1. Write down everything you eat.
Yes, that includes those snitches while baking and the small handful of snacks you munched on the run. Everything. These little morsels add up, and it helps to notice where you’re getting your calories.
2. Always sit down to eat.
Prepare your food, sit down and eat slowly. In a relaxed state, you will be able to tell when you’re starting to feel full.
3. Cut portion sizes.
Go ahead and have some dessert, but you don’t need a whole slab of cake, right? Just a small square can satisfy. Always take a half-portion of everything. You won’t be denying yourself the taste, but you will be eating half the calories.
4. Fill up with water.
Before giving in to the snack, drink a small bottle of water. Water makes you feel full and helps with weight loss.

"Turn your head to the right, then to the left. Repeat the exercise every time you are offered a second helping."
5. Bring healthy snacks.
Make low calorie eating easy and convenient. Tote along the healthy foods from home that curb your appetite and you will be less likely to indulge in high calorie convenience foods.
6. Add fat burning foods to your diet.
Eggs (and other high protein foods) work harder to burn fat. Here are some you might want to add to your diet: Click Here to Buy
7. Don’t be discouraged.
If you blew it today, start again tomorrow. Remember, you started the weight loss race early. Although you might take a half step back now and then…you’re still steps ahead of the rest!
Keep going, and remember-- you are not alone! And, if you have weight loss tips to share, please do!
