It's time to get healthy! And a good place to start is by eating healthy with these super diet tips.

• Drink plenty of good, filtered or bottled water each day. It's cheaper long-term to install a water filter in your kitchen than to keep buying bottled water. So check into it! Also, drink water with meals instead of sugary drinks so that you can taste the food better and not fill up on soda instead.

• Eat plenty of fresh fruit. Fresh fruit is actually better for you than fruit juices that often contain a lot of added sugars. If you do opt for the juice, go half-and-half, watering it down as you would for a baby so that it's healthier for you.

• Your stomach is only as large as y our fist. So don't overeat.

• Eat slow so that your stomach does fill up and you can not only enjoy your foods more and longer, but feel when your stomach is full and stop eating.

• Look into healthy diet plans if you are having difficulty controlling your eating and figuring out what to eat. There are a bunch of popular choices at eDiets.com with program descriptions, trial offers, free subscriptions to newsletters, recipes, helpful articles with more tips and a lot more.

• Buddy up and find a friend or neighbor or your mate to get healthier with together. Take turns cooking or team up and learn to prepare healthier meals together.

• Eat plenty of protein and a variety of protein. Protein isn't just beef. Try different kinds of nuts, add in eggs, chicken, fish, etc.

• Experiment with plenty of different recipes on a regular basis. Eating the same old, same old gets boring and invites unhealthy snacking and meals. Search for recipes online and cookbooks at local bookstores, the library and online at Amazon.com and eBay.com.

• Try baking on a cookie sheet instead of pan frying your foods. And instead of grease, line the sheets with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, then spray with cooking spray.

• Experiment with low-fat and no-fat dips and salad dressings to liven up your veggies - both raw and cooked.

• Brush your teeth after each meal and snack. This helps cut down on what you eat in between, because you'll want to keep that clean, fresh feeling in your mouth and you won't want to go brush your teeth again so soon.
