- Instead of counting calories, concentrate on reducing your fat intake. Fat that you eat converts more readily into body fat than does protein or carbohydrate.
- Try to enjoy your food, eat it slowly and consciously.
- Snack between meals - starving yourself for 6 or 7 hours at a time between lunch and dinner means you will overeat at dinner.
- Focus on one thing at a time. Everything we do is based on habits. If you’ve got to both get into the habit of eating great and exercising daily, you run a big risk of getting overwhelmed when you’re not seeing results or you slip a little.
- And since this is the weekend, only diet on weekdays. Don’t binge on weekends, but save two days a week to eat the yummy things. Also, because many people really can’t break that chocolate addiction, calculate one treat every day into your calories.
