Changing Your Eating Patterns

Many of us have developed poor eating practices. Fine tune how you eat to your support your weight management efforts. The following tips are great for the entire family!

1 Eat at the table only
Stop eating on the run…in the car, on the street or in front of the tv. Eat at one place – the table!

2 Put your fork down between mouthfuls
Enjoy the tastes, textures, and aromas of what you’re eating. And, relax, give yourself a chance to feel full before your plate is empty!

3 Teach yourself when to eat
Structure your life so that you make time for eating 3 healthy meals and 3 healthy snacks a day.

4 Healthy doesn’t have to mean boring
Eating the same meals every day can get boring! And when you’re bored, you may be tempted to try high-fat, high calorie alternatives. Vary your menus – try new spices, new tastes & eat new textures.

5 Eat on a small plate
Fill the smaller plate, enjoy your food and never feel a moment’s guilt about overeating.
