Weight loss tips:

1. Eat healthy snacks between meals such as:

• Fruits

• Vegetables

• Nuts

• Yogurt

• Granola Bars

2. Avoid overeating

• Night snacking is very common. Many people feel the need to eat something sweet before bed. This is a habit that will take time to change, but it is not impossible to do. When you feel the need to snack during the night, eat fruits that are filling such as apples with a glass of water. This will decrease the sugar cravings and will also provide you with a better sleep.

• When you eat and feel full. Do not try to finish the food that is left on the plate. Take it to go or put it in a bowl for later. If you are the type of person that does not eat left overs or does not like to take food to go, try ordering or making foods that are smaller in portion size.

• Always make sure that your plate looks like the MyPlate. Half fruits/vegetables, 1/4th carbohydrates, and 1/4th protein. This will increase your fruit and vegetable consumption, make you feel fuller, and decrease your calories.

3. Drinks plenty of water

-The human body is mostly water and it is important to maintain the water balance in our bodies to keep out organs functioning properly and be healthy.

-Consuming over 36oz of water a day can help you manage your weight by making you feel fuller and also keeps you hydrated.
