Tip Tuesday: If you are not a lover of going to the gym, many alternatives are cheaper and less crowded. Taking a walk or a hike in the cooler, beautiful mountains is a great option. You can take online classes or do lunges, crunches, and sit-ups in your living room. Tracy at BMI Utah offers a short at-home workout each month on our Facebook Support Group as well. No matter what you do, try to add some exercise to each day.

Tip Tuesday: Follow the half plate rule, which means half of your plate should be filled with vegetables. Vegetables are high in fiber, low in calories, and filled with nutrients. Making half your plate vegetables will lower your calorie intake and keep you full longer.

Tip Tuesday: Make healthy snacking easy. Keep quick, healthy snacks available in your house or at your office, so that if hunger strikes, the easiest choice is something healthy. For instance, keep cut-up peppers, celery, or carrot sticks available in your fridge. Or keep a pack of nuts or an apple in your desk. Make good choices easy!

Tip Tuesday: Eat the whole apple with its skin on. Whole fruits curb your appetite better than fruit juices and purées. One reason is that raw fruit has more fiber. Also chewing sends signals to your brain that you’ve eaten something substantial. Apple juice just adds calories without any satiety to your diet. Apple sauce is better, but the whole apple is best!

This is a great article on why it’s important to think about why you are eating.

Mindful eating is a huge topic involving many elements of attention and awareness from the decision to eat to the decision to stop and everything in between. For now, I'd like to focus a bit more on just a few of those things that impact our decision to start eating.

Tip Tuesday: Each time you want to eat, stop and ask yourself why you’re eating. If you’re eating because you are actually hungry, that is fine. However, if you’re eating because you’re tired, stressed, or upset, then you should reevaluate. To deal with these eating triggers, look for non-food alternatives such as a bath, calling a friend, or taking a walk.

Tip Tuesday: Protein is essential for a successful weight loss journey. Protein makes you feel and stay full for a long time. It lessens secretions of the hunger hormone gremlin, so you feel less hungry. Protein also takes a lot of energy to digest and helps increase your muscle mass, both of which help boost your metabolism.

Tip Tuesday: Eat only at the table. Don’t eat while you’re standing up, in the car, on the phone, or watching TV. As you limit eating to one specific spot, it will be easier to not be distracted and be conscious of how much you are eating. Not only does it help you slow down and eat less—if you do it with your family, it is a great way to strengthen your bonds.
