Healthy Food Chart

Easter and Passover are soon upon us and going into the holidays with a plan is what can help keep you on track with your weight loss.

Here are some tips that will help you when holiday temptation strikes:

• Make sure on the day of your holiday meal you eat breakfast - your meal should have some lean protein, whole grains and either fruits or vegetables. A vegetable omelet; yogurt, fruit and cereal; or peanut butter on whole grain crackers and a banana are all great choices.
• Drink your water. If you are getting bored with water add some lemon slices to give it some flavor.
• Snack on vegetables during the day if you get hungry. They are low in calories and high in fiber to keep you full without overdoing it.
• Exercise in the morning and take a walk after your meal.
• Decide what you will eat before you go to your holiday meal. Bring a dish that you know is healthy and fits into your weight loss plan so you can be sure you have something to eat.
• Don't take seconds until you are you sure you are truly hungry.
• If you do overindulge during your holiday meals just make sure you get right back on track the next day!
