Drink A Gallon Of Water Per Day
I realize this sounds like a lot but it really isn’t that difficult. I count all liquids I drink, coffee, tea, OJ etc… First thing to get in the habit of doing is drink 16 oz of water as soon as you wake up. If your like me and like to have a cup of coffee (my case 2 cups) first thing in the morning then beg=fore you even leave for work you will have consumed 32 oz. Make sure when you are working out you drink a minimum of 20 oz of water. Anytime you drink anything during the day, keep track of how many ounces you consume. Try to make the majority of liquid you consume water. Avoid sodas and energy drinks full of sugar. You can mix in some flavored sparkling water and try mixing in some hot tea, you can add honey if you need flavor.
Eat Breakfast
No matter what, be sure you eat breakfast. If you think you don’t have time in the morning then get up a half hour earlier. Make sure you are taking in at least 20 grams of protein as it will help keep you feeling full longer.
Say No To Late Night Snacking
Over eating of unhealthy foods occurs most frequently after dinner. You finally relax in front of the TV, unwinding from the day and suddenly you find yourself hungry, mostly for junk food. This is when mindless eating occurs, binging on chips or eating too much ice cream. When this urge occurs, drink some water as there is a good chance you are dehydrated. Plain water probably will not taste good so try making your own flavored water. You can also try brushing your teeth or getting up and walking around the room while still watching the tv.
Be Sure To Eat Your Favorite Foods
The worst thing you can do is cut out all the foods you love. I think this is the most important sentence in all of the 5 best diet tips. Even if your favorite foods are unhealthy, do not completely cut them out of your life. Instead, use portion control. Love ice cream, by the small 4oz containers instead of the quart or half gallon. Instead of chips, make some pop corn. There are lots of different ways to make popcorn taste great and it’s a healthier snack then chips. Make sure you use portion control throughout the day, only taking in 300-500 calories per meal 4-5 times per day. Make breakfast your highest calorie meal of the day.
Whenever You Get Hungry – Eat
One of the biggest mistakes people make while trying to lose weight is starving themselves. Instead, plan on eating every 3-4 hours throughout the day to avoid feeling the urge to binge eat. The easiest way to accomplish this goal is to make foods in advance and then take them with you in a microwave safe dish. For example, make a pot of chili. Cook up healthy snacks of chicken, fish or even beef. If you need an afternoon snack, have a protein shake and some cashews, peanuts or almond. having a good amount of protein not only makes you feel full, it’s also a good way to build muscle! Oh – and drink some water!

Oh I always have with me a small box filled with all different dry fruits. Pistachio, almond, raisins and cashew. I have my mount working all day long. 😀
Everyday in my breakfast, I take in a bowl of milk with 3 bananas. Instead of corn flaks put banana pieces in milk, add some sugar and you’re good to go.
Oh thank God you told that I don’t have to entirely cut of on my pizzas. yup, I’m gonna order a small one now and not the large one.
Apart from the rest of the list you shared, thank you very much for sharing the link to popcorn recipes. 🙂 Definitely gonna try them out soon.
Just doing two of the above things proper could do really good to you. First, eat a proper, healthy breakfast. And second, drink a lot of water during the entire day.
You’re right. Mostly whenever we eat anything after dinner, that’s just junk. Should definitely avoid that.
Medical science says that if you have a good breakfast and just a little for your dinner than you’ll hardly have any health problem. But people today are just doing opposite of that.
I have tried a tons of these health and diet tips. The best and easiest thing which anyone can do is DRINK WATER. Drink a lot of water.
