Eat on a schedule: Have a meal or snack at least every four to five hours.
Mix and match any of the meal and snack options. Repeat favorite meals/snacks as often as you’d like.
Plan your menu the night before, so you’re armed with a game plan.
Drink water throughout the day and keep a water bottle on hand for continuous sipping.
Enjoy up to one glass of wine each day along with a meal.
Stick with “legal eats” when watching TV or a movie: light popcorn or veggies only.
Enjoy unlimited amounts of non-starchy vegetables (carrots, tomatoes, peppers, celery, cucumbers, etc.) at any point in the day.
Indulge in one optional “daily cheat.” It could be a small handful of French fries or two bites of anything that looks delicious.
