• Eat breakfast every day. People who eat breakfast are less likely to overeat later in the day.

  • Choose whole grains more often. Try whole-wheat breads and pastas, oatmeal, brown rice, or bulgur.

  • Select a mix of colorful vegetables each day. Vegetables of different colors provide different nutrients.

  • Have low-fat, low-sugar snacks on hand at home, at work, or on the go, to combat hunger and prevent overeating.

  • At restaurants, eat only half your meal and take the rest home.
  • Visit museums, the zoo, or an aquarium. You and your family can walk for hours and not realize it.
