Healthy Eating and Fitness
The first step to healthy eating and fitness involves behavioral changes through food logs, food diaries and calorie counters. As the saying goes, eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper. A big balanced breakfast with fiber will start your day with energy to burn because it increases your metabolism and helps keep you feeling full longer. Also, eating slowly helps you not only enjoy your food but also gives you time to enjoy the people with whom you are sharing your meal. If you find yourself unable to restrict your caloric intake, keep a food diary and calorie counter and ask for half your meal to be boxed before they bring you the meal.
