Eat healthfully Feel great<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

Rich sauces, fried foods and sugary desserts taste great and can be hard to resist. However, if you eat too much of these kinds of foods that are high in fat and calories, you may feel sluggish and guilty. The extra pounds can build up while your energy level goes down. Making a few healthful changes to the way you eat\u00a0can make a big difference in how you feel.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Create a food diary<\/h3>\n

Take an honest look at your eating habits. Each day, write\u00a0down everything you eat and drink. Be sure to include all those quick nibbles. At the end of the week, your diary\u00a0might surprise you.<\/p>\n

Tips for healthful eating<\/h3>\n

Is it really hunger? Don\u2019t eat out of habit, boredom or just\u00a0because food is near.<\/p>\n

Try following these tips:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Control portion size <\/strong>Take the focus off how much. Put it\u00a0on variety. Small amounts of several foods can keep your\u00a0meals fun. Use a smaller plate to limit how much you take.<\/li>\n
  • Eat slowly <\/strong>Savor flavors and smells. Notice the visual\u00a0appeal of your meal. It can take 20 minutes for your\u00a0stomach to feel full. The faster you eat, the more likely \u00a0you are to overeat.<\/li>\n
  • Skip seconds<\/strong> Make it a rule not to take second helpings.\u00a0Remember that tomorrow will bring good things to eat, too.<\/li>\n
  • Limit high-fat<\/strong>, high-calorie desserts. Try to eat dessert half\u00a0as often as you do now. Or, if you need something sweet,\u00a0try fruit as a dessert instead.<\/li>\n
  • Don\u2019t skip meals:<\/strong> When you come to the table starved,\u00a0you\u2019re more likely to overeat. Plus, you\u2019re more likely to eat the wrong foods.<\/li>\n
  • Never say never:<\/strong> Don\u2019t try to always avoid your favorite\u00a0foods. But, plan on when and how much you\u2019ll have. Or, you might give in to sudden cravings.<\/li>\n
  • Don\u2019t sabotage yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0There always seems to be a\u00a0<\/span>perfect excuse for having too much \u201cjust this once.\u201d\u00a0Maybe you\u2019re celebrating a special occasion, such as\u00a0a birthday or holiday. Don\u2019t let these occasions stand\u00a0between you and your health.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Adopt healthful habits<\/h2>\n

    Think carefully before you eat:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Limit foods with full-fat cheese or cream sauces and mayo.<\/li>\n
    • Choose meats and fish that are grilled or broiled rather\u00a0than fried.<\/li>\n
    • Eat steamed vegetables. Limit butter, margarine or cream\u00a0sauces.<\/li>\n
    • If you use salad dressing, use a low-fat one.<\/li>\n
    • Avoid empty calories like those found in sugar-sweetened\u00a0beverages and alcohol.<\/li>\n
    • Drink an adequate amount of water each day.<\/li>\n
    • When snacking, choose unsalted, whole-grain pretzels;\u00a0air-popped popcorn; low-fat yogurt or fresh fruit.<\/li>\n
    • Try not to eat anything close to bedtime.<\/li>\n
    • Remember, \u201cfat-free<\/strong><\/em>\u201d doesn\u2019t always mean\u201ccalorie-free.\u201d<\/li>\n
    • Limit take-out meals or fast food.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
