For the next few days.... Healthy Habits Better Eating Resolutions...(We all should follow) I want to eat more fruits and veggies Eat at least one more vegetable or fruit at every meal. Keep cut-up raw veggies in the front of the fridge and fruit on the counter where youll see it. Have healthy dips on hand, like hummus, peanut butter, and low-fat yogurt. Load extra veggies into your sandwiches, pizzas, salads, soups, and omelets. Pureed veggies like butternut squash can thicken soup and other dishes and add nutrients to them. Mix cauliflower puree in with mashed potatoes I want to eat less fast food Try to reduce fast-food temptations. Take a different route to avoid seeing drive-through restaurants. Keep fruit or nuts with you to tide you over until you get home or to work. If you cant resist, choose lower-calorie options like grilled chicken or low-fat chili. And look for fruit or veggie options like a salad (watch the dressing) or plain baked potato as a side. Order regular or small sizes, and avoid value meals. Sip water or diet soda instead of sugary soda. I want to snack healthier Eat one more healthy snack a day. Instead of reaching for cookies or chips, enjoy a small handful of nuts or trail mix, or low-fat yogurt (watch for added sugar). Take advantage of fresh fruit in season. Citrus fruits like oranges are especially good because they take time to peel and eat. Eat pretzels or a few whole-wheat crackers with low-fat cheese. But only snack when youre really hungry -- not just bored or stressed -- and only eat one serving. Continued tomorrow..... Courtesy WebMD
