Your resolutions should never be put off. If you finally decide to start your healthy eating plan, start to do it right away. Here are some top tips to help you beat the food temptation (诱惑) and keep healthy.

We've heard that Rome wasn't built in a day. We should follow the same way when it comes to losing weight or eating clean. We can start by making one simple small change every week or two. By the end of the year, you would have made around fifty small changes that's more than enough to equal big results.
Beat the temptation by always being prepared. Have healthy snacks such as a small tub of blueberries, nuts, apple slices with nut butter, carrots, or other vegetables within easy reach. When you feel really thirsty, have a cup of cold water instead of coffee or milk tea.
