Morning
- Drink more water first thing in the morning.
- Make sure your eating breakfast.
- Try squeezing in more activity like walking/hiking before work (start wearing a pedometer).
Afternoon
- Workout at lunch time if you’re able, and if not, take a walk.
- Add more protein to your lunch and avoid bread and fried foods.
- Stand more at work rather than sitting for 6-8 hrs (make a standing work station).
Evening
- Make dinner your smallest meal of the day.
- No eating within three hours of going to bed.
- Cut down on your screen and TV time.
Finally, throughout the Morning/Afternoon/Evening watch your added sugar and salt intake – this one simple tip will pay back big dividends in no time! If you’re a female, work on consuming <100 calories a day of added sugar (25 grams/day) and if you’re a male, work on taking in <150 calories a day (38 grams/day).
