Find healthy recipes to help you stay trim.

1. Treat your daily diet like your bank account.
   Set a calorie budget. Spend wisely. Watch closely. Splurge occasionally.
2. Move around more
   Plan for at least 10-20 minutes of uninterrupted physical activity every day.
3. Snack within your calorie budget.
   Choose healthful snacks, including fruits, vegetables and whole grains most of the time. A higher-calorie or higher-fat snack means that you have to make a trade-off.
4. Be a label reader.
   Reading labels is a smart move and a great habit to pick up if you haven't already. Stick to the serving sizes that are suggested and think about how each food fits into your healthy diet.
5. Use exercise, not food, to relieve stress.
   Exercise. Just a brisk walk will release endorphins, the "feel-good" hormones that can help to improve your mood.
