PLAN FOR SUCCESS

Making changes to how you eat and move can feel like a big step — especially if you’re used to doing things a certain way or don’t cook often. But you don’t need to do everything at once. Taking small steps over time gives you the best chance of long-term success. Here are our top tips for getting started.

SET ACHIEVABLE GOALS

Start simple. Focus on one change at a time:

1

REDUCE SUGAR THIS WEEK

2

TRY CUTTING BACK ON UNHEALTHY FATS THE NEXT

3

ADD 10 MINUTES OF GENTLE MOVEMENT TO YOUR DAY

Build slowly — and give yourself time to rest and recover along the way. Every small change adds up. You’re already on the right track.

PLAN YOUR MEALS

Meal planning helps you stay on course — and makes healthy choices easier.

1

PLAN OUT ALL YOUR MEALS FOR THE WEEK

2

FOLLOW THE RECIPES AND PORTION GUIDES

3

PLAN TO AVOID TAKEAWAY OR PROCESSED SNACKS

Even small, everyday swaps can make a big difference.

SET UP A SUPPORT SYSTEM

You’re more likely to stick with changes if you feel supported. That could mean:

1

TALKING TO A FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER ABOUT YOUR GOALS

2

JOINING A GROUP OR PROGRAM

3

READING STORIES FROM OTHERS WHO’VE BEEN THROUGH IT TOO

MANAGE STRESS

Stress can make healthy choices harder — and can sometimes lead to emotional eating. Managing stress is just as important as what’s on your plate.

1

TRY DEEP BREATHING, MINDFULNESS, OR GENTLE STRETCHING

2

KEEP A JOURNAL TO TRACK YOUR MOOD AND SPOT PATTERNS

3

REMEMBER: LOOKING AFTER YOUR MENTAL WELLBEING HELPS YOUR LIVER, TOO
