Say Goodbye to Peer Pressure!

Even if you’ve been eating right on track, it may be hard to stay on track if your partner, coworkers, or friends don’t share your healthy eating habits. What to do? If your partner loves pizza, try ordering a pie that’s heavy on the veggies and light on the cheese-then supplement it with a side salad. Or, if your friends are having a girls or guys night out, suggest a restaurant that’s got healthy appetizer options, instead of the typical wings, mozzarella sticks and cheese dip. And at work, instead of Friday baked goods day, suggest a Friday “make it healthy” day, and swap in baked pears or apples with cinnamon or mini fruit-and-nut muffins for brownies and cookies. Instead of cocktails at happy hour, suggest a juice or smoothie at your local juice bar, grab a table outside and soak up the sun!
