Cook at home! If you have kids, get them in the kitchen to help stir, chop, cut, peel, and
take that time to enjoy cooking together.
Mindfulness of your hunger. Set a timer for 20 minutes before getting a second serving.
More times than not, you will not be hungry.
Use smaller plates. ½ plate veggies, ¼ plate starch, ¼ plate protein. Your plate will be
full, but your intake and calories will be less.
Plan meals. On Sunday go through your pinned recipes and figure out what sounds good
for the upcoming week. Help cut down fast-food runs by planning ahead. Freeze-ahead
meals, crockpot meals and easy 30-minute meals can save you money too.
Watch portion size. Protein should be the size of a deck of cards; 1 cup of carbs; and fill
the rest with veggies.
Eat more greens. We all know that veggies are great for us! Try out veggies you have
never tried before. You never know, you might just like it!
Take-out food. Use a plate. The amount of food in a Chinese food container can be very deceiving.
