Many people play drinking games with alcohol. I play them with water! In the car take a drink of water after each song on the radio, watching tv take several drinks during each commercial break, at work take a drink after answering each phone call or email. 8 cups will be gone before you know it! 3 Members Were Sparked
MORE Fruit & Veg....every meal!!!! Incorporate Fruit and/or Vegetable at EVERY MEAL & SNACK. Include at least one with breakfast, one for mid-morning snack, 2 @ lunch - you are already at 4 servings for the day! Dinner should ALWAYS include veggies and/or fruit. 5 Members Were Sparked
BEFORE that cup of morning coffee - drink a glass or TWO of water. If you have more than one cup of coffee in the morning - drink at least 1 glass between cups of coffee! This gives you a jump start on your water each day! 5 Members Were Sparked
Up till I started this program I skipped breakfast a lot. I actually like eating breakfast and it keeps me going. 5 Members Were Sparked
I bought the funnest salad plate and a "special" set of silverware..I use it instead of a "regular" plate..It holds less and gives me the opportunity to register the fact i am feeling full.. 7 Members Were Sparked

Use the calorie tracker even when you know what you're eating isn't always the healthiest. By being true to yourself you will establish healthy habits in the long run. Everyone has a bad day or strays once in awhile, don't take it as a defeat just another mile on the road to healthy eating. 7 Members Were Sparked
I found the worst time of the day for me was mid-afternoon. I needed something to eat that was healthy and filling but would make me want to eat "more." I settled on air popped popcorn with a butter flavored spray or carrots and hummus. 5 Members Were Sparked
If you divide large packs of crackers, pretzels, or chips into snack-size bags (about 1 cup each) you'll be less apt to overeat. |
