  • Plan your meals.
  • Prepare meals ahead of time and freeze in individual servings so you have a health go-to meal when you are too busy to cook.
  • Choose what you eat with intention (avoid mindless eating).
  • Eat frequent small meals.
  • Eat breakfast.
  • Drink plenty of water (especially before a meal).
  • Include some protein, fat, and “good” carbohydrate (vegetable, fruit, whole grains) with each meal.
  • Eat a healthy snack before attending a party.
  • “Budget” your food for the day when you know you have a social event to attend.
  • At a buffet, scope out the options and decide which foods to sample before you load up your plate.
  • Satisfy your craving for high-calorie foods by having a portion the size of a coin; sometimes a taste calms the urge.
  • Limit consumption of alcohol and caffeine.
  • Skip sodas (including the diet sodas) and energy drinks.
  • Eat foods that reduce stress (lean protein, nuts and seeds, berries, dark green vegetables, whole grains, legumes, beans, and dark chocolate (72% cocoa or higher).
  • Practice relaxation techniques, such as meditation and yoga.
  • Get plenty of sleep.
  • Keep up with your exercise routine.
  • Build a support network and call on their help when you need it.

I have been avoiding sugar ... per the crescent challenge in the NYT... less that 25 gm/day. It means eating a lot of vegetables. I feel so much better.
