1. You need to know that if you want to lose weight for good you must change your eating habits permanently not just for a short period of time otherwise known as a "diet".
2. Never have less than 1,200 calories a day. It may end up slowing your metabolism and backfiring on you.
3. NEVER grocery shop hungry. You will make bad decisions when it comes to picking out food.
4. Don't skip breakfast. People who eat breakfast tend to eat less throughout the day.
5. Drink a large glass of water before your meal and during. It helps you feel fuller.
6. Use smaller plates. You will eat less because you actually think you eat more if you clear your plate.
7. Chew sugarless gum while you cook so you don't snack and nibble.
8. Plan your meals weekly so you don't resort to fast food.
9. Always have the dressings and sauces served on the side.
10. When you feel yourself craving something try and distract yourself for 20 minutes that is how long it takes for a craving to go away!
11. When ever you are craving something try and eat it in it's healthiest form. For example, if you're craving french fries opt for a baked potato.
12. Work out first thing in the morning so no matter how hectic your schedule is that day you have already exercised.
13. Crank your favorite up beat music while you work out, it will make it go by faster and become more enjoyable.
14. Keep a food diary. If you write down everything you eat in a day it will help you to eat less.
15. REMEMBER every small change will add up. Just giving up butter on your toast will help you lose up to 12 pounds in a year!
