Get all the vitamins and
nutrients your body needs, eating a wide variety of food on a daily
basis. Create your meals by combining at least one protein, one
carbohydrate and one vegetable or fruit.
Moderation comes first
It is very important that you
know when to stop and when to eat. It involves learning how much food is
enough and how much is too much. Because the feeling of fullness in the
stomach can take as long as twenty minutes to register to the brain, it
is important to regulate how much food is ingested before waiting for a
full feeling meal.
The more natural, the better!
Try to maintain a healthy diet
by buying fresh foods and avoiding processed foods. They tend to be rich
in fat, salt and calories.

Food labels are there to be
read
Make a habit of taking a look
at them while you are food shopping. They can tell you a lot from what
you are buying and can help you make wiser choices. Plus, you get to
learn more about the nutrition and ingredients of the food you eat.
Eat frequently
Eating 5 to 6 meals a day
promotes weight control and increased metabolism. Skipping meals causes
you become too hungry, which leads to overeating when you do eat.
