Tips for a week

I threw together a pile of tips I have learned over the years of trying to be healthy. These are eating tips, I will do exercise tips another day.
1. Eat first thing in the morning, a healthy breakfast to get your metabolism going. If you waite too long between your meals, your body thinks you are starving it so it holds on to your fat. That is why it is recommended to eat 6 small meals a day... to keep the metabolism going!
2. Drink ice cold water. It burns calories.
3. If you feel extra hungry, drink a glass of water. Sometimes our minds tell us we are hungry, when really we just need a drink. Chewing a piece of gum also curbs hunger.
4. If you make a bad food choice at one point or another in the day, make a decision to not let it ruin your day. Do better at your next snack or meal.
5. Eat your fruits or veggies first when you sit down for a meal, that way you fill up on those and eat less of the foods that might not be as healthy.
6. If you eat, don't lay down or go to bed for atleast 30 minutes. You don't just want the food to sit in your belly.
7. If you are craving something sweet, try a cup of fat free hot chocolate with low fat milk.
