Renee’s top 8 Healthy Eating Strategies

1. I drink water as soon as I wake up and continue all day. If I have a craving, I always drink water first and see if it passes.
2. I plan my meals for the week every Sunday. I also try to choose different foods that will surprise my family and I shop for these meals.
3. I use seasonal foods and buy from my local farmers and markets whenever possible.
4. I don’t forget to eat. I eat bigger protein type breakfasts and good sized lunches.
5. When I dine out, I order smart choices and usually bring half home for leftovers to eat the next day.
6. I am empowered by my choices. I focus on putting in a lot of great veggies and power foods so if I feel like a frozen yogurt with my son, I have it guilt free.
7. I cook to have left overs.  I’ve learned from the awesome mothers before me how to use leftovers wisely. I don’t understand those who throw it all away.
8. I always travel via car, plane or train with water and healthy snacks. Always.
