So here's a recipe for healthy eating.
It only has five ingredients.
And they're already within your reach.
Your doctor may have other recommendations for you.
Ingredient #1: Watch what you eat, but don't deny yourself.
Eat foods you like, but watch your portion size.
If a food is high in fat or calories, you don't have to cut it out completely.
Instead, eat a small amount.
Ingredient #2: Eat more fruits and veggies.
And then eat some more fruits and veggies.
It's really hard to have too many.
Ingredient #3: Eat breakfast.
If you skip breakfast, that doughnut in the break room may be hard to resist.
Ingredient #4: Choose drinks with little or no added sugar.
Sweet drinks, like sodas, juices, sports drinks, and sweetened coffee drinks, are all packed with sugar and calories.
Water is filling, and your body needs it.
If you want more flavor, add a slice of lemon or lime.
Ingredient #5: Plan meals ahead of time.
And stock up on healthy foods you enjoy.
This helps keep your healthy eating goals within reach.
That's it. Five ingredients.
Watch what you eat, but don't deny yourself.
Eat more fruits and veggies.
Eat breakfast.
Choose drinks with little or no added sugar.
Plan meals ahead of time.
