Write down what you are eating - be as objective as possible, especially when measuring the portion size. For that, get a food journal. And do frequent surveys, for instance weekly. Your goal is to learn from past experiences to be more successful in the future.

End eating 3 hours before bedtime. Give your body an opportunity to digest all food and begin the fat burning mechanism at night. You’ll lose weight in your sleep- can it be any better?

A lot of popular beverages contain additional sugar or corn syrup (what is simply a different form of sugar). Sodas, luxury java beverages and shakes tend to hold a lot of added sugar. Even fruit juices (claiming to be natural) are often "sugared up".

At the workplace and at home, clean all drawers, cupboards etc. from snacks. Have a bag with vegetables with you - this will give you a natural, healthy snack if you require it. Carrots and broccoli tops are great for that. You can’t consume too much of those- the fiber will fill you up quickly.

Processed and packaged foods are better to be kept off. They might seem handy, but if you want to control what goes into your food you have to prepare it yourself. If you truly want to buy processed food, determine if it holds any trans fats. If so, don’t purchase it.

Skipping breakfast is ordinarily not a good idea. Breakfast skippers tend to think, they would scale down their total calorie consumption. But commonly they eat more in the evenings, and oftentimes they consume more calories in that manner compared to eating breakfast.

Water or a low calorie soup are wonderful to have before eating. They will fill you up. It helps with portion control. There are always two factors to look at: What you eat and how much of it. The "how much" gets simpler if you have water or soup before.

Soy milk is great as a substitute for regular milk for women over 40, because it helps with declining oestrogen levels.

Consume plenty of water or herbal tea. You need to flush toxins out of your system- and the best way to do that is by drinking plenty.

Have 5-6 small meals each day. Just make sure you do not extend your daily calorie limit. Your food diary will help you with that.
