N—NAVIGATE THE MENU. If you're eating out, make healthier choices by reading the menu properly. If it says steamed, boiled, roasted stir fried, grilled etc it is healthier than sautéed in butter, rich creamy sauce, battered, or deep fried. Ask for your vegetables without butter.
O—OPT FOR THE 10 MIN RULE. Even if you don't feel like exercising, hit the garden, yard, the stairs at home wherever. Get moving for at least 10 minutes. If you still feel uninspired to move, give yourself permission to quit.
P—PUSH YOURSELF. To try at least one new fruit or vegetable each week. You'll be treating yourself to a new treat sensation….and you'll be helping expand your culinary repertoire in a healthy low-calorie way.
Q—QUIT THE CLEAN PLATE CLUB. Stop eating once you are satisfied. It is a habit we have formed from childhood to finish up everything on our plates. Listen to your stomach and when you are satisfied stop eating. This alone will help you lose weight.
R—REWARD YOURSELF. If you are doing well on your programme treat yourself. Remember treats don't always have to be food. Have a manicure or massage or buy yourself something small and nice. If it is food use the low calorie alternative to your favourite food like Weight Watchers ice cream.
