Peanuts during watching TV). Slower way to eat can give your brain about 20 minutes to recognize how full your stomach is. Definitely avoid eating when you feel bored, upset. Then, try to find some other activity (a walk or going to a gym is a great example). For many people it is helpful to have a log which records the time consumed and food products.

Eat less but more often
Many people think that eating several small snacks is allowing them later to eat less during main meals. Always carry some healthy, low calorie snacks to be able to eat two snacks during the day.

Do not tell yourself that you’ll never eat your favorite ice cream or a package of crisps. Complete ban may result in even more of desires. Also do not ever stop eating fatty foods, you have to eat some fat to stay healthy. The key to success is making healthy choices most of the time.
Start move
Don’t think you have to practice sport classes or go to aerobics to lose weight. Try different exercises until you find the exercises that make you relaxed. For some people it will be cycling, running or other swimming. If you absolutely do not feel like doing exercises, at least try to walk or ride a bicycle for instance, in work, school, etc. All of which makes you move is appropriate. Your goal should be exercise lasting at least 60 minutes per day.
