Guide to Sensible Eating
Everyone talks about “eating sensibly”, but there is a lot of confusion about what eating sensibly really means. We all enjoy our three servings of Cambridge each day to meet 100% of our nutritional needs, but many of us need help in learning how to eat sensibly.
Simply follow the suggested tips and take your three “Cambridge’s” a day. Now you’re on the right path to feeling and looking better.
- Eat only when you are hungry
- Eat foods low in fat; avoid or limit high fat items
- Eat a variety of different colored fruits and vegetables (4-5 servings of each per day)
- Minimize food choices, which consist mainly of empty calories, such as candy, alcohol, rich desserts etc.
- If you plan on snacking try the Cambridge Nutrition Bars, fruit, pretzels, and bagels rather than on chips and high calorie snacks
- Drink at least eight to ten 8-ounce glasses of water a day, the more the better.Eat slowly for maximum satisfaction.
- Limit cheeses, heavy gravies, sauces, pastries, ice cream and oils
- Stock your refrigerator and cupboards with foods you can eat
- Enjoy bread or rolls in moderation without the butter; try a low calorie fruit spread
- Limit yourself to one helping at meals
- Choose low-fat items in restaurants
- Skip the cocktails; if you must have only one glass of wine
- Ask your server to make low-fat menu suggestions
- Select poultry and fish dishes instead of red meats
- Have pasta with a red sauce rather than a rich white sauce
- Order a salad instead of an entree
- Eat half of what is served; take the rest home for another meal
- Skip desserts or choose fresh fruit
- Let your friends know you’re on a program and need their support
Remember, if you eat more than your body needs, – you will gain weight. So, make wise choices and then enjoy the foods you eat because eating is a pleasurable experience!
