Remember, small changes that you can live with, without feeling deprived, are the best.

Experts know that eating healthy is only one part of the answer. Exercise can make the biggest difference of all. The best exercise for you is the one you enjoy. Try a variety, and decide which you like best. You can exercise alone or with a friend. Get out in nature or join a club. For the most benefit, exercise for 30 minutes three times a week. Any way you do it, you win.
