    2) eat more protein
    3) lean meats
    4) no sodas.. at all, diet included!

    Don't try to do everything at once. Try to make one big change a week (or whatever goal works for you). One week I cut out pop, the next I upped my veggies. Each week I tweaked things, now I'm working on lowering carbs and upping protein. One other thing that is helping me is having a little treat every day. My favourite at the moment is skinny cow truffle Popsicles.. Yum!
