7. Cook with vegetable stock

Cooke with vegetable stock in recipes or stir fry using a water saute method rather than frying in oil. Add a little oil at the end! This helps you control how much oil is added to the dishes and maintains the integrity of the oil.

Avoid dressings, creamy sauces and unhealthy toppings - make your own salad dressings with apple cider vinegar/olive oil mixtures or use things like guacamole and salsa

11. Create a food program

When you take control of at least one meal per day you will have results. We schedule work meetings on our calendars, why not schedule a small amount of time to prep, eat or grocery shop?

13. Order extra sides of vegetables

When dining out order extra sides of vegetables to get more greens. Sometimes ordering a few sides is healthier than ordering an entree. Go for the grilled asparagus or steamed spinach rather than the triple baked potato.
