    The first few weeks take a bit of planning, as people have said. Read your food labels and go by their portion sizes, get a kitchen scale to weigh food, and use measuring cups for accurate counts. Cut small stuff:
    I omitted sugar from my coffee with milk.
    If I get a Tim Hortons French vanilla latte, I ask for half French vanilla, half black coffee.
    Instead of a balsamic/oil vinaigrette, I just pour a little balsamic on my salad.
    Fruit and a little honey on waffles instead of bathing it in syrup.
