Keep vegetables, low-sugar fruits, nuts and seeds in your diet, and make the way you eat varied and enjoyable enough to sustain for years.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Expect an adjustment period.<\/strong> The first few days of a dietary change can feel rough while your body adapts to burning fat for fuel; energy typically rebounds within about a week.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eat a high-protein breakfast every day.<\/strong> A protein-and-natural-fat breakfast with a low blood sugar impact has been shown to reduce appetite and cravings all day long.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Find non-food rewards.<\/strong> If you&#8217;re in the habit of using sweets as a reward, brainstorm alternatives &#8212; a pedicure, a massage, a call to an old friend &#8212; that don&#8217;t leave you feeling worse later.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eat real food.<\/strong> Build meals around meat, poultry, fish, eggs, cheese, nuts and seeds, vegetables, low-sugar fruit, and minimally processed fats, and limit anything with a bar code on it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Watch portions and labels.<\/strong> Eat when you&#8217;re hungry, stop when you&#8217;re comfortably full, and read the label on everything &#8212; sugar, corn syrup and hydrogenated oils turn up in surprising places.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our takeaway for our patients: healthy weight management is one of the most powerful things you can do for your gynecologic and overall health, from hormone balance to incontinence risk.
