Load up on fruits and veggies

Getting in your 5-a-day is crucial when it comes to keeping the weight off. A great way to get them in is to start early in the day. Add 2 fresh fruits to your morning bowl of muesli, such as peaches, bananas or strawberries. For lunch, have a side salad with your sandwich, and sneak in an extra veggie between those two slices of bread. Before you know it, you're well past the recommended 5 portions and it's not even dinnertime yet!
