Eating Healthier This Year- Two Tips to Help


I want to learn to say "No"

I

Stay strong when it comes to healthy eating. Ask for special requests like "light on the cheese, no sauce, salad not fries or chips". Your coworker might pressure you to try her homemade treats. Remember that every bite adds up, so it's important not to give in over and over. Explain why you're saying no if you want to -- or just politely decline. You don't owe people an explanation, but you owe yourself good health.




 I want to snack less at work

Get unhealthy snacks out of your office -- or at least out of plain sight. You'll eat less if you don't have food within easy reach. If you tend to graze mindlessly at work, don't keep food at your desk. Keep it at least 6 feet away from where you sit. The distance makes you think each time you grab a bite. Take time for a real lunch break, away from your desk.
