  1. WATER: Drink lots of it, before meals and between meals. Dehydration often masks itself as hunger.
  2. EAT YOUR CALORIES: Don’t drink them, except for healthy smoothies. No sodas (even diet) or most juices. Eat your fruit when possible, the extra fiber helps you feel full.
  3. USE SMALLER PLATES: And a bigger spoon or fork. Trick your body into thinking you are eating more food. If you see a plate filled with food your brain thinks “Wow i just ate a whole plate of food”
  4. PILE UP YOUR FOOD: Heap your food into a tall pile, same philosophy as above, a tall pile of veggies looks much bigger.
  5. VEGGIES FIRST: Put your vegetables on your plate first, they should cover about half of it.
  6. MAKE IT LOOK BIGGER: If you eat half a chicken breast and save half for another meal, cut it the long way so as it looks bigger.
  7. SPICE  IT UP: Spicy food fools your taste buds into being more satisfied with smaller amounts. TIP, sprinkle popcorn with a spicy pepper blend, delicious.
  8. NO FAD DIETS: Starvation mode freaks your body out so that it holds onto every fat cell for dear life, on case you need it later.
  9. LOVE YOURSELF: If you don’t love yourself heavy, you wont love yourself skinny either, it’s not a magic fix-all for problems, you did not get heavy overnight, you will not lose it overnight either.
  10. CHANGE YOUR LIFE: There is no magic cure, the ONLY way to lose weight and keep it off is to consistently burn more calories than you take in. It’s a life change, not a 2 week change.
  11.  KEEP TRACK OF INCHES: When you think you have hit a plateau in weight loss its your body exchanging fat for muscle, muscle tissue is half the size of fat and burns calories more efficiently.
