drink liquids, tea, juice, but water is really the best. avoid greasy fried food, and candy or sugar. some is okay but don't overdo. fried food was the culprit for me so now i bake almost everything or broil. rotissari chicken is wonderful. i am not a big fan of grilled but that is a good way to stay away from greasy stuff. don't munch down loads of doritos or potato chips. these are all fried. a few you can have but not the whole bag!!! see if these suggestions help.
