When it comes to eating healthy and losing weight, diet and exercise aren’t the only things to take into consideration. In fact, having a solid foundation in place is crucial to weight loss success. If you’re serious about sticking to your weight loss goals, it’s time to take a closer look at your environment.

The following tips from Stephanie Rost, a registered dietician with the Weight Watchers 360 program and Brian Zehetner, Anytime Fitness chief scientific officer, will help you revamp your space so that it works for you and your weight loss goals.

1. Make healthy choices a priority. If fruits, vegetables and lean proteins aren’t the first things you see when opening the fridge or pantry, it’s time to reorganize. Place healthy food at eye level so that it’s easy to spot and move less healthy items to areas where they’ll be harder to find.

2. Clear those counters. Ample counter space is a blessing for those that love to cook, however, it can also be detrimental to those looking to maintain a healthy weight. If you’re constantly snacking on the junk food that always seems to find its way to the kitchen counter, do yourself a favor and put it somewhere out of sight.
