Don't: Store fatty stuff n clear containers. Because if you can see it, you'll reach for it, says Brian Wansink, Ph. D.
Don't: Keep family-style leftovers, says Wansink. Store them in single portions so you don't overdo it.
Do: Stock up on healthy protein, like omega-3-rich salmon or tuna salad. Mix with light mayo and toss with greens, and - voilà - lunch!
Don't: Load up on juice. Yes, it's fruit, but concentrated. It's like liquid candy - cut it with seltzer.
Do: Put cut-up veggies at eye level. You're three times more likely to take the first thing you see than the fifth, says Wansink's research.
Don't: Keep peanut butter within easy reach. Women end up eating spoonfuls straight from the jar!
Do: Have fresh herbs as well as ginger and garlic on hand. They stay great on the counter too. Tons of flavor, zero calories or fat.
Don't: Rely on low-cal, low-fat packaged meals. They're often high in sodium and low in nutrition.
Do: Swap regular yogurt for the Greek kind. Nutritionists are madly in love with the stuff. It is filling, has protein and tastes deceptively rich.
Don't: Trade bread for wraps. Yes, they're thin, but calorie-wise many equal three or four slices of bread!
