Eating Well Made Easy

Here are a few ways to be healthier, and they’re simple so anyone can give them a try!

One of my friends gave me this tip: We all love chips, right? Well, instead of getting the big bags and eating the whole thing when we’re curled up on the couch, get the small bags so you’ll just stop eating when you’re done with the bag.

Try not to drink as much soda. When someone offers you a Mountain Dew, take water instead. You can even go for flavored water if plain water is too boring for you.

Go to Subway instead of McDonald’s. For a limited time, you can get a foot long sub for $5. Eat one half right away, and save the rest for later. Then you get two meals for $5, and you also spread out the calories. How awesome!

Eat slowly, and only eat until you’re full. When you eat slowly, your body has more time to catch up and let you know that you’re full. It’s a good habit to get yourself into.

Cut back on snacks, and switch to healthy options. Instead of having four cookies, for example, try going down to just three. Also, instead of going to the vending machine for a snack every day, bring fruit from home. You’ll also save money this way.

Surround yourself with healthy options instead of junk food. My dad always buys grapes and puts them in a bowl in the fridge. I always open the fridge and pantry, even if I’m not hungry, so it’s good to have something healthy to grab.
