In this Guide, we reviewed information about paying attention to what you are eating and how to manage feelings of hunger and fullness.

Here are some key points:
  1. Meals that match the MOVE! Healthy Plate pattern are healthy, and they help with weight management.
  2. Look at your food diary and plan to change what you are eating.
  3. Having very low levels of fat, alcohol, sugar, and salt in your diet will help you manage your weight.
  4. Favorite foods do not have to be totally removed, but remember to budget your calories, limit portions of high‐calorie foods, and savor your favorite foods.
  5. Continue to wear your pedometer and enter your steps in your Physical Activity Diary.
    • If you were successful at increasing your daily steps, now think about adding even more steps per day. For example, if you started at 4000 steps per day and have been able to successfully get 6000 steps per day for 1‐2 weeks, aim for 8000 steps per day.
    • If you are still trying to increase your daily steps but have not been able to do so consistently for 1‐2 weeks, stick with this goal and try to pay more attention to little things you can do to get some more steps each day. Try adding a 10‐minute walk each day.
