Eat at least 30g of fiber a day

The foods highest in fiber are the foods that are best for you - fruits, veggies, lentils, and whole grains. A high fiber diet is important for your body's health and proper digestion. Studies show that a high fiber diet can also lower cholesterol.

Eat your veggies first

By eating your vegetables and salad first, you are able to fill up faster and eat less starches and proteins.

Eat less more often

Rather than eating large meals, chop up your eating into smaller portions throughout the day. By eating three meals and three snacks over the course of the day, you will help speed up your metabolism and shed pounds quicker!
