If you've recently embarked on making dietary changes for your health, you may realize that it can be difficult at times, Summertime fun, including vacations, barbecues and plenty of cool treats, can often lead to barriers that get us off track.
Here are some tips to keep your diet on track all summer long.
Whether you’re aiming for a healthy weight or working to reach a fitness milestone, having a goal and tracking your progress are the keys to long-term success. Establishing a goal will create lasting motivation, and tracking progress along the way will help you maintain momentum.
Focus on two or three goals at a time. Great goals are “S.M.A.R.T.”, meaning they are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time limited.
It’s important to review your goals regularly to ensure that they are challenging but attainable. Remember small changes can have big impacts on your health!
If you have a sweet tooth and have a craving for a candy bar, try incorporating different types of berries into your snack pile. If savory foods are your favorite, try air-popped popcorn without the butter and excess salt or baked tortilla chips and fresh salsa!
Summertime is about kicking back and enjoying yourself. If you begin to notice a craving you just can't ignore, it's okay to enjoy the occasional small indulgence. Just remember to get back on track during your next meal.
If you know you’re attending a barbecue or camping trip, planning ahead may be the key to avoiding common diet traps.
