These habits are your simple daily actions to help you hit your goals. Focus on these each day — small actions lead to big results.
Take your time to chew and savor your food, which aids digestion and helps recognize fullness.
Example: Set a timer for 20 minutes during meals to encourage slower eating.
Listen to your body's hunger cues and stop eating when you're satisfied, not stuffed.
Example: Use a smaller plate to help control portions and stop eating when you feel comfortably full.
Prepare your meals in advance to ensure you have healthy options available and to avoid impulse eating.
Example: Spend a few hours on the weekend cooking and portioning meals for the week ahead.
Incorporate a protein source in every meal to help keep you full and satisfied.
Example: For breakfast, have a serving of eggs or yogurt, and for lunch, include turkey or cottage cheese in your salad.
Make sure to include at least three servings of vegetables in your daily diet for better nutrition.
Example: Add a side salad with lunch and include veggies with your dinner, like a mix of broccoli and carrots.
Incorporate two servings of fruits each day for natural sweetness and nutrients.
Example: Enjoy a piece of fruit with breakfast and have fruit as a snack in the afternoon.
