3. It's pretty easy to find healthy options these days, which is great.

I avoid red meat, and stay with poultry most of the time when I do eat meat. I also do the nut thing, they really are good for you. A handful for a snack will keep hunger at bay a lot longer than a little bag of chips.

Other things that are a little harder: give up sweet drinks. They're killers. It's hard to do, but once you reach a certain point, they just taste syrupy sweet and disgusting, so you don't feel like you're missing anything.

Fries. Anything fried really, but fried potatoes are the worst. Simple carbs plus a bunch of fat is bad news. Just sub veggies or a salad, again it's hard to break the habit but once you do, you'll crave those things. Your body is programmed to seek out sweet and fatty so it's hard to tame those urges but you need nutrition and fiber too.
