Ditch the Froyo for Yogurt 

Froyo tastes so good in the summer, but it's loaded with sugar and calories. For a sweet treat that won't pack pounds, make a yogurt parfait with unsweetened yogurt. Load your yogurt up with low-calorie chocolate syrup, fresh fruit, coconut flakes, chia seeds, and more. The toppings will be so flavorful that you won't miss the added sugar. 

Swap Crunch for Chips 

Hummus and pita chips sounds like a healthy snack, but those chips can add up, calorie-wise. When you're in the mood for something crunchy, trade the chips for a crunchy veggie, like carrots. The sensation of crunch will satisfy that snacking sensation, and you'll get protein and fiber with fewer calories.

Dry Fry for Healthier Meals 

The more cooking oil you use, the more calories in your dish. Master the art of dry frying to lower calories in your side dishes. To dry fry, use a nonstick skillet. Place the veggies or meat in the skillet and allow them to cook over the heat. If your veggies start to burn, use a little water. Meat such as ground turkey or beef should cook using the fat that melts off through the cooking process. 

Try Your Favorite Foods - in Smaller Servings 

Sometimes you have a craving that won't go away. While you may be able to avoid the first couple of cravings, eventually you'll cave and wind up binging on a guilty pleasure, then feel awful for falling off your diet.
