Weight Management Tips:

These simple solutions can help you get inspired and stay on track with your weight management goals. Nature's BodyCare products can help you reach these weight loss and maintenance goals, but the long term solution is changing the habits that have made you overweight in the first place.

• Make the Right Choices:  By eating foods that are high in fiber and/or protein, you'll be able to manage your hunger. Since thirst can often be disguised as hunger, drink at least six glasses of water per day to stay hydrated.
• Be Prepared:  Another helpful tip is to pre-pack snacks to take with you during a busy day and then eat them two to three hours before a meal to prevent overeating at mealtime. Try to avoid skipping meals, which can lead to food cravings and overeating.
• Team Up:  Stay encouraged by teaming up with friends to lose weight.  If you don't have a lot of time to exercise, aim for 10 minutes of activities several times a day.
• Write it Down:  Starting a food journal is a great way to note how much you eat and when you eat it. This will help you to identify unhealthy habits. There are several online food and calorie counters that are extremely helpful in this.
•   Clean out Your Cupboards:  Getting rid of all crackers and chips and unhealthy foods in your cupboards starts you on the right path to avoiding binging on unhealthy foods.
• If you Don't Buy it, you Won't Eat it!:  This is soooo key. Make a list and stick to it. Use the money you would have spent on chips and crackers and other indulgences...(ice cream!) and spend it on fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, and low cal low sodium cheeses.
• There are so many good choices out there, you will be surprised if you take the time to learn to eat whole grain foods, cut out processed foods, and cook from scratch as much as possible.
• Remember, you are stronger than you think you are, and you CAN do this!
