- Identify situations in which you tend to overeat and think of coping strategies for these times. If you snack when you’re bored, try taking a walk or calling a friend instead.
- Eat breakfast. You’ll be less tempted to have a high-calorie snack mid-morning.
- Don’t keep tempting foods around your house or workplace. If you must have them for family members or co-workers, put them out of sight.
- Eat a variety of filling, low-calorie foods, such as fresh vegetables.
- Keep track of portion sizes.
- Try not to get discouraged. If you overeat one day, go back to your eating plan the next day. You’re in it for long-term health.
- Be physically active.
- Take a multi-vitamin and mineral supplements to be sure you’re meeting your needs when you’re on a lower-calorie diet.
