6 Quick & Easy Healthy Eating Tips, Mary Horn, MS, a nutritionist at Miraval Resort, Tucson AZ, tells you how to change your eating habits right now – no excuses!

1. Eat mindfully – Don’t rush through your food. Think about what – and why – you’re eating.
2. Eat for the moment, not the future – Listen to your stomach and stop eating when you’re satisfied. Don’t plan for potential hunger down the road.
3. Eat like a king, queen and pauper – Eat your heaviest meal early in the day, not two hours before bedtime.
4. Slow down – Set your fork down between bites, take a deep breath and be in the moment.
5. Read nutrition labels – Look at labels for hidden fats, hydrogenated oils and high calorie counts – just don’t get hung up on them.
6. Up your fiber – Fill up on fiber-rich beans, fruits, vegetables and whole grains – and don’t forget water, which is also part of maintaining regularity
