Keys To Nutritional Success
Don't let other people rule your self-image. You can overcome your uneasiness
about going to the gym! Pat yourself on the back for doing something positive
about reducing your weight and improving your fitness.
What's the most effective way to curb your cravings? Be prepared! You should
always keep a small stash of healthy snacks nearby in your office drawer, your
impulse purchases just to satisfy your growling stomach. Replenish your supply each week with convenient, healthy
snacks such as Medibar Diet's BBQ Soy Nuts and more than a dozen flavors of tasty
nutrition bars. Throw a few fiber drinks in, too, for added variety.
Also, don't go to the grocery store without a shopping list. You're more likely to cave in to
temptations, especially those buy-one-get-one-free sales on chocolate chip cookies.
Did you know that 2% milk actually contains 5 grams of fat per one-cup serving?
A better choice: 1% low-fat milk. The best choice: skim milk.
Take time to savor each bite while you're eating. It takes about 20 minutes for your stomach to tell your
brain that it has food in it. By slowing down your eating, your brain will realize you're fuller sooner and
you won't eat as much. To remind yourself to slow down, put your fork down between each bite.
Need some quick inspiration for portion control? Eat with other people. Why? You'll eat less than if you
eat alone.
Having trouble figuring out portion sizes? Take the guesswork out of eating with our weight
management products, which we've packaged for perfect portion control.
Want to boost your chance for weight loss success? Get a "diet buddy." Ask your spouse, your
mom, your best friend or a close colleague to take the weight loss plunge with you. You can
exercise together, share success tips, exchange healthy recipes and encourage each other every
step of the way.
