Good Tips for Weight Loss
- Eat at least three times a day. Add 1-2 snacks in between meals
- Pay attention to your body. When you feel you have had enough to eat, stop. Quit before you feel full, stuffed, or sick from eating. You can have more later if you are really hungry.
- If you still feel hungry or unsatisfied after a meal or snack, wait at least 10 minutes before you have more food. Often the craving will go away.
- Drink plenty of calorie-free drinks (water, tea, coffee). You may be thirsty not hungry.
- Pick lean meats, low-fat or nonfat cheese, and skim (nonfat) or 1% milk instead of higher fat/higher calorie choices.
- Get plenty of fiber. Vegetables, fruits and whole grains are good sources. Have a high-fiber cereal every day.
- Cut back on the sugar. For example, drink less fruit juice and regular sodas.
- Limit the amount of alcohol (beer, wine, liquor) that you drink.
- Keep all food in the kitchen. Eat only in a chosen place, such as the table. Don’t eat in the car or the bedroom, or in front to the television.
