CHOOSE water FIRST!

  >> Want the sugar cookie?  Sure thing!  Gulp 12-20 ounces of water FIRST! 

  >> Want a margarita?  Perfect!  Gulp 12-20 ounces (of water, not tequila ;)   first.  

BRING along a healthy option to share.  This is a kind gesture, while also guaranteeing a healthy option at your celebration or small gathering! The Veg Out Meal Plan Series offers a wide variety of amazing, easy, healthy dishes!

EAT MORE PLANTS. Envision dividing your plate in half, and loading up HALF of that plate with fresh fruits & veggies. The Veg Out Meal Plans are another super easy way to do this!

STAY active! Warmer weather is even more reason to move your body with intention.  Get a walk under your belt, a short hike, or run around and play an active game with the kids .  You will feel so much better by keeping your body moving!
