“food is fuel, eat to LIVE”
Taste the Rainbow
By eating colorfully, your body receives vitamins,
minerals, and antioxidants, which provide a wide
range of health benefits such as a healthier heart,
reduced risk of cancer, enhanced vision, higher
energy levels, and reduced blood pressure. The more
vibrantly colored the food is, the better for you!

for portion control
1.
Eat from a smaller plate, so less looks like
more on your plate.
2.
Eat packaged sweets (such as M&M’s)
from a pre-portioned ¼ cup, not the
package. You’re more likely to stop when
your bowl is empty, instead of mindlessly
eating the whole package.
Get inspired
Meal variety is crucial to continuing to make
healthy choices. Pinterest is a great source for
endless recipes and new spins on your tried
and true favorites.
3.
Don’t skip meals. If you’re starving after
having skipped a meal, you’re more likely
to eat a larger portion.
