- Keep mealtimes roughly regular when your day allows.
- Add a vegetable or fruit to one meal you already eat.
- Keep a glass of water within easy reach during the day.
- Notice how a meal feels and stop when you are comfortable.

Questions
Common questions about habits
How many habits should I start with?
One at a time is plenty. A single small change is easier to keep than several at once, and you can always add more later.
What if I miss a day?
That is completely fine. Habits are flexible, and you can simply pick up again the next day without any worry.
