Cutting way, way back on refined sugar, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, etc... is also a good way.

I think I've read that back in the day 100 years ago the average person ate what amounted to about 1-2 lbs of sugar a year, but now that average is something like 50lbs.

It's scary, if you start reading labels at how many things have sugar in them and how high up the list sugar usually is.

Fruit, natural sugars isn't nearly as bad. Also refined flours and premade foods that you just heat up are not very good for you either. Carbs aren't necessarily the problem, it's the type of carbs.
