Answer
Hi Tanisha,

The simplest advice on developing good eating habits is:  

1. Stop eating junk food, sodas, sugar and sweets, white bread, potato, white rice, and pasta.

2. Eat more vegetables, fish, poultry, oils, nuts, and seeds.

3. Exercise more, specifically do mo strength exercises.

However, it would be better if you enroll in a program. I suggest that you look at our free online Banta Diet plan that includes adjustable eating plan and exercise program good for your fitness level - aerobic, strength, and, as you progress, interval training - http://bantadiet.com
