Helpful Healthy Tips |
|
|
 |
|
Until you get a feel for typical serving sizes, measure portions with measuring cups and spoons. It keeps you on track at the start and quickly teaches you to judge portions automatically. |
|
 |
|
Household chores count as exercise too! In just 10 minutes of dusting, washing windows, or making beds, you can burn as many as 60 calories or more. Throw in a few laps up and down the stairs and you’ve got yourself a workout! |
|
 |
|
You don’t have to keep a formal journal of what you eat. Do whatever works: You can list foods on sticky notes, email yourself or jot it down on scratch paper and still get a sense of accountability and awareness. |

"I have lost over 100 pounds in the last year and a half by making a lifestyle change! I bake or grill my meat and eat very little red meat. We eat turkey, chicken and salmon burgers."
