Here are six diet tricks that aren’t always easy to stick to, but they’ve proven to be effective.
1. Put Away the (Food) Scale: The amount of food intake matters when you seek to lose wight. Portion control isn’t about measuring; it’s about ordering two appetisers instead of an entrée and cutting back on bread if you have pasta.
2. Stash Fruit: Fruit intake is advisable; keep fruits at work and at home. It helps during the I-need-chocolate part of the afternoon.
3. Reduce Chocolate Intake: When weight reduction is top of your agenda then chocolate intake is a no go area. Resist the urge to eat chocolates when they arise.
4. Avoid Liquid Calories: Cut out drinks with calories—juice, lemonade, and, hardest of all, after-work wine.
5. Break Out the Skinny Jeans: Wear something tight! It provides the extra bit of motivation to lay off the fries and stay fit and trim.
6. Set Aside Leftovers: Serve yourself, then immediately pack the leftovers in a Tupperware container and store in the fridge.
