Cut down on carbs and sugar, eat more veggies and fresh foods instead of processed shit. Sure, it won't kill you to have a pack of chips with a cola every now and then, but it's better off if you simply eat less of that!

You'll be eating healthier and better by making most stuff from scratch. A good example is making pasta with homemade sauces instead of premade ones, even a simple tomato sauce with canned tomatoes/tomato paste and fresh seasonings is much better than eating Chef Boyardee, and healthier to boot. Same with pasta with a simple bechamel sauce and grated parmesan!
 
Buy fresh meats and vegetables from the store, eggs. Use those to make breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Check your calories. Make sure you’re only eating 1500 calories a day. If you don’t hit that calorie count with those meals, eat an apple or some type of fruit or vegetable until you hit it. Drink mostly water, with a bit of milk. Add on to that plenty of sleep and exercise.

Good luck. I'm expensive.
 
I can't help you with that, but eating healthfully is easy. There's a whole Food Pyramid that even Kindergartners know about.

That was sponsored by Big Food to say wheats and grains (heavy in carbs and calories) are your most important food group.

To answer OP: I try to snack on fresh produce often, and eat lean meat. Veggies can be tasty and filling and you don't have to pay for the overpriced yuppie scum kind.

The newest version of this, called My Plate, puts more emphasis on fruit and veg than grains. Although, I would just point out that the farming of grains is what allowed us to settle.

But for thousands of years, we would also have to work off those calories, and you would store them for the long, hard winter in fat. The human body hasn't adapted to just a few decades of sitting in cubicles.
 
Reintroduce the ability to enjoy natural sugars to yourself again. Stop drinking soda, tampico-assed "drinks", and "fruit cocktail" beverages. Try to steadily replace all of your stored food with non-artificial sweetener alternatives, anything without high fructose corn syrup and aspartame. Check your toothpaste for saccharin, which is also a sweetener.

If you need sweetness, consider using beets and honey to make meals sweeter. In the great depression era of the usa, people would bake cake with beets to simulate the sweetness of sugar. They would also eat popcorn as a treat, another healthy food provided you dont hose it with butter and salt. Buy a bag of corn kernels and pop it on the stove old school.
 
Just avoid garbage and processed food, That's all
