ADD TO rather than Take Away. Gradually add water to your diet, and build on that, rather than intentionally trying to drink less soda or juice. If you're drniking more water, you will automatically drink less juice and soda, and you'll prevent yourself from rebelling because you feel deprived.

    To easily get in my 8 glasses of water, I drink two glasses before each meal and before my snack or before bedtime. I am beginning to crave water!

    This same approach works with diet, or at least it has for me. Rather than thinking about cutting out certain foods, I have focused on adding more fruits, vegetables, and lean protein to my diet. This is a much more positive approach to creating a healthy lifestyle!
