Follow these tips to stay on track with your healthy eating plan.
- Do not skip meals. Skipping meals may cause your metabolism to slow down or lead you to overeat at your next meal.
- To lower your risk for chronic diseases, such as coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes, select high-fiber foods like beans, fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain breads and cereals.
- Choose lean beef, turkey breast, fish, or chicken with the skin removed over fattier meats.
- Have three daily servings of vitamin D–fortified dairy products, like low-fat or fat-free milk, yogurt, or cheese. You can also take a daily calcium and vitamin D supplement.
- Choose foods fortified with vitamin B12.
- Keep healthy snacks like dried apricots, whole-wheat crackers, peanut butter, low-fat cheese, and low- sodium soup on hand. Stay away from snacks that are high in fat and sugar, like cake, candy, chips, and soda.
- Drink plenty of water or water-based fluids.
