  1. Add another color to your recipe.
  2. Buy a healthy cookbook.
  3. Get an accountability buddy.
  4. Don’t go grocery shopping when you’re hungry.
  5. Have a garden.
  6. Buy more food at the farmers’ market.
  7. Cook more.
  8. Keep your healthy food at eye level and junk food out of sight.
  9. Admit your eating flaws.
