1. Those who have acidity , tend to get hungry frequently, the best thing to do is drink warm water first thing in the morning, drinking hot water not only flushes all the body toxins but also controls the acidity. If you have break outs, then also this is very useful. You will see changes after continuing it for 1 week.
2. Drink lots of water. Water not only quenches your thirst but also gives you a stomach filling feeling. Remember, never drink water just after your meal, drink simultaneously or before the meal.
3. Eat fruits with 0 fat and a few calories. The best one which I recommend is Apple. But you can have oranges and papaya, watermelon, etc.Avoid sweet and high calorie content fruits like Mango, banana,etc.
4. Read the number of calories and fat content of each food you take. Try to eat food with zero fat like non fat milk, curd,etc.
5. Eat meals in small quantity but frequently, in every 2hrs.
6. In the morning its best to start the day with any zero fat corn flakes and non fat milk. Eat to satisfy your self.
You will be filled for hours.
7. Divert your attention, Put on some music, dance or just take a walk outside a park where there are no food shops.
8. If you are feeling like eating ice cream, go for non fat yogurt, its available in chocolate, black forest, vanilla flavors. You can enjoy a scoop of ice cream once a month.
9. Stop eating outside. Try to eat home cooked meals as much as possible. Eating outside takes you closer to your temptation, you may go to a subway for picking a sandwich but may end up with some chips, etc. So don't trust yourself too much. Remember, the best way to avoid temptation is to keep away from it.
10. Do sit ups, Sit ups tend to contract your stomach muscles, thus they make your stomach space lesser everyday. Remember don't ever try to over eat. If your stomach feels filled, leave the rest. If it does not goes to dustbin, it will go to your butt. Stop worrying about food waste. What for are refrigerators and air seal containers, etc?
11. Cook in small quantities. There are two advantages of this. Firstly, there will be no wastage, secondly, there will be lesser amount to eat and every time you will cook that will lead to some extra physical activity.
12. Replace your soft drink with Zero calorie Pepsi or coke.
13. If you want to eat chocolate, eat nutri bars of chocolate flavors. The best one being Fibre One(among all that I have tried...).
14. Don't drink juice, instead go for water with half of the lemon squeezed in it.
15. Every time you feel hungry , before you eat, go to gym and burn the amount of calories you are going to have. You will realize that every calorie is so difficult to burn, you will be more inclined to eat lesser.
16. Plan your meals. Don't overeat and as well don't eat lesser. IF you have been eating 2000-1600 calories per day and you need to eat 1200 calories to loose weight, don't jump from 2000 to 1200, that will be very difficult for your body to adjust. The best thing is to do it gradually. First week make it 1600, then next week 1500, then 1400......
17. Try meditation. I know many people tend to over eat when they are stressed, the best way to over come stress is to meditate in the morning. You will feel instantly revived and calm.
18. Be patient. Rome was not built in one day! You just can't get over temptations in one day. It takes time. We went to Vegas and last to last weekend and I ate ice cream in the dinner, my most favorite thing to eat...then the next day I again took a cup of ice cream...I ate just half and threw the rest. From that day I have not eaten even a spoon of it.
19. Don't bring any high calorie food or fat food in house. Replace everything. Throw away butter, bring a ketchup of your choice. Replace your oil, use cannola, etc. If you like cheese, replace it with Tofu.
20. Sleep early at night. Don't be awake after 10 pm. This will prevent you from eating late, which adds to the weight exponentially, as in the evening the metabolic rate is the lowest.
You must understand your body firstly, to mold it in a right way. Consider your medical conditions as well. For example, if you are anemic, plan your meal accordingly by adding spinach salad, taking supplements, etc. Consult your doctor immediately if you feel nausea, weak or giddy. Don't torture your self, take it slow and easy. It took me 2 months to loose 3 kgs. Be patient. Don't eat fewer than 1200 calories.
