1.If you do have a craving for fruit juice then go for fresh fruit juice instead of these that
contain artificial flavors and colors. Or even better, try making your own fruit juice taking care
not to sweeten it with too many calories.
2.Choose fresh fruit to processed fruits. Processed and canned fruits do not have as much fiber as fresh fruit and processed and canned fruits are nearly always sweetened.
3.Increase your fiber intake. Like I mentioned, the body needs a lot of fiber. So try to include in
your diet as many fruits and vegetables as you can.
4.Go crazy on vegetables. Vegetables are your best bet when it comes to losing pounds. Nature has a terrific spread when it comes to choosing vegetables. And the leafy green vegetables are your best bet. Try to include a salad in you diet always.
5.Eat intelligently. The difference between man and beast is that we are driven by intelligence while beasts are driven by instinct. Don't just eat something because you feel like eating it. Ask your self whether your body really needs it.
6. Watch what you eat. Keep a watchful eye on every thing that goes in. Sometimes the
garnishes can richer than the food itself. Accompaniments too can be very rich. Remember
that it is the easiest thing in the world to eat something without realizing that it was
something that you should not have eaten. Selective memory you know
7. Control that sweet tooth. Remember that sweet things generally mean more calories. It is
natural that we have cravings for sweet things especially chocolates and other confectionary. Go easy on theses things and each time you consume something sweet understand that it is going to add on somewhere.
8. Fix times to have meals and stick to it. Try to have food at fixed times of the day. You can
stretch these times by half an hour, but anything more than that is going to affect your eating pattern, the result will either be a loss of appetite or that famished feeling which will make you stuff yourself with more than what is required the next time you eat.
9. Eat only when you are hungry. Some of us have the tendency to eat whenever we see food. We use parties as an excuse to stuff our selves. Understand that the effect of a whole week of dieting can be wasted by just one day's party food. Whenever you are offered something to eat do not decline it completely bit just break of a nibble so that you appear to mind your manners and at the same time can watch your diet.
