- Purchase a small lunch box or cooler if necessary. This is a great way to avoid a stop at a fast food place. Keeping it stocked with healthy options like yogurt, fresh fruits or carrots and hummus can help you stick to your planned meal or to control your hunger until you are able to get home for your meal.
- Keep healthy, convenient snacks such as pre-portioned nuts or fruit in your purse/briefcase or car.
- Make sure to eat throughout the day. Don't skip meals. Grab a healthy snack if you're feeling hungry When you are very hungry, you're more likely to make bad food choices.
2) Stop drinking soda
- Aim for 64 oz of clear, sugar-free liquids daily. You can try: water, water flavored with herbs and fruit, unsweetened iced tea or unsweetened decaf coffee.
- If this step proves to be difficult, start off slowly. Begin decreasing the amount of soda you consume by replacing a few drinks here and there with a healthier option (like water or unsweetened tea). Continue substituting other drinks for your soda until you are able to eliminate soda entirely.
3) Drive a different route
- Check out an online map. Many programs allow you to put in your starting and ending location and give you a variety of route options.
- If you can't bypass a fast food place, try putting up a note in your car with a positive saying. "You can can do it!" or "Focus on your goal!" are great positive sayings that can keep you driving right on by.
