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."
—Laura Davis, Comfort Food Diet forum
