I want to say first thanks for the reminder of having to get into a swimsuit in a month! So thank you Jayson for these 5 great tips. I can always eat more veggies. I love to munch on carrots, broccoli though-hum not to sure if it really agrees with me. My weakness….definitely carbs. The downfalls of growing up in an Italian household, thanks grandma. Although, with the whole grain option and in moderation I think I can do it. I do have to give my grandma credit for the love of walnuts, almonds, etc. I remember as a kid my siblings and I would fight over the nutcracker and then for our favorite nuts. I still like to get nuts in the shells-I don’t like the salt they put on the nuts when they come shelled, oh and the fun of cracking them (does this help burn calories ; ) ). I love to eat so when I read “eat more meals” I got excited. Then I read “small portions” and got sad again. Well to lose weight I guess that it really makes sense. I would rather eat small bits all day than three big meals anyway. Thanks again for the tips.

I do eat pretty healthy but for me it’s all about portion control and stopping when I’m full. I do have trouble with that. Also having hypothyroidism, I should only eat 3 meals a day. I love reading every article and all the helpful tips. Thank you Healthy Minute.
