Add Variety

Eating the same things over and over again can lead to boredom. And when we get bored, we tend to reach for the sugar and fat to satisfy our cravings. No wonder variety is called the spice of life.

Strive to incorporate variety into your daily routine. One way is to try a new recipe at least once a week. Start a "Lunch Bunch" at work, where members take turns bringing in a healthy lunch for the group. Healthy lunch clubs are an excellent way to experience foods that are new and different and also good for you. Share recipes, and make sure you know ahead of time about any food preferences or allergies that group members may have.

Here's to good choices!
