As you plan for the year ahead, whether it’s managing your weight, taking better care of your heart or simply drinking more water, every start is a good start.

5 Tips to Successful New Year…

1.  Eat breakfast daily. People who eat breakfast are more successful at losing weight and sticking to a diet.
2.  Add just one fruit or veggie or veggie serving daily. Once you’re comfortable, add an extra serving until you reach 8 to 10 a day.
3. Plan to eat healthier. Focus on planning healthy foods and activities rather than framing your diet around things you should not have. Starting with a shopping list and weekly plan of meal prep is a great place to start.
4. Get some sleep! Lack of sleep can increase hunger and affect the body’s metabolism, which may make it difficult to maintain weight loss or lose weight.
5. Resolve to exercise more often. Sneak in three 10-minute sessions if you can’t fit in all 30 minutes at one time –look for opportunities to be more active!

Wishing you the happiest and best this year can offer.
