Eating Healthy helps you start getting in shape fast

The quickest way to lose weight is getting plenty of exercise AND eating healthy. There are many easy choices we can make throughout the day to improve our eating habits.

Here's a few simple ideas:

Grab an apple, an orange or any other fruit as you head out the door.

Pack baby carrots, nuts, or dried fruit for a snack.

Take whole wheat crackers, lean meats and low-fat milk along with you.

Try taking leftovers and eating on the way.

Munch on veggies, pretzels, or popcorn.

Try a grilled chicken sandwich and a side salad.

Split an order of fries.

Leave off the mayonnaise, sauce and spreads when ordering a sandwich.

Instead of cheese and heavy salad dressings, add fiber-rich beans and peas to your salad meals. Canned chick peas or other beans are a delicious addition to a salad.


Share a rich dessert with a friend.
