Tip: You don't have to go crazy and stop eating everything you love to lose weight. Each week substitute one "bad" food for one that is on our list and the fat will slowly but surely melt off. Example: Skip the candy bars and eat an apple instead. Just by doing that you'll be miles ahead of most people and well on your way to a thinner, happier you! Be sure to check out our berry page for more naturally sweet foods.

P.S. It won't do any good if you cover apples with caramel or dunk cherries in chocolate. You have to be realistic. Eat these foods as nature intended - plain!
