Beat the Morning Munchies
Plan out and prep a healthy and filling breakfast the night before. Make it easy to grab and go so that a hectic morning doesn’t lead to an unhealthy meal.
Bring Healthy Foods with You
Don’t let hunger catch you unprepared. Find healthy foods that are easy to pack and easy to make when you’re on the go.
Don’t Let Work Stress Get to You
Take a quick “walk break” instead of a “snack break.” Ten minutes out and ten minutes back can help you reduce your stress and reset your resolve.
Avoid Grocery Store Temptations
Eat something before you set foot in the store so you’re not shopping hungry. Try avoiding the middle aisles (where all the junk food lurks) and go wild in the produce section instead. Don’t forget to stock up on healthy low-calorie snacks.
Prep for the End-of-Day Sweet Tooth
Have a healthy sweet treat prepped and ready to go when you need it most. Frozen grapes, fresh watermelon, or canned pineapple (in its own juice) are some of our favorites! It’s Hard to Keep Saying “No” to Unhealthy Foods That’s why it’s important to remove temptations and surround yourself with lots of “Yes” foods (low-calorie foods plus lots of fruits and vegetables). You don’t need to go hungry to eat healthily!
Old Habits Are Hard to Break
The secret is to fill the void, by replacing old, unhealthy behaviors with new, healthier habits. To-do behaviors are the focus of a healthy weight loss program because they keep the task clear, which helps you stay focused and committed. We’ve found that the more you do of the “to-do’s,” the more likely you are to reach your weight-loss goals—more fruits and veggies, more planning and more physical activity. It’s simpler, more motivating, easier to keep up, and develops healthy routines that can help you stay strong all day and every day.
