Eat intelligently.
The difference between humans and animals is that we are driven by intelligence while animals are driven by instinct. Don’t just eat something because you feel like eating it. Ask yourself whether your body really needs this piece of food at this time ... discipline and will power are your keys to long term success.
Control that sweet tooth.
Remember, sweet things nearly always mean more calories. It is natural that we have cravings for sweet things especially chocolates and other confectionary. However, take this weight loss tip seriously ... go easy on sugary things and each time you consume something sweet understand that there will be a price to pay!
Set Fixed 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 be that famished feeling that puts your diet under pressure and could result in you “breaking” and stuffing yourself with loads of “bad food”!
Avoid snacking between meals
Do not fall into the trap of constantly snacking between meals. This is especially true for those of us who have to travel a lot. We may feel that the only way we can get a bite to eat is to use cafe snacks and junk food. The main problem here is that most snacks and junk food are full of fat, sugar, salt and saturated oils. Just think ... those French fries may look tempting but they are terrible nutritionally speaking.
Do not skip meals.
One of the worst things that you can do while watching your diet is skip meals. Contrary to what you might think, missing meals is bad as it disrupts your metabolism, creates terrible hunger pangs (increasing the likelihood that you will “break” and start snacking) and if repeated over a long period of time, will send your body into “starvation mode”. Try to have at least three regular healthy meals every day.
