10 steps to healthier living

1. Choose baked or grilled items instead of fried, such as:
· Baked fish instead of fried
· Baked chicken instead of fried
· Baked potato instead of French fries
· Pretzles or baked chips instead of regular chips

2. Choose broth-based soups instead of creamy or cheesy soups

3. Ask for dressings and sauces “on the side” (mayo, sour cream, salad dressing, etc.)

4. Choose water or 100% fruit juice instead of sodas

5. Don’t arrive starving. Make sure you are snacking in between meals so you don’t overeat at mealtime!

6. When ordering large entrees, eat half and take the other half home to eat 3-4 hours later.

7. Limit yourself to 1-2 pieces of bread and 10-15 tortilla chips when eating at an Italian or Mexican spot

8. Choose tomato based sauces instead of creamy sauces

9. Choose skim or 2% milk in your coffee and tea drinks
