November 7: Cut unhealthy snacks

[View]

"Give up the chips, chocolate and cookies for a week," says Sue Mah. Satisfy your snack cravings with healthy choices every day instead. Fresh fruit and veggies are good options any time. So is a handful of nuts or a bowl of whole-grain cereal with low-fat milk.

As part of this challenge, think about what makes you reach for unhealthy snacks. Is it stress? Fatigue? Lack of time? Habit? Look at the reasons you succumb to cravings and come up with some strategies to counteract them. Try bringing a week's worth of healthy snacks to work every Monday, eat meals at regular times, and keep certain foods out of the house altogether to avoid temptation.

"Don’t fall off the exercise wagon over the holidays," says Bruce Krahn. This week, sit down with your calendar and schedule regular fitness sessions for the rest of the month. Even if you can't exercise as often as you usually do, a minimum of three 30-minute workouts a week will keep your stress levels down and your metabolism going.Take the Challenge View All
