25. Seriously, skip processed meat in your diet.
When you are out at a restaurant, try ordering a grilled chicken or fish sandwich instead of a sandwich with deli meat. You can easily add vegetables to your omelet or scrambled egg instead of bacon, ham, or sausage. You can spice up your salad with some tofu, flaked tuna, a hard-boiled egg, or grilled chicken instead of cubed deli meat. These are not only healthier choices, but they also help to add some variety and color into your diet, as well.

To help you become more mindful of just how much processed meat you are eating, try keeping a food log, write down what you are eating, and see what kind of changes you can make to your diet. Start carrying freshly chopped vegetables with you instead of a deli sandwich. It will be both filling and a healthier choice; you could have hummus to dip the vegetables in as well. It may be hard at first to eliminate certain foods from your diet, but once you start choosing healthier foods and reducing, even eliminating processed meats from your diet, eating healthier will become much easier.
