You want to lose weight, feel and look good.   Basically you want to take better care of yourself, but that means you have to be willing to make some changes.

This seems so easy when other people are going it and it can be, but how can you make it well doable.

We are going to be sharing great tips and tricks to make it easy for you to get in better shape and eat better, in this new feature called #SensibleSnacks.

In this segment, we are going to share great items we find that will make it easy for you to take control of your life and your health one step at a time.

Let’s start at the beginning.

You are what you eat.  So, are you in good shape or are you in trouble?

If this topic has your squirming around and rethinking your last trip to the mall, or your desert selections rest assured we are all friends here and we are here to help.  Think about how you are eating now and then let’s make some small adjustments.  

So here goes our fail proof way to help you turn things around.

Step One – Eat More Fruits And Vegetables – Make Them Portable

Fruits and Vegetables are everywhere, but it is a lot easier to make BETTER CHOICES when you have them in arms reach.  Think about fruits and vegetables that pack well and are portable.  

When you have them nearby you are more likely to eat them.  When they are hidden on a shelf or someplace you have to look for them, chances of you pulling them out is pretty small.  When we are hungry we look for things we can get to right away, and convenience is an important part of your success.

Step 2:  Get Rid of the Junk

If this is a change for you do yourself a favor..clean out the refrigerator and the kitchen and get rid of all of those goodies that you think you can enjoy without losing control.

When you are stressed, dealing with time constraints or hurt, you are more likely to turn to those good and faithful snacks full of fat and high calories, that have never let you down in a crunch.  

You will smile now, and cry later!

Step 3 – Commit To Adding At Least One Extra Serving of Fruits and Vegetables Everyday

Changes are easier to accept if they are gradual.  So, do yourself a favor and commit to adding one extra fruit and vegetable to your diet everyday.  

Think of  adding a banana, an apple, a carrot or a cucumber to your diet everyday, just adding one more serving everyday will make a big difference in how you feel and ultimately how you look.  Making this small change is so much easier that making a ton of changes you can’t stick to all at once.
