MAKE HEALTHY CHOICES

Choose complex carbohydrates like whole wheat bread, brown rice, popcorn, or sweet potatoes instead of white bread, white rice, chips, and white potatoes.

Vary your protein choices. Aim for plant-based or lean protein, such as chicken, beans, turkey, or eggs.

SMALL CHANGES, BIG IMPACT

When taking steps to achieve a healthy lifestyle, start small. It can be overwhelming, difficult, and discouraging to change many behaviors at once, especially if you are unsuccessful. Try one change at a time and give yourself time to adjust. Have a new goal every week or every month, and set yourself up for success. Make a single substitution, try a new food, or maybe add a veggie to your meals.
