Delicious for stringing pineapple, mandarin, banana, mango, blueberries and strawberries on a stick and snacking with them.

How do you handle that? Simple:make a DIY salad bar in your fridge. That sounds more complicated than it is, believe us. All you have to do is wash, cut and place your fresh fruits and vegetables in clear containers and put them in the fridge.

A healthy lifestyle is balanced. So that means you can enjoy your favorite, less healthy foods. The key to success is only to do so in moderation. In order not to tempt yourself to enjoy your less healthy foods too often, it is best to keep them out of your sight. For example, place them further back in your fridge so that you can reach them less easily and you are not tempted every time you open the fridge. You can also keep irresistible treats in the freezer. Then when you want a treat, it has to thaw first, so there's a chance that you might be less likely to grab it (or less likely to come back for a second round).
