5 tips shared in the video:
1. Lower the bar on healthy eating expectations. We all have heightened stress and feel like things are out of control. Comfort foods can be helpful in creating a sense of normalcy.
2. Be mindful about hunger cues and emotions. What you eat is less important.
3. Keep to a routine. Including meal and snack times.
4. Have a fruit bowl out in your kitchen.
5. There’s nothing wrong with coffee!
