Healthy eating is a
goal that we all share,
and self-care is the first
step to get you there.
So here's a look at
how to get started.
- So if you start by taking
these steps for self-care first,
that sets you up to be
much more successful
in the long term with
your nutrition plan.
- [Jane] First,
Stephanie recommends
making sure you're getting
a full night's sleep
every night of the week.
- When it comes to nutrition,
it's very difficult to make
good nutrition decisions
when you're tired.
If you're exhausted,
are you gonna
go home and cook a nice dinner,
or are you gonna order a pizza?
So make sure that
you plan to get
eight hours of
sleep every night.
- [Jane] Second, cut down
on the stress in your life,
by taking time for
yourself every day.
- Stress really interferes
with our bodies' ability
to tell us when we're
hungry and full,
so giving yourself time
to de-stress a little bit
helps you to be more
in tune with your body
and really recognize what
your body really needs.
- [Jane] And finally,
Stephanie suggests
setting boundaries in your life.
- It's so easy to over-commit.
Sometimes we really just
need that time for ourself,
whether it's time to relax,
whether it's time to even
do something like meal prep
and help you to
feel better overall.
- There you have it!
Some great tips to help
you lay the foundation
for your long-term success
with your healthy eating goals.
