Eating Healthier
- Drink water instead of soft drinks, coffee, and/or fruit juices.
- Limit eating alone. Eat together as a family or with friends as often as possible.
- Stock your kitchen with healthier snacks (fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grain crackers, peanut butter, tuna fish, turkey slices) instead of high-calorie snacks (chips, granola bars, cookies and sweets.)
- Choose more vegetables and fresh fruits at meal times.
- Choose more whole grains like whole wheat and rye and fewer refined products (e.g., white bread, white pasta, pancakes and waffles made with white flour.)
- Don’t use food as a reward. If you have a good day treat yourself with a manicure or a night out, something you really enjoy.
- Play "put the fork down" at mealtime—put your fork or food down between bites and take your hand away. Eating too quickly often results in overeating.
