DO's

Eat mixed nuts. They can help you boost your energy levels in the

afternoon.

Place healthy snacks in convenient places in your house.

According to experts, people are more likely to choose healthy

snack if they can easily reach it every time they need something

to eat.

Put your food on a plate or a bowl to avoid over eating.

Eat fruits, vegetables, and cheese.

Hydrate yourself by drinking at least 8 glasses of water each day.

DON'Ts

Do not wait too long to eat something. Keep in mind that one of

the causes of overeating is under eating.

Do not immediately eat light snacks without justifying it. Instead,

you must opt for healthier snacks.

Do not think that all veggies are healthy options. Keep in mind

that veggie chips are not healthier alternatives. Instead, choose

baked potatoes or fresh vegetables.
