If you're like most, staying healthy and avoiding not-so-good-for-you foods can be hard. But there's a way that anyone can use, and can hopefully help people make healthier food choices and stay away from goodies.


Steps

1. Remember: you have to want to change your eating habits. If you think you have to but you don't want to, then that won't do you any good, because in a short time, you might mess up and feel terrible.
2. Keep in mind that it's almost impossible to entirely give up all treats. After awhile, you'd just go insane and eat a whole tub of ice-cream. Instead, choose one day out of every week to have a treat you totally love, and then the rest of the week stay away from it all. That way you can look forward to something you love, without screwing up.
3. Note that if you have the urge to grab a dessert, quickly go somewhere else, to distract yourself. Ride a bike, read, talk to friends...anything but going into the kitchen!
4. Try having a healthier dessert, like fruit with some drizzled honey on top. That way you're still filling your desire to eat something, but you are also eating healthy!
5. Try eating something every 4-6 hours, so your body can function properly. It's healthy to have 6 or so meals a day, as long as their healthy and not these huge portions!

Tips

• If you go grocery shopping, perhaps you could avoid any un-nutritional foods and then you won't have to worry about lurking in the kitchen for some goodies.

Warnings

• Avoiding goodies is very hard at first. Having a sweet-tooth is hard to get rid of, and even when you don't have goodies, the craving might still be there.
