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 time to eat can help you enjoy your food more and recognize when you're full.
Example: Set a timer for 20 minutes during dinner to savor each bite of your husband's delicious cooking.
Learning to stop eating when you’re not completely full can prevent overeating and help with portion control.
Example: When eating your dinner, pause halfway through and check in with your hunger level before finishing your plate.
Planning your meals ahead of time can help you stick to healthy choices and portion sizes.
Example: On Sundays, prepare salads or portion out snacks to have ready for the week, especially for busy school days.
Incorporating a source of protein in every meal can help you feel fuller and maintain energy levels throughout the day.
Example: For lunch, add a piece of grilled chicken or a scoop of chickpeas to your salad.
Make it a goal to include at least three servings of vegetables in your daily meals to boost nutrition and fiber intake.
Example: Enjoy a side of steamed broccoli with your frittata on weekends.
Staying hydrated is key to overall health and can help control hunger throughout the day.
Example: Keep a water bottle with you during faculty meetings to remind yourself to drink water instead of snacking on chips.
