theartoffood: 6 Ways To Eat More Healthy: Substitute animal fats and oils with vegetable oils. For example, instead of using butter, use olive or canola oil to saute your meats and vegetables. Don’t eat diet anything! Just don’t do it. All those chemicals are worse for your body than eating the real thing. They also make you feel as if you didn’t get that craving satisfied. Instead, use real sugar or butter, just use less! Season your salads! Instead of loading up your salad with heavy dressings for flavor, try seasoning it with dried herbs and spices first. Then you’ll only need a light drizzle of dressing. Better yet, skip the dressing and do an even lighter dash of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Always delicious. Eat more fiber! Everyone’s heard this one before but it really does help. Not only is your stomach using more calories to digest the fiber, it also helps your digestion system work more smoothly and properly. This promotes better flow of energy through your body and when your body is working correctly, you won’t want to overeat. The darker the bread, the better! Not all bread is bad. White breads have been stripped of most of the good stuff, it’s true, but black or brown breads are full of everything your body wants in a grain-made food. Being Russian, I grew up eating very dark, “black” bread. After one slice, you feel as full as if you ate a bowl of oatmeal. Try buying this type of bread for sandwiches.  Portion control is everything! Use a smaller plate size to control how much you serve. After serving, immediately put the leftovers in tupper-ware and in the fridge, out of sight. The less your eyes see, the more you’ll rely on your stomach to know when you’re full.
