START WITH ONLY 1-2 CHANGES IN YOUR DAILY ROUTINE... For example, look at your beverages! Those can be surprising sources of extra calories due to sugar content. Sodas, coffee drinks, juices, coconut water, and even chain smoothies can be high carb/high calorie. Trade out those hidden calories for seltzer water or try a fruity kombucha (a much lower carb treat). Track your overall water consumption too -if you are hydrated you'll be less tempted to grab calories in drinks or random snacks. |
What snack is most challenging for you on a daily basis? Keep less of it on hand or assign it to certain days of the week (rather than every day). FE, my husband LOVES chips and salsa. He'll grab it when he gets home from work - partly because he walks through the kitchen. It's partly habit, partly reward, and partly hunger BUT if there aren't chips or salsa on hand, he doesn't eat those extra 100-200 calories that day. A popular guideline on food choices is "80/20". Eat 80% healthy and 20% less healthy - this offers some leeway to enjoy social events and the occasional treat without blowing your daily nutrition. |
