Simple Steps To A Healthier Life is an online health and wellness program that can help you make the best food choices. The online health coaching program, called a Direction, provides you with support and techniques to eat healthy.

Eat Healthier (Direction)

It takes more than nutritional guidance to change behavior—especially when culture and environment keep us stuck in old habits. Eat Healthier Journeys help you make the leap from concept to everyday practice one focused pathway at a time. Journeys like More Veggies in No Time, Go Mediterranean and Fuel Up: Eat for Energy help you first “try on” and then practice new habits for better nutrition, weight loss—and just feeling better—all step by small, compelling step.

Follow these Journeys to Eat Healthier:

CART HERO

Shop with a purpose and discover how easy it is to bring home a cartload of health. From simply making a list to learning to read labels to shopping the outskirts of the store—all you have to do is begin.

COACH YOUR KIDS TO EAT HEALTHIER

You want to give your kids every advantage in life—why not start with good nutrition? Learn to tempt your elementary-school-age kids with foods that are fun and tasty in addition to being good for them. The result: healthy, happy kids.

DINE OUT: TAKE CHARGE

It is possible to enjoy a great restaurant meal and not let go of your healthy eating goals. Learn where the healthier options hide and how to ask for better choices that may not even be on the menu.

FUEL UP: EAT FOR ENERGY

This Journey will help you build the skills to eat for energy all day. You’ll learn how to power up at breakfast and pick some smart snacks to keep you fueled up between meals. Before you know it, you’ll be eating for energy every day of the week.

MORE VEGGIES IN NO TIME

Whether it’s cooking at home or dining out, getting more vegetables onto your plate is easier than you think. Just start with some small steps and you’ll be on your way to eating better!

UNSUPERSIZE YOUR MEALS

Welcome to your Journey to rightsizing your eating habits. Practice how to estimate portion sizes. Design a perfectly balanced plate. Arm yourself against the upsizing of portions everywhere you turn. Take it one rightsized step at a time.

FIT IN MORE FRUIT

Learn to buy and prep fruit for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks or dessert. Eat or prepare fruit in new ways to help you add more fruit to your daily diet.
