For me, I eat more fruit. On the old plan, I rarely ever ate fruit because it cost points that I didn't want to waste. So I was bad about eating fruit, so I love that it's 0 points now. I don't go crazy with it, but I usually manage to have 3 servings of fruit a day, one with each meal and then always have veggies.
I've also gotten better at making informed decisions when I go out to eat. Many chains have menus and nutrition information online, so it's easy to decide what to eat and calculate points before even stepping into the restaurant. Last weekend I went out with my family to a local restaurant that didn't have their nutrition info online, but I looked at the menu, decided what I wanted and, on a whim, emailed the restaurant. They emailed me back with the NI for the entree I wanted and I could plan the rest of my points from there!
