Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Self control

1. Portion control! Cutting down a little goes a long way. Watch how much you put on your plate. For every bite you don't eat, your thighs will thank you.
2. A smaller plate makes a smaller portion look bigger. When your eyes are bigger than your tummy, trick them into thinking you're eating more by using a smaller plate.
3. If you drink a lot of juices, colas, and teas, either eliminate them or scale back. They are full of sugar and empty calories. If you can't give them up, dilute them by adding a little water. This will work for juice and tea ... not so much for your colas!
4. Use condiments sparingly. Go ahead and load up that baked potato. Just make sure you don't load up so much that you can't see the potatoe!
5. When dining with friends, ask for a to-go box before you dig in. Studies show you are less likely to stop eating when you are socializing...even when you're full!
6. Who doesn't love french fries? I'm sure you know how unhealthy they are, but here's something you may not know- the frozen kind you find at the grocery store have about half the calories as your drive-thru variety. Save some calories without saving on taste!
