5 Tips for Eating Smarter

Slow down!
Eating slowly gives your brain time to get the message that your stomach is full.

Brake for fruit.
Instead of making room for a big dessert, satisfy your sweet tooth with some fruit.

Fill up on fiber.
You donit have to have small portions of everything. Pile on fiber-rich veggies and whole grains.

Can the soda.
A 12-ounce soft drink can contain 13 teaspoons of sugar. Go for water instead.

Treat yourself.
Cookies? Cheesy pizza? Everyone has a favorite. Eat a little, once in a while. It will remain a fun treat instead of turning into a nasty habit.
