Eat, Drink, & Be Healthy

Think back before you snack. People who reviewed their last meal before snacking ate 30 percent fewer calories than those who didn’t stop to think. The theory: Remembering what you’ve already eaten makes you less likely to divulge.

Stubborn Fat. Reduce your starches to one serving or less on days you don’t work out; ramp back up to two servings on days when you exercise intensely.

Keep A Running Total. Throughout the day, scratch a tally mark each time you eat a serving from one of the six food groups. Dieters who keep only a basic food journal are as successful as those who record every bite.

Turn Off The TV. Men and women who watch TV during a meal consume, on average 288 more calories than those who don’t eat with the tube on.
