Choose lower sodium food products
Read the Nutrition Facts label when buying foods like bread, soup and frozen meals. Choose the ones where the label says something like “reduced sodium”, “low sodium”, or “no salt added”.
Choose fat-free or low-fat milk

Drink water in place of sugary drinks
If you’re serious about cutting calories, then you have to do away with sugary drinks such as energy drinks, soda and sports drinks. Drink water or unsweetened beverages instead. You can add a slice of watermelon, lime or lemon to the glass of water for some flavor.
