Behavior modification ideas
Think thin:
Why you want to lose weight; set long term goals; avoid crash diets for certain occasions; give yourself nonfood rewards; learn to distinguish hunger for cravings
Plan ahead:
Only keep food in kitchen and not scattered around the house; stay out of kitchen unless cooking or cleaning; avoid tasting while cooking; low calorie foods in front in fridge and high calorie towards back; remove temptation; plan meals, snacks, and groceries
Eat wisely:
Never skip meals; wait 10 before eating if you have urge; eat before starving and stop when satisfied; serve food from stove to the plate to avoid large portion sizes; eat the low calorie foods first; drink water with meals; use a small plate; chew thoroughly and eat slowly; eat before attending a social function
Shop smart:
Never shop when hungry; shop from a list; buy foods in quantity that you need; stock up on fruits and vegetables
Change your lifestyle:
keep busy with hobbies or projects; brush teeth immediately after eating; trim recipes; keep food and activity and hunger records; give yourself permission for planned indulgences; exercise; get more sleep
