Weight Management Essentials

I found this on Subway's website and I thought I would share it:

Eat 3 meals per day and small snacks. Skipping meals or only having 1-2 meals per day may cause the body to reduce the amount of calories it burns and lead to overeating at meals.

Eat slowly. This allows your body to tell more accurately when it is getting full and prevents overeating.

Load up on veggies and fruit. These ideal foods are low in fat and calories, packed with disease-fighting nutrients and filling.

Drink non-calorie beverages like water and diet soda instead of regular soda and fruit drinks. Regular sodas and fruit drinks add excess calories, only provide short-term energy and are not filling.

Eat balanced meals with a variety of foods. Your meal should be about 2/3 complex carbohydrate (bread, rice, pasta, veggies, fruit, etc.), moderate in protein and low in fat (not non-fat!). The right balance of food can energize you throughout the day and promote optimal health.

Don’t deprive yourself of your favorite foods. Totally omitting foods you really like can eventually cause you to overeat on those same foods. It is better to treat your self with small or moderate amounts of the foods you love.

Increase Physical Activity any way you can! Physical activity is an integral part of maintaining a healthy body weight. Even little things like taking stairs, parking your car farther away and walking at lunchtime can increase metabolism and help shed excess pounds.

Be Realistic. Don’t make drastic changes. Make small and gradual dietary changes that fit into your lifestyle and incorporate foods you will like to eat.

Focus on Eating for Good Health. Changing dietary habits with the goal solely to lose weight often results in unbalanced eating and short-term success. When your goal is to improve health the result is long term changes that will be sure to make you look and feel better.
