Rules to Eat By

My New Years Resolution at the beginning of 2007 was to overhaul my diet. I made simple changes at a gradual rate over the course of the year. I never felt as though I was "dieting" and since working out more, I actually crave foods that are good for me.

Has anyone else experienced this? Or are you thinking of overhauling your diet? Can you share with us an example of a simple change that you made to become a healthier eater? I think this will be a valuable discussion for the community. Thanks for your participation!

Re: Rules to Eat By
I've made a few simple changes to my diet that I think have been very helpful. I don't eat any less, I just eat "smarter". For example, I will often make myself a bowl of popcorn (air popped) for an evening snack and I will not add salt or butter. I try and read labels and do my best to minimize high fructose corn syrup. I try and eat whole grains as often as possible instead of refined flour. I eat lots of fruits and vegetables. My snack/dessert of choice is Kashi Go-Lean Crunch cereal.
