Eat more

• Healthy fats from nuts, olive oil, fish oils, flax seeds, or avocados

• Fruits and vegetables—ideally fresh, the more colorful the better; whole fruit rather than juices

• High-fiber cereals and breads made from whole grains

• Fish and shellfish, organic chicken or turkey

• High-quality protein such as eggs, beans, low-fat dairy, and unsweetened yogurt

Eat less

• Trans fats from partially hydrogenated or deep-fried foods

• Packaged and fast foods, especially those high in sugar, baked goods, sweets, chips, desserts

• White bread, sugary cereals, refined pastas or rice

• Processed meat and red meat

• Low-fat products that have replaced fat with added sugar, such as fat-free yogurt

Be smart around sweets

• Reduce your cravings for sweets by slowly reduce the sugar in your diet a little at a time to give your taste buds time to adjust.

• Avoid the bread (or rice or pasta) if you want dessert. Eating sweets at a meal adds extra carbohydrates so cut back on the other carb-heavy foods at the same meal.

• Add some healthy fat to your dessert. Fat slows down the digestive process, meaning blood sugar levels don’t spike as quickly. That does not mean you should reach for the donuts, though. Try healthy fats, such as peanut butter, ricotta cheese, yogurt, or nuts.

• Eat sweets with a meal, rather than as a stand-alone snack. When eaten on their own, sweets cause your blood sugar to spike. But if you eat them along with other healthy foods as part of your meal, your blood sugar won’t rise as rapidly.

• When you eat dessert, truly savour each bite. Make your indulgence count by eating slowly and paying attention to the flavours and textures. You’ll enjoy it more, and you’re less likely to overeat.
