#1. Eat Every Day. One habit that's common to many
people who have lost weight and kept it off is eating every day. "Many
people think skipping breakfast is a great way to cut calories, but they
usually end up eating more throughout the day, says Elizabeth Ward, MS, RD,
author of The Pocket Idiot's Guide to
the New Food Pyramids. "Studies show people who eat breakfast have
lower BMIs than breakfast-skippers and perform better, whether at school or in
the boardroom." Try a bowl of whole-grain cereal topped with fruit and
low-fat dairy for a quick and nutritious start to your day.
#2. Eat More Produce. Eating lots of low-calorie,
high-volume crowds out other foods that
are higher in fat and calories. Move the meat off the center of your plate and
pile on the vegetables. Or try starting lunch or dinner with a vegetable salad
or bowl of broth-based soup, suggests Barbara Rolls, PhD, author of The Eating Plan. The U.S. government's 2005
Dietary Guidelines suggest that adults get 7-13 cups of produce daily. Ward
says that's not really so difficult: "Stock your kitchen with plenty of and at every meal and snack, include a few
servings," she says. "Your diet will be enriched with, minerals, fiber,
and if you fill up on super-nutritious produce, you won't be reaching for the
cookie jar."
#2. Have Protein at Every Meal and
Snack. Adding a
source of lean or low-fat protein to each meal and snack will help keep you
feeling full longer so you're less likely to overeat. Try low-fat yogurt, small
portion of nuts, peanut butter, eggs, beans, or lean meats. Experts also
recommend eating small, frequent meals and snacks (every 3-4 hours), to keep
your steady and to avoid overindulging.
#3. Go for the Grain LikE Bread,
Cake, Cookies et: . By
substituting whole grains for refined grains like white bread, cakes, cookies,
and pretzels, you add much-needed fiber and will fill up faster so you're more
likely to eat a reasonable portion. Choose whole-wheat breads and pastas, brown
rice, bran flakes, popcorn, and whole-rye crackers.
#4. Control Your Environments. Another simple strategy to help cut
calories is to control your environment -- everything from stocking your
kitchen with lots of healthy options to choosing the right restaurants. That
means avoiding the temptation by staying away from all-you-can-eat restaurants.
And when it comes to parties, "eat a healthy snack before so you won't be
starving, and be selective when you fill your plate at the buffet,"
suggests Ward. Before going back for more food, wait at least 15 minutes and
have a big glass of water.
