Spring is almost here which means it’s time for new beginnings! Many people want to improve their eating habits, but are not sure where to start. From going ultra-organic to the Dinosaur Diet, the options are endless, but what really works? Sylvia Meléndez-Klinger, chef and registered dietitian, gives viewers the tips they need to get started on the path to balanced and healthy eating.
Sylvia talks about:
• Mindful Eating – Pay attention to what you eat by eliminating distractions
• Portion Control – No need to cut out your favorite chips, just eat smaller portions
• Keep the Scale Steady: Low- and no-calorie beverages are effective to help cut calories, control hunger and maintain body weight.
• Substitute – Swap that chocolate cake for something sweet like fruit
• Protein Packed Meals – Help build up strength for exercise
• Stay Hydrated – Thirst is often mistaken for hunger—the reason it is important to stay well hydrated throughout the day.
