Reduce Calories

• Many diners overeat without meaning to. A part of eating smart is knowing how many calories you have ingested however, we are not suggesting counting calories. You can reduce your calorie intake by doing the following:

• Drink some water before you begin to eat. Drinking water before meals helps provide a sense of being full so you are more likely to eat less.

• Don’t overeat. Eat in moderation and only eat when you are hungry. Make sure to check calorie content and serving size

• Eat more fruits and vegetables. They are packed with nutrients but most fruits and vegetables have a low calorie count.

• For those of us with a sweet tooth the prospect of reducing sugar can be a bit daunting but it is quite doable. There are many reasons to avoid foods with high sugar content and diabetes is on the top of the list.

• Added sugar such as high fructose corn syrup and sucrose contain empty calories that provide no nutritional value and helps damage your teeth.

• Use less sugar when cooking or baking or substitute sugar with natural sweeteners like honey.
