If you’re having one of those bad days when you just cannot seem to stick to your diet- holing yourself up from the rest of the world is no solution. That’ll just make you crave for food all the more.
Here are some useful tips that you can use to resist the food temptation:
Do something else!
When watching your fave TV series, don’t sit through the commercials. Fold the laundry – do some sit-ups or step-ups. If you have a bowl of popcorn with you while you watch, you won’t even notice that you have already gobbled up the entire container.
Follow the “one serving” rule
If you’re literally drooling over the thought of ice cream – keep individual servings on hand and make it a rule to have one serving only!
Learn to read your mind
If you’ve just had a light dinner and your mind is telling you to sample a piece of chocolate cake – that’s just a food fix telling you what to do and not a real hunger pang!
Stop and smell your food
Sometimes, even the aromatic smell of what’s cookin’ on the kitchen is enough to make you feel full.
Drink water!
Finally, slurp one serving of soup or drink up a glass of water before eating lunch or dinner – this will make you feel fuller, faster.
These are great tips – I do all of the above all of the time lol. Instead of water sometimes I opt for something warm like coffee or tea – for some reason it satisfies me more than the water does – although its prob all in my head.

No matter how hard I try…..I just cannot resist chocolate!!! I LOVE anything with chocolate………brownies, muffins or just plain chocolate.
It’s a curse and a weakness!
Stop being so fat and stop eating, if you really wanted to lose weight you would have done already.
Cameron, what an idiotic statement from you. If it were that easy, don’t you think there would be less overweight people in this world?? Do you just think no one else has thought of that?? Educate yourself before you say something so stupid.
