You should never eat until you’re too full


Chew your food…digestion begins in the mouth


Buy your children healthy snacks so you won’t be tempted by unhealthy options


Try not to snack while cooking-put gum in your mouth or something to keep yourself from eating too much

Make sure you hydrate with water during your workout


Try sticking to water only unless you drink milk with your meal plan


Some water is in fruits, green veggies and soups

Coffee is ok in the mornings, but drink an extra glass of water for each cup of coffee…coffee is a diuretic


Only add milk to your coffee…no creamer
