You’re more than ready to say goodbye to the steady stream of eggnog and sugar cookies. But crash diets and juice fasts aren’t the answer. Here’s how to start feeding your body the good stuff—without a side of hunger and deprivation.

Drink more water.

Staying hydrated can stave off fatigue, beat brain fog, and even keep your metabolism humming. Pick a daily sip count, and use a water-drinking app (like Waterlogged) to hold you accountable. 

Make a daily soup-or-salad rule.

Swap your sandwich for a cup of minestrone, or pass over the pasta for a bowl of hearty greens. Soups and salads make it easy (and delicious) to sneak in more vegetables. And because they’re loaded with water and fiber, they’ll fill you up for fewer calories.

Pack clean snacks.

Having healthy nibbles on hand means you’re less likely to fall victim to the vending machine. On the weekend, put together healthy grab-and-go snack packs that you can toss into your bag all week long. Think fruit with string cheese, nuts and seeds, or sliced veggies with hummus. Try these 12 snacks nutritionists eat to curb their cravings all day long.
