Fast 10

It’s almost January and that usually means New Years Resolutions.  A very high percentage of resolutions made are related to taking care of ourselves. 

Here are 10 quick tips that really work.   Follow these and you WILL be healthier.

1. Never ever ever skip breakfast.

2. If you eat dairy, choose 1% or lower in fat.

3. Sit down while you eat.  Chew your food slowly.

4. Drink alcohol only on weekends, if at all.

5. Switch from regular soda to diet, and pass on high sugar energy drinks.

6. Instead of regular potatoes, switch to sweet potatoes or yams.

7.  Switch to olive oil instead of butter on bread or when cooking.

8. Eat off a smaller plate.

9. Ask for salad dressing on the side.  Dip your fork in the dressing before picking up your bite.

10. While dining out, split your entrée or ask for 1/2 to be boxed up before serving.

Our health always seems much more valuable after we lose it.
