Helpful Tips for Ongoing Weight Management
Making smarter snack choices is just one way to look and feel your best. Here are more ways you can keep your weight management goals in check:
- Divide your plate. At mealtime, manage your portions by dividing your plate. Fill half of your plate with veggies or salad, but steer clear of fatty dressings. One-quarter should be lean protein — fish, chicken or beef — grilled, baked or poached. And the last quarter should be starch — but watch the butter or oil. It's easy to remember at home or in a restaurant.
- Plan ahead. Curb the afternoon munchies by planning ahead. Tempted to hit that vending machine? Have some string cheese, a Special K Granola Bar or a handful of nuts ready to help keep you satisfied. Keep them in your car, desk drawer and purse for a quick snack.
- Start journaling. Keep a food journal noting what you eat, how much, when and where. Journaling can help hold you accountable for what you eat and makes you think twice before overindulging. Plus, you can track and feel good about your progress.
Special K Granola Bars can be found now in the wholesome snack aisles of grocery stores nationwide. For more information about new Special K Granola Bars, visit http://www.specialk.com.
