Simple Ideas for a Slimmer, Healthier You
Use the low-fat version of dairy products in recipes.
Substitute applesauce for butter or oil in cakes.
Learn more on how seasonings and herbs, rather than fat, makes food taste good.
Include fiber, especially in the form of fruits and vegetables. For example, high-carbohydrate potatoes can be replaced with high-fiber sweet potatoes.
Serve plenty of fruits and vegetables that are currently in-season. They taste better and are generally cheaper than out-of-season produce.
Decrease intake of sugar-sweetened beverages – including soda, fruit juice, punches and sugar amount in coffee and tea.
Get some reast! Fewer than seven hours of sleep means the body produces more of the stress hormone cortisol, which spurs hunger.
Reading food labels more carefully.
Reduce your stress as it stimulates the hunger center in the brain, destabilizes our blood sugar, and reduces our levels of serotonin, all of which trigger a desire to eat.
Avoid take-out whenever possible, as well as fast food commercials!
