Save Your Way to Slim

If you started a diet the first week in January and were tempted to overeat the second week, you may agree the third week in January, Healthy Weight Week, is the perfect time for a sustainable approach to achieving a healthy weight. Occurring on the third week in January since 1982, Healthy Weight Week celebrates the non-diet approach to healthy living. During this week we are encouraged to improve our health habits in lasting ways by eating well, fitting physical activity into our day and feeling good about ourselves and others.

Your Hy-Vee registered dietitian recommends a personalized meal and snack plan that allows for your favorite foods and fits your budget. Eating well doesn’t have to be expensive; wise choices can extend your food dollar.
