Building a Balanced Plate and Mindful Snacking Habits
Food comes first. Here is how to build a plate and a snack plan you can repeat.
Build the plate
- Fill half with vegetables and fruit.
- Add a quarter of whole grains.
- Add a quarter of protein.
- Drink water with your meal.
Plan your snacks
Decide on snacks ahead of time. Fruit, nuts or yogurt are simple choices, and a planned snack feels calmer than a rushed one.
Slow down
- Put your fork down between bites.
- Sit at a table when you can.
- Stop when you feel comfortably full.
Where the gummy fits
A gummy is an add-on, not a stand-in for meals.* Take it before your meal and keep the routine simple.
