No need to deprive yourself

Eating a healthier diet doesn’t have to mean deprivation. You don’t have to cut out your favorite foods completely — you just have to make a few changes. Treat yourself to a mini chocolate chip cookie instead of a full-sized one, for example (or just one instead of three!). By trying to eat the most nutritious foods possible, you are creating a healthy lifestyle that will help you reach your best weight. TIP: If you are craving something and trying to get your mind off of it by eating a healthier option, you're probably going to still have that initial craving and will end up eating both items, so you should just listen to your body from the beginning. And if you're going to bake, Splenda is an amazing sugar and brown sugar alternative.
