Sorry but there is no such thing as "healthy" sugar
You should be adding more foods into your diet, not taking them out
"When it comes to diet, people tend to be much more concerned about which foods or food groups to eliminate since many are perceived as 'bad.' However, the focus should be on incorporating more of the foods often missing from the diet, such as fiber-rich fruits, healthy vegetables, and whole grains. Adding more healthy foods into the mix can often displace some of the less desirable choices and leave you feeling more satisfied." —Andrew James Pierce, MS, RD, CSSD, CSCS, inventor of the SugarChecked app

All calories are not created equal
"Unfortunately, people still think of calories first over quality. They live on fat-free 'foods' or simple starches, like pretzels. They are not eating real food, which leaves them unsatisfied and causes them to eat more over the course of the day. If you choose foods that are high in fiber, protein, and healthy fats you may be consuming more calories in that serving, but it will help you eat less overall and be healthier." —Beth Warren, MS, RDN, CDN, founder of Beth Warren Nutrition and author of Living a Real Life With Real Food

Carbs are not the devil
Eat with your fingers
"I'll often include finger foods in my clients' meal plans, as it's not just kids who love to eat with their hands. For instance a plate with in-shell pistachios, lightly salted edamame, hummus, whole-grain crackers, and sliced mushrooms and bell peppers provides lots of nutrients and also takes longer to eat, leading to a more satisfying experience. The summer is perfect timing to take your finger-food meal outside and have a picnic while enjoying the weather, scenery, and good food. Food should be fun, not boring!" —Amy Gorin, MS, RDN, owner of Amy Gorin Nutrition in Jersey City, New Jersey

Sit the heck down already
"Sitting down while eating is a strategy used to learn intuitive and mindful eating. It is listening to the body's natural hunger signs: Eat when you're hungry and stop when you're satisfied. We tend to eat for many other reasons besides hunger, including boredom, celebrations, food cravings, etc. When a person sits down while eating, he or she is more conscious and is better able to pay attention to the whole process. Although life can get busy and sometimes it is necessary to grab something quick, sitting down and mindfully engaging in the meal, such as paying attention to the flavor and texture of the food—as well as putting the fork down between bites and feeling the sensation of satiety—can be a helpful tip for anyone to try." —McKenzie Flinchum, RD, LD/N, CPT, Founder of The Flexible Dietitian LLC

Make sure your diet gets an "F" (for fiber)
"Consuming a minimum of 25 to 35 grams of fiber a day will help you feel full longer and naturally curb your appetite. Dietary fiber also helps stabilize your blood sugar, protects against colorectal cancer, and reduces the risk of coronary heart disease. Fiber also significantly influences the types of microbes that live in our gut, which in turn exert an enormous influence on our health. So when planning meals, it is critical to include healthy, high-fiber foods such as raspberries, blackberries, avocado, artichokes, broccoli, green peas, lentils, black beans, and whole grains." —Joanne L. Mumola Williams, PhD, holistic nutritionist and author of Health Begins in the Kitchen

Think beyond the barn
"Proteins are not created equally. Your body needs 22 amino acids but can only make 14 of these on its own. This requires you to get the other eight, called essential amino acids, from food. We all know that meats, cheeses, and eggs are complete proteins but so are quinoa, hempseed, chia, buckwheat, and the combo of brown rice and beans." —Sara Doll, NASM certified personal trainer and nutrition specialist, author of Gluten Free Daily (These are red flags you're not eating enough protein.)
