These habits are your simple daily actions to help you hit your goals. Focus on these each day — small actions lead to big results.
Taking your time while eating allows your body to recognize fullness signals, helping to prevent overeating.
Example: Spend at least 20 minutes on your meals by savoring each bite and putting down your utensils between bites.
Stopping when you’re about 80% full can help maintain a healthy weight and prevent overconsumption.
Example: After finishing your meal, check in with your hunger levels and consider saving leftovers instead of finishing everything on your plate.
Preparing meals in advance can help you control portions and make healthier choices throughout the week.
Example: Set aside time on weekends to prepare your lunches, like portioning out tuna salad and packing it with fruit for easy grab-and-go meals.
Including a source of protein in each meal helps maintain muscle mass and keeps you feeling full longer.
Example: For breakfast, have your Greek yogurt topped with chia seeds and a serving of fruit for added protein.
Incorporating at least three servings of vegetables each day can help lower cholesterol and improve overall health.
Example: Add a side of steamed broccoli or spinach to your dinner alongside trout or chicken.
Focusing on low-fat protein sources helps manage cholesterol levels while still providing essential nutrients.
Example: Enjoy grilled chicken or baked fish at least five times a week, making sure to keep the cooking methods healthy.
