You're almost there–and you should notice a difference. You're not just losing weight! Your skin looks better, your eyes look brighter and your energy should be through the roof!

ELIMINATE most starch on the days you exercise so you're using calorie–burning time more effectively.

ADD hydration–step it up and really drink more water this week.

ELIMINATE foods that cause bloating, such as raw broccoli and beans, onions and potatoes. "Your belly will look noticeably smoother and flatter," says Alpert.

RAISING THE BAR
Energy bars can be a great source of protein and minerals–just remember that they're never going to truly provide the same nutrients as fruits and vegetables. But they are a fantastic replacement for the inevitable bad choices that come with a late–afternoon craving. Here's how to get the most out of your snacking.

READ THE LABEL
Some protein bars contain things you don't want—caffeine, herbal stimulants–so find the one that fits your needs.

CRUNCH THE NUMBERS
The key: No more than 2–3 grams of saturated fats for about 200 calories of food. And avoid anything made with palm oil or hydrogenated fats.

VITAMIN BOOST
Replacing a small meal with a bar? Make sure it's one that's heavy on vitamins and minerals so you don't lose out on important nutrients.

GOOD TASTE
Try different flavors and brands once you figure out which ones pass the test. You'll only keep up with a healthy snack if you enjoy eating it.
