Limit the use of products that contain lots of saturated fat and total fat. Use no more than three or four egg yolks per week. Labels also provide Daily Value percentages, which show how a food fits into your overall daily diet. Watch serving sizes. Compare the serving size listed on nutrition labels with the amount you usually eat.
Many little changes add up to a big improvement over time.
Making lasting changes in your eating habits can bring lifelong benefits, but you don't have to tackle everything at once. In fact, making one switch at a time and giving yourself a chance to get used to it may help ensure that you really stick with it. Try to prepare or plan your meals a day ahead of time. Avoid eating on the run. Impulsive food choices are more likely to be poor ones.
