- Avoid after-dinner snacks. But if you want to munch on something while watching T.V., eat an apple.
- Eat slowly and allow your stomach time to signal to your brain that you are getting full.
- Most fruits and vegetables are naturally low in fat and calories; substituting them for high-calorie foods can be a calorie-reducing strategy.
- Cut back on sugary drinks. The average 12-ounce can of soda has more than 100 calories and 10 teaspoons of sugar.
- Limit foods high in cholesterol, such as liver and other organ meats, egg yolks, and full-fat milk and milk products, like whole milk.
- When eating out, eat only half your portion and bring the rest home for later. Or you can share an entree with another person.
- Add hot spices to your food, as they can stimulate your metabolism and help you burn more calories.
