- Take a look at your plate...
are most of the foods plant-based ? Fill your plates with generous servings
of a variety of veggies, fruits, beans, and grains.
- Slice ripe peaches, bananas
and/or berries on your whole grain cereal.
- Add a variety of veggies to
your salads for good health, exciting flavour and texture. Try leafy lettuce
with chopped red cabbage, ripe tomatoes, shredded carrots, chickpeas or
kidney beans, diced red peppers and broccoli florets.
- Try a new produce item with
each trip to the supermarket. Become acquainted with mangoes, yams, jicama,
leeks, kale, and many others.
- Substitute whole wheat flour
for part of refined white flour in many recipes.
- Keep fit with a variety of
activities you enjoy to make a exercise a lifelong habit and maintain your
weight. Try walking, cycling, dancing or gardening.
- Take a brisk walk for 10
minutes several times each day.
- Instead of alcohol, enjoy a
refreshing mix of fruit juice and seltzer. Add a few chunks of fresh fruit.
- Decrease portion sizes of
meat and poultry. Remove half the filling from an over-stuffed deli
sandwich. Update a favorite casserole by changing the meat-to-vegetable
ratio: chicken and pasta casserole with broccoli can become pasta and
broccoli casserole with chicken.
- Cut down on fat... remove
skin from poultry, use little fat in cooking, and try low fat or nonfat
dairy products. Remember that low fat and nonfat products are not
necessarily low in calories, so limit portions.
- Instead of salt, experiment
with herbs and spices such as rosemary, oregano, basil, turmeric, or chives
for added flavor.
- Refrigerate foods quickly to
prevent spoilage.
- Grill out only occasionally,
and do not eat charred foods.
