Here are 11 of the best healthy eating tips that will allow you to accomplish your weight loss goals and start living a healthier and happier lifestyle:

1. Eat 6 small meals per day (and smaller portion sizes)

2. Eat only whole grain carbs such as brown rice, whole wheat bread and pasta, and avoid refined carbs such as WHITE flour, rice, pasta, and bread

3. Eat a complete breakfast - skim milk, oatmeal egg whites, fresh fruit, wheat bread, and reduced fat cheeses are all great options

4. Keep healthy snacks on hand at work. Salt-free nuts, granola, and veggies are great snacks and will save you a trip to the vending machine

5. Learning how to read food labels is a crucial step in eating healthier

6. Cut WAY back on the amount of sugar you're eating. Choose sugar-free products and sweeteners such as Splenda instead and avoid foods with "high fructose corn syrup," "dextrose," and "sucrose"

7. Drinking red wine in moderation is good for your heart (but more than 1-2 glasses per day can have the opposite effect)

8. Eat more vegetables - try eating 3-4 servings a day for a week. You will be amazed by the results

9. Indulge occasionally. Treat yourself to a couple slices of pizza, a hamburger, or ice cream once per week.

10. If you're eating out, check out the healthy menu options ahead of time at Healthy Dining Finder

11. Learn how to cook healthy food
