There are some ways to make your new, daily healthy eating plan easier to follow.

For instance, instead of running to your favorite fast food restaurant to buy French Fries, make a healthier version at home. All you need is: non-stick cooking spray, potatoes, and seasoning.

Broil the fries by putting the pan in the oven till the fries are brown all over. When you take the fries out the oven, add a little ketchup and enjoy your treat.

You'll want to record every item you eat throughout the day. Try to see how many food items you can add to your daily meals that are included in your healthy eating plans as best you can.
