    How to do it

    1. Notice when you usually reach for a sugary drink, pastry or packaged snack.
    2. Pick one of those moments to swap.
    3. Try sparkling water with lemon, unsweetened tea, fruit with nuts or a wholegrain option.
    4. Keep a few simple swaps at home.

    Easier version

    Choose a smaller size, or mix juice half and half with water.

    Why women include it

    Small swaps are an easy place to start. Many women choose one food or drink a day to change rather than cutting everything out.
