I look at the quality of the product on the back...if it says there is less than 10grams of sugar and less than 10 grams of fat....i know that kinda food is alright for me..
 
I'll read the ingredients list - and if there's anything i can't pronounce or spell I generally won't buy it.

Weighing and measuring to accurately determine portion sizes has also been a great help for me.
 
if it looks fatty on the package also like double choc or something i know thats a no no

but i find foods that look healthy have to much sugar in them and i can't eat em...like hubby brought me breakfast juice low in fat by high in sugar.....

he thought he was doing the right thing

I try to buy 100% not from concentrate, I stick to the serving size and treat it like a serving of fruit. Granted it'll have carbs, but it's a fruit product and that's to be expected.

Your body needs all the macronutrients, it's just striking a balance between them within your daily caloric intake and choosing the healthy fat products and avoiding trans fats and watching out for saturated fats.
 
Keeping a list of reminders for yourself concerning foods and such, replacing soda with water and chips with corn flakes, etc...
 
Two of the biggest things that helped me: Substituting "real" whole foods for processed, pre-packaged and/or fast food...easier said than done but I can't imagine eating any other way once I got the hang of it and leaning to eat in strict measurement/portion sizes instead of a random blob of this and handful of that.
