Every restaurant Fast food For fine dining, he has a salad.

At the buffet, serve yourself as much as you like,

As long as each time you do that, your plate is half full of vegetables plus whatever else you’re eating. This leaves less room for other stuff, but gives you the flexibility of seconds (or more).

Take matters into your own hands.

vacation? Don’t sweat.

Choose just two things from the list below to do each day. Forget the rest.

1. Walk to the restaurant if you are going to eat out or just get your morning coffee.
2. Some days, skip the alcohol and Consider a non-alcoholic drink If you feel social pressure to drink.
3. Instead of keeping chips and other traditional snack items, choose a vegetable tray or fruit platter to put on the counter for nibbles.
4. Aim to drink three 16-ounce bottles of water a day — especially if you’ve been out in the sun all day.

Just sit there.

Always try to eat meals and snacks from the plate, at the table, sitting on a chair. It’s a surefire way to be more mindful about what you’re eating, rather than just standing in the pantry and snacking while you decide what to eat. Nobody does that.

Stop “counting”.

Calories, Macros, especially micros – de-obsessive in managing diet and stress. Use these tools instead.

Instead of a kitchen scale, use your hands.

At every meal, aim for a palm sized cup or two of protein, one handful of high-fiber grains, two handfuls of produce, and one or two thumb-sized servings of good fats.

Instead of a calorie counter, use a color spectrum.

You want at least two colors from whole food sources. The fiber in these foods will help you feel full during the meal, naturally limiting calories.

Instead of tracing the fibers, use Method 3, 2, 1.

That’s three cups of vegetables, two cups of fruit, and one cup of beans per day.

Instead of focusing on the day, look at the entire month.

Definitely drink flavored water.

If you don’t like the taste of the water, change it. Staying hydrated helps your brain function at its highest level (which means you can make better diet decisions).
