Quick and easy Mind and Behavior Change TIPS that can keep you on track on a new healthy lifestyle:

• Be realistic and don’t expect too much too soon or less you will set yourself up for disappointment.
• Learn to be assertive with yourself and others and protect your new choices. Remember you don’t have to justify to others why you are doing things differently now.
• Avoid negativity. You want encouragement (especially at the beginning) not Nay Sayers.
• Visualize yourself at your desired goal very often.
• Imagine how you will feel EMOTIONALLY once you have earned SUCCESS!
• Be assertive with your server at restaurants and ask for healthier substitutions
• Eat blueberries; they are rich in fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants.
• Don’t drink your calories: A large 32 fl oz cup of Hi-C Orange Lava burst equals 350 calories.
• Chew sugar free gum or brush you teeth before cooking a meal.
• Eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every day.
• Eat without distraction. Studies have shown that people who eat while doing something else tend to eat more.
• Do your own cooking. That way you know exactly what goes into your food.
• DON’T skip meals.
• Try to take a walk or engage in some activity after dinner.
• Avoid the bread, butter and rolls with your meal.
• Add weights to your exercise routine. They help build muscle tissue and burn more calories.
